I used to write stories and poems from childhood, but as I was preparing for civil services, I thought that I should first become an IAS officer and then publish a book or story, but I dreamed of becoming an IAS officer, which became a dream.

When I was doing M.Sc in Bioscience, I felt that I should prepare for the Civil Services Examination. I started giving 14-15 hours for civil services at Banasthali Vidyapith. I prepared myself for 2 years and after completing my M.Sc when I asked my family to go to Delhi to prepare for the Civil Services Examination, they refused. After that I joined Ph.D., stopping preparation of civil services due to family pressure. I did not want to give up on my life.

  • Why did you choose Banasthali Vidyapith for your Ph.D.?
