I Wish I Read More

    Literature and media provide us with a rich diversity of time travel stories. Of course, physics explains that time travel requires an astounding amount of energy, and the technology to manage this energy is impossible with our present knowledge.

    According to present theories, the best outcome is that our bodies will freeze in a single moment without the ability to see, feel, or interact with the future or past. At worst, our bodies would be disintegrated long before traveling even a second forward or backward. So, the popular time travel plots are woefully unrealistic.

    Placing physics aside, seeing dinosaurs and meeting famous people like Teddy Roosevelt, Tesla, Columbus, Einstein, or Pocahontas would be amazing. How about having a beer with George Washington or showing Edison a smartphone?

    My grandfather passed away in 1992, and I recently learned he was a badass OSS agent. What adventures did he have? I will never know. The only way to learn would be to time travel and talk to him about it. Our family has a minor mystery. My great-grandfather got dementia in 1955 and took out a large loan with his company as collateral. He could not remember what happened when asked about it, and the company folded. Another way to use time travel.

    I made many mistakes, and I have wondered what it would be like to correct those mistakes. A good example is not brushing my teeth. I wish I could go back and tell myself to brush, but there is a problem. Let’s pretend present Bill meets six-year-old Bill. “Brush your teeth!” “No way. Old man!” I remember six-year-old Bill. He’s a seventies kid who did his own thing and would not listen to anybody.

    My biggest past-changing desire would be to read more. Growing up, my mother took us to the library, and I selected the typical books like the Hardy Boys. Unfortunately, I did not read beyond boy’s fiction. Part of the problem stemmed from the poor selection of seventies books, and another was the tedious task of returning them.

    Let’s explore this time-traveling concept. Old Bill convinces young Bill to read more. The result would be a more educated adult Bill with better English skills.

    Now, hold on. Part of childhood is wasting time doing kid things like riding bikes, talking to friends, watching useless TV, sleeping in and annoying parents. This bookworm change would alter that balance, resulting in a reduction in Bill’s present social skills. Would this tradeoff have made me a better person? I cling to the belief that it would, yet my heart disagrees.

    Childhood is complex, and the playground taught us more lessons than the classroom. How does a boy deal with the bully? How does a shy boy ask a pretty girl out on a date? How does a boy learn how to ride a bike? Those are all skills not contained in books.

    Let’s do another time travel experiment. Young Bill’s family is transported to the present time, and he grows up. Because there are higher quality and more books, Bill would have read more and become a better person. Umm, no. Cell phones, the internet, and modern pressures have turned modern children into introverts who do not read. Having my family time travel would tune me into a different person who is not necessarily better than the present person.

    Hmm. It sounds like we need to leave the past in the past alone. Fortunately, present and future Bill will not have the option to do any time travel meddling. Or will they?

    You’re the best -Bill

Columbus August 1st

See anything wrong/missing? Please let us know!

Please click ‘read more’ to view the details from the show! It WILL contain spoilers from the show!

‘Props’/Opening of the Show

Starts with what they are not going to do

Mentions ‘erotic role play’

Dan as a criminal, Phil as a policeman, voiceover of implied smut

Dan and Phil ‘strip’

Truth Bombs

Dan: what form of torture would make them say anything?

A: hello internet on a loop, straightening his hair, any social interaction

Phil: what imaginary sport would they get a medal in?

A: Voldemort lookalike, cereal stealing, accidental innuendos

D&P: how will they die?

A: Falling off the stage (winner), browsing the internet and forgetting to eat, together

Ball & Mystery Box

Phil threw a ball into the audience to guess what was ‘inside’ the mystery box

secret slime, anime body pillow, dead rats

Dan VS Phil

Psychic Connections - types of steak (Dan said ribeye, Phil said mis-steak)

Phantastic Phacts

This part has been removed from the show.

Dan, Phil, or a Rat?

Picture: Rat (Phil gets it wrong)

Picture: Rat (Dan gets it right)

D&P Dilemma

For Phil: Dan is in the next avengers movie, but Phil has the hiccups everyday. Phil said no.

