Things mentioned above will seem abstract STUDENTS

to it.
So here, sharing my latest experience when I
enrolled for my PGDM course at IMDR, Pune. It
was a different experience to mix up with students
coming from all across India. As usual, I went on
observing them every day, there were times when
students were expressing their talents and earning
the laudations of their peers and contemporaries.
But I didn’t open up then. I didn’t perform then.
Why?
Because I think that that wasn’t the right time.
People didn’t know me well; my work wouldn’t
have been liked then. I didn’t get that feeling.
Feeling? Suppose you are attending a lecture
and a difficult question is asked and you know the
answer and raise your hand but you look around
and none of the hands are raised. Did you get
that feeling? That feeling!
The time came and I had that feeling when I
was asked to anchor for our cultural event, Kshitij
2020! It was a wonderful experience which I
would cherish all my life. I hope I had entertained
my audience with my mimicry and my jokes.
That was the time when I enjoyed the most while
performing & my audience laughing. Things were
going so well and I would say it happened only
because I waited for the right time.
And talking about Mimicry! I cannot mimic,
rather would not want to mimic Shah Rukh Khan,
Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar or Kareena Kapoor
or anyone from the film firmament. My interest
