00:00At I am Ahmedabad, when you spend those two years, you know, it's a struggle, you know, every time when
00:07your heart is not there, you know for a fact that you have to complete this degree. How do you
00:12manage that?
00:14See, when it comes to knowledge, I'm a sucker. So I do not really bother how that knowledge would benefit
00:25me in the future.
00:26I am, in some sense, those two years really hardened me and prepared me for the challenges ahead.
00:36Those two years were years of, in some sense, solid rebellion.
00:43Nobody enters I am to, especially Ahmedabad, to do plays and I was doing plays all the time.
00:52Nobody goes there to be sitting at the Gandhi Ashram half the time. And that's what I was doing.
00:58I would teach the kids, be with them. They were doing me a favor by spending time with me, small
01:05kids.
01:08I would be just so happy if one of them gets to watch this or one of them connects to
01:14me someday.
01:15But you know, they were so young, they would hardly have a memory of what was going on.
01:18So that's what I did at I am. And just grinding your teeth and clenching your fists and deciding, I'm
01:30not going to belong to the system.
01:32I am not here to make a career. I am grateful you are giving me all this knowledge.
01:38But the way everybody is just looking at internships and jobs and placements and this and that, I am not
01:47participating in this.
01:50All right.
01:52You
