There are times when we have to make difficult decisions, take risks and go against the mainstream thinking. This article is about my journey from being a paper boy to becoming a middleware engineer. The journey has been tough, with many obstacles on the way but I have learnt more than anything else in life through this process.

I started working as a paper boy when I was 15 years old. It was really difficult for me to make ends meet, but I never lost my focus and continued with my studies.I woke up every morning at 5 am and delivered newspapers on my cycle for 3 hours. This helped me understand the value of hard work and dedication. And even though it was tough, I enjoyed it because I knew that this is what would help me realize my dream someday. As time went by, I got better at delivering newspapers, managed 200+ households delivering 300+ newspapers everyday which made me to be a part of top 3 employess in newspaper agency and became more efficient with time management as well then I started tutoring kids after college from 6:00 p.m until 8:00 p.m. I studied really hard and got good grades because I wanted to get into one of the best multinational companies in India.
I have been criticized by my relatives, friends and even strangers for my passion and hard work. But I never let them get me down because I knew that if I do not give up then I will be able to achieve my goal of becoming a software engineer. In 2018 when I was in my graduation final year, appeared for mutliple interviews irrespective of off campus/on campus. I was selected for two most reputed MNC's in India which paved path for my dream job. I joined in Wipro Technologies on april-2019 with flying colours by shutting down criticism towards me and proved myself worthy.
