My Journey

Hostel life at BGS Vidyalaya became one of the most disciplined phases of my early life. We followed a strict routine — waking up around 4:30 in the morning, going for 5 AM running sessions, completing rounds on the football ground, having breakfast together, attending school, studying, and participating in sports. I enjoyed football, volleyball, and horse riding. That phase taught me discipline, teamwork, physical fitness, independence, and the value of a structured life.

For 11th and 12th, I moved to Aurangabad, now Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. This period helped me continue my academic journey with focus and determination. Later, I got admission into my desired branch, Computer Science and Engineering, at MIT Engineering College, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

Engineering opened a completely new world for me. During engineering, I did not join any private tuitions. I was fortunate to have some very good teachers in the first year, and they helped me build a strong academic foundation. Along with classroom learning, I focused on self-study, practical understanding, and exploring technology independently.

During my engineering days, I also participated in a social club where we performed various service activities for society along with technical education initiatives. That experience helped me understand that knowledge becomes more meaningful when it is used to serve others. It also strengthened my interest in teaching, mentoring, technology, and practical problem-solving.

After engineering, I went to Hyderabad for GATE preparation. Those nine months were very important in my life. I studied many new and important concepts in depth, built strong discipline, and made good friends. During that period, I also used to visit a temple in the Abids area, which supported my spiritual growth and inner focus. That phase gave me both academic clarity and spiritual strength. Eventually, through sincere effort and focused preparation, I qualified GATE.

After qualifying GATE, I got admission to NITTTR Bhopal. My journey from Hyderabad to Bhopal started with good friends, including Dhirendra, and we studied, researched, and grew together.

My time at NITTTR Bhopal was one of the most transformative phases of my life. Around 2014, when high-speed internet was still not common everywhere and Jio had not yet become part of everyday life, our college had a 10 Gbps leased line, powerful systems with Xeon processors, 16 GB RAM machines, good monitors, excellent labs, and strong research facilities. For a technology student, that environment was a blessing. It gave me great exposure to technology, research, development, experimentation, and serious academic learning.

At NITTTR Bhopal, I started exploring software development more deeply. I worked on projects, learned new technologies, and developed a stronger interest in building useful systems. The City of Lakes gave me the right atmosphere to think deeply, study seriously, build projects, and grow both academically and personally.

The GATE stipend of ₹12,400 was very important for me during that time. Along with my studies, I also took home tuitions and worked on some freelancing projects. Many nights were spent in the hostel working till late, sometimes even till 4 AM, for research, development, and learning.

During this period, my spiritual journey also continued with the association of saintly people. Visits to Ujjain were especially memorable and inspiring. That phase gave me a beautiful combination of technology, discipline, research, self-study, friendship, spirituality, and practical problem-solving. It shaped my mindset as a learner, teacher, developer, and engineer.

Initially, I wanted to become an Assistant Professor, and I started my academic career on a contract basis at Lonere. Even there, my learning did not stop. I used to spend long hours on campus, often from morning 9 AM to night 9 PM, learning, teaching, and developing products. I still remember walking through quiet natural surroundings to my room. That simple and focused life helped me continue my habit of learning deeply.

Later, in Nanded, I continued my teaching journey. I taught difficult subjects to M.Tech students and kept improving myself beyond my regular duties. I also developed an attendance application to make my own work easier, which reflects my natural habit of solving practical problems through technology. Nanded also gave me another beautiful memory — learning swimming in the sacred Godavari river.

Then life entered a new phase. I got married and experienced another dimension of responsibility, family, balance, and personal growth. Life continued, responsibilities increased, and learning continued.

Over the years, I moved from academics into software engineering, but the foundation remained the same: discipline, curiosity, self-study, teaching, spirituality, and problem-solving. I still enjoy understanding how things work — whether it is a software system, a database, computer networking, AI, farming, or any real-life problem that needs a practical solution.

Outside my professional life, I love swimming, farming, nature, good food, spirituality, and spending meaningful time with my family. Farming keeps me connected to patience, simplicity, and the earth. Technology keeps me connected to innovation, systems, and problem-solving. I see both as forms of creation.

Today, I see myself as a combination of many journeys — a family person, engineer, mentor, spiritual learner, farmer, teacher, builder, and lifelong student. For me, life is not only about career growth. It is about learning continuously, serving sincerely, staying grounded, building useful things, and growing with the right values.