For Dan: Phil gets to have super strength, but Dan’s arms have to be half the length. Dan said no.

Friendship Test loser - Phil (30 - 28, Dan is in the lead)

Wheel of Doom

Phil was sacrificed.  

Dan nearly hit Phil right in the dick and as soon as the shot landed Dan flopped to the ground and laid down.

Good VS Evil

Dan - burning alive, eating placenta, slow internet

Phil - Infinite chocolate, flower crowns, stage diving

Getting Deep

Q: Did you guys play any sport at school? You guys would be good at basketball because you are so tall.

A: The height yes, the ball wrangling skills, no (reference to Phil catching all the balls earlier in the show). Phil was the fourth best person in his grade at long jump because of how long his legs are. Phil liked the athletic stuff that did not involve competition. Dan said he just faked illness and sat in the corner listening to MCR. He added that it got to the point that the teachers just accepted all the emo kids were not going to participate because the sweat would mess up their hair. “I just want to join the Black Parade Mr. Rodger stop judging me” - Dan

Q: Tell us about you last dreams in spicy detail.

A: Dan describes a reoccurring dream that he has a few times every year. The dream is that a bee flies into his ear, and last only about 6 seconds each time. Dan criticizes his brain for channeling all that energy into giving him a 6 second dumb dream, “it’s like a vine”. Phil says his last dream was because Dan was telling him conspiracy theories before bed. He was lost in the artic and he went to a mountain where he found an empty hole that went to the center of the Earth and he fell down it. 

Both dreams were also discussed in greater detail in the Rize liveshow on August 2nd.

Q: I can’t stop thinking about all the cringe things I did 5 years ago, how do you learn to live with regrets?

A: All cringe things you did in the past is character development for who you have become today. Dan says “just look at me, I’ve made so many mistakes. But if I didn’t I would’t be sat here right now, so I love every cringe memory I have....... like half the time.” Phil jokes that he thinks wholesome howell is leaking.

Golden II Awards

Lyrics to this part of the show (fan cited/not official)

*Bonus*

The audience was named Dorothy

The did the ‘OH-IO’ chant where Dan and Phil shouted ‘OH’ and the audience shouted back ‘IO’. They were told about this during a m&g and then did it at the show!

Phil said the chant made him feel powerful and Dan said it made him wish he were passionate about where he came from.

During the ‘psychic connections’ when Dan said ‘ribeye’ and Phil said ‘mis-steak’ Dan ran up to Phil and Phil shouted ‘your mom’s a mistake’ and then he said ‘sorry I got scared because you were advancing me’ and then Dan said ‘your mom is advancing on me’

During Dan’s piano solo, he dabbed.

During the ‘good vs evil’ part, Dan got very existential about ‘burning alive’ regarding his old brand and went on a full rant. He then walked behind the stage where we could still see his silhouette behind the screen, and he gave us all the finger.

When the balls were thrown in the audience someone threw the ball back to the stage before time was done to catch them and Phil made fun of us.

Phil wore an ‘ohio state’ basketball jersey during the diss track! 

A moth flew on stage and they stopped everything to comment on it. Dan also ducked because it flew near him.

we cheered EVERY time satan came up in conversation, n dan called us blood thirsty

[gretcha-sketches]

These past two days have been incredible. The biggest thank you goes out to everyone who has worked their heart and soul into this show. All of their work shows! They made everything run as smoothly as possible and it was a lot of the staff that made Interactive Introverts the best experience of my life! And I do not say that lightly. Of course Dan and Phil for bringing so many people closer together and giving us a way to make friends and connect with people. I have met the kindest people just because we were all going to the same show. I love all of you. Everyone I have meet through the August 1st GC or at the show. Everyone was so sweet and it was so nice to talk with people who have similar interests as me. I got to travel with my best friend which is more than I could ever ask for. I’m never going to forget this.

[slutfordriver]

Hi here's my month late video on my interactive introverts experience! Show me some love 😊💕

[mytinyboringlife]

I know it's last minuet but if anyone is going to interactive introverts today in Columbus and has VIP I'm going alone and would like to make some friends instead of standing there alone awkwardly....

Feel free to message me!

[madderzkicksass]

Does anyone know what time I’m supposed to get to the venue for meet and greets for Columbus on August first? I haven’t got any kind of communication telling me when or where to go.. and I don’t wanna accidentally miss it or be to late or something stupid and I’m paranoid!!!

[gaylesters]

FOR ANYONE GOING TO THE COLUMBUS SHOW

I HAVE CREATED A DISCORD SERVER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN AND MEET MORE PEOPLE GOING TO THIS SHOW, FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME!

Here’s the link to join the server: https://discord.gg/EnvjYP

(let me know if it doesn’t work!)

[softcherubhips]

I need to vent. I'm aware this will probably cause some controversy. Please know that I am open to any and all interpretation and constructive criticism so please feel free to message me with ANY questions or concerns you have! I mean it when I say that I am here for you, even if you just need a shoulder to cry on or another human to vent to.

Here are some facts that I know to be true. I am white. I am an American citizen. I am a mother. I am a grandmother. I am a person who has lost someone who died from cancer. I am a recovering drug addict. I am a wife. I am bisexual. I am a Christian. I like to think of myself as a realist. I realize that white privilege exists. Do I claim to be knowledgeable of all things controversial? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Do I want to educate myself and try to learn all that I can about said controversies? ABSOLUTLEY YES!

I saw a post earlier that said, "can y'all stop reblogging those “i am not black, but i see you” post like im begging...." I consider myself to be an ally of many people and many causes including Black Lives Matter. As I stated earlier, I am white, which obviously means I'm not black. Does that mean I cannot get behind the Black Lives Matter cause? If this is the case then logically it would make sense for me to say hey you can't support ovarian cancer awareness because your mom didn't die from ovarian cancer. Right?

Listen, I know what it feels like to be in a minority. NOT in the black minority, but a minority nonetheless. I grew up on the Flathead Indian Reservation. There were 6 other white people in my high school and 2 of them were my brothers. I don't say this to gain sympathy or in any way compare it to being in a black minority. I am just saying that I had many friends that were kind to me and supported me even though we were of a different race. It's hard to be in a minority. It's very comforting when you are a minority to know that someone else supports you and cares about you despite your differences, your skin color, your customs or beliefs, your heritage and your history.

We all belong to the human race. In my heart of hearts I feel like I would categorize myself as an introvert. I often make up excuses and cancel plans so I don't have to interact with other people. I hate this about myself and it's something I am continually working on. Because I tend to isolate and use various "crutches" to escape and numb out (pills, fan fiction, food, sleep, books, movies/tv shows etc.,), it's nice to know that someone else has your back and sees you and wants to help you. It's comforting to have a cheerleader; someone who cheers you on from the sidelines and believes in you, your dreams, aspirations and potential. It's healthy and normal for us as humans to crave interaction, kindness, attention, validation, support and love.

You don't know if I have two first cousins who are married to black people and have black children who I have personally reached out to by phone and verbally voiced my support. (I do and I have.) You don't know if I have donated money to several different Black Lives Matter causes. (I have.) You don't know if I volunteered my time one Saturday afternoon at The Navajo Nation food bank in Salt Lake City. (I did.) You don't know if I own a hijab that I can wear when I visit the local Muslim Temple with my friend. (I do.) You don't know if I actively vocalize my belief that children DO NOT belong on motorcycle or ATVS; no exceptions. (I do.) *This one gets my blood boiling. I held my best friend in my arms as her 2 year old son lie dead in a little blue coffin because his father thought it would be fun to take him on a ride on his motorcycle around the block. I will not make any exceptions to this. It's not cute. It's not safe. It's not fun. Don't do it.*

You're a Catholic? GREAT! I'll quit eating candy for 40 days with you to make Lent a little less lonely. You're a Muslim? AWESOME! I'll cover your shift while you go do salat. You're a native from India? SUPER! I won't eat beef in front you because I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable. You're a Jew? FANTASTIC! I'll help you make challah for Rosh Hashanah. You're a Native American? AMAZING! Please let me vocally support Indigenous People's Day instead of Columbus Day. You're a recovering/ active addict? REMARKABLE! Me too! Please tell me if I say or do anything that triggers you.

Do you understand what I am trying to say? We are all members of the human race. No one wants to be alone in this journey called life. It's nice to have someone there in your corner, cheering you on, whether they are quiet about it or choose to shout it from the rooftops. Call me naive, but I believe that we can COEXIST.

It all boils down to the first and great commandment....LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Even if you don't believe in God, I think we can all get behind this mantra. Just be a good human. Treat people with kindness. Choose love. Be nice to nice. Don't stand idly by while a fellow member of the human race is suffering. Do something. Say something. Stand for something. Educate yourself.

In conclusion, I will support you. Unless it is something inherently evil that you actively and vocally support, ie: nazis, white supremacy, homicide, rape, child pornography, domestic violence, etc., I will be there. In whatever capacity is comfortable for you, I will be there.

Take care my fellow humans. In my heart of hearts I choose to believe that Good will ALWAYS conquer Evil.

OC shitpost

So, I notice a lot of u on here are into PJO/HOO/anything Rick Riordan writes.

@storm-broken-wings

@blackjacktheboss

@cindersart

@ananbeth

And that’s who I can think of off the top of my head. If you don’t read him you should, but I’m warning you that the second series (HOO) is slightly iffy.

While the man and his writing has some flaws, I’ll admit he made a damn good storyboard to work with. I have made several Riordanverse OCs, and would like to share them with you all.

First up, my anxious fire boy, Cal Kowalski! Note: I tried to do my research on Judaism and autism, but if I have offended anyone with this character, please let me know and I will change it!

Name: Caleb David “Cal” Kowalski

Hair: brown

Eyes: brown

Age-17

Height: six foot one, someone stop this boy from growing

Mother: Deborah Kowalski, fire chief for the Cleveland fire department. A force to be reckoned with and extremely inventive-once used a nearby lake to fuel the fire hose when there were no hydrants nearby

Godly Parent-Vulcan. A lot of people forget he’s also the god of fire, so when he saw Deborah risking her life to fight it, he was smitten. Completely fell for her when he admitted that he watched her work as a fire chief. Her response? “You’re a god, right? Stop watching people and buildings burn and start fucking helping.”

Sexuality: bi. Let’s be real, he’s admired Ichor and Jason more than once. Is completely devoted to his also bisexual girlfriend. More on her later.

Camp: Jupiter, Fifth Cohort. Has considered moving to Half-Blood, but dropped it after Octavian...oh right, there are people who haven’t read the books. Let’s leave it at that.

Nationality: Polish.

Religion: proudly (though not supremely devoutly) Jewish. Will make all the jokes about his religion. Was very confused when his mother told him his father was a god

Weapon: Roman infantry axe, or dolabra. Has heard all the woodcutter or lumberjack jokes. Has come up with a few of them

Personality: actual golden retriever, loyal, kind, hardworking, patient, and generous. Won’t fight unless it’s in self-defense, for training, or against monsters. Even then, does so reluctantly. Shy, clumsy, awkward introvert. Not great with public speaking, social interaction, or crowds, though he tries. Ride-or-die friend once you get to know him. Happiest when working at the forges or with his close friends. Autistic. Stims by lacing his fingers together or through card tricks, often says inappropriate things at the wrong time, tends to compartmentalize negative emotions, can talk about forging, metalworking, and firefighters for hours on end, needs systems and routines to function, thinks in very black and white terms. Goes nonverbal when angry, sad, or frustrated.

Powers/Abilities-

Geothermokinesis-can manipulate molten earth, phase change earth into lava and vice versa, cause magma to rise from deep within the earth, forming miniature volcanoes, turn nearby rock molten, and telekinetically project blasts of lava, magma, or molten earth at targets

Weaknesses-socially awkward, gullible, black and white thinking, tends to think badly of himself, survivors guilt, lava he creates can spread and cause more damage if left unattended, can be harmed by his own powers, powers are linked to emotional state so he has to keep his temper or things start to melt

History

-Fire chief mom with large extended family

-mom met Vulcan one night while firefighting, it was rocky at first but after some talking things through and some kissing they made it work

-cal was born that August

-when Cal was three, tragedy struck

-his mother was diagnosed with mesothelioma

-they suspected it was from a fire in a chemical factory shed fought

-the firefighters she was chief of helped raise Cal while his mother underwent treatment,as did his extended family

-He grew up shy and quiet, the opposite of his mother but very much like his father, had difficulty reading, and could never pay attention that well if he didn’t like something

-It took a few years, several theories (some well meaning, some extremely inappropriate, some both) and an official diagnosis at the age of seven before the people taking care of him realized he was autistic, dyslexic, and had ADHD, and that they had to respect that instead of treating him like a normal kid

-some of his extended family thought that meant he wasn’t normal

-he doesn’t talk to them anymore

-the firemen and ninety percent of his family were totally fine with it, even when other things started to happen

-they found him in the courtyard at age ten, a miniature volcano spouting lava into the air and him frantically trying to turn it off

-the Mist shielded them from seeing the entire thing, but they still sat him down and had a Talk about playing with fire

-but Cal knew what happened

-At age twelve, his mother took a sudden turn for the worse. When he went to see her with Hector and Brandon, two firefighters, he was turned away by a doctor that did not look at all like a doctor to him

-The Doctor insults him, only to be challenged by Hector, who can see through the Mist

-He tells Cal to run and see his mom before punching the doctor square in the face

-Cal makes it to his moms room, only to find her struggling and squirming as a monster in a lab coat shoves a pillow onto her face

-Terrified but furious, he scares off the monster with a blast of lava from the ground, which also sets the room on fire

-Making it out of the room, he turns to his mom, only for her to tell him that he’s the son of a god

-He predictably freaks the fuck out, running with her to where he last saw the firefighters

-Only to find that Darnell is dead and Hector is losing the fight against something that looks way too much like the estrie he’s read about once in the Sefer Hasidim

-Seeing Cal, Hector grins with bloody teeth before driving a fire extinguisher into the things head

-it collapses, but before it can get up again the building groans as the fire spreads

-They flee the hospital, forced to leave Darnell behind as the alukah pursues them

-When they get back to the house, everyone is in an uproar. Why is Deborah back, why is Hector’s mouth bleeding, where the hell is Darnell

-While everyone is arguing and taking care of Deborah, Hector and Cal’s aunt Aviva take him into Cal’s room

-He and Aviva confirm what Cal’s mom said, also telling him about the existence of Camp Jupiter. It turns out he is a former legionnaire, having come to Cleveland two years before Cal was born to look after him at Deborah’s request. Aviva can just see through the mist, though Deborah confided in her in case she died before she could do so herself.

-They don’t have much time. After what Cal did at the hospital, his aura is going to attract every monster from here to Columbus.

-He gives him a weird-looking axe, explaining that this dolabra was once his when he was a legionary but now he wants Cal to have it

-They all share a hug, with Hector telling him that everyone in the house has his back

-There’s a knock on the door, revealing the monster from earlier, now disguised as a human social worker via the Mist

-Uses a bunch of ableist language to explain why they should give Cal to him

-No one in the house buys his bullshit, even when he appears human

-The firefighters don’t like the government in general because they offered no workers comp for the cancer their chief got from the factory, and they’ve watched her fight against something that the government was supposed to help her with, the government draining her money all the while. But now this jackass is insulting their kid.

-The extended family are unwilling to give him up, and especially not to a man who insults and belittles him

-monster gets fed up, says that if cal stays here he’ll keep coming for him until he gets what he wants

-cue the entire family telling him to get bent

-Aviva tells Hector to take Cal and go, that she’ll explain to them why and that they all love him

-Roadtrip to California with monsters on their tail

-the estrie catches up to them in Oakland, flanked by its monster buddy, which Cal now knows is a telekhine

-it’s pissed at cal because he’s a demigod and because his father took over their forges

-they fight, and Cal uses the dolabra and kills the telekhine, burnt from his earlier encounter with it

-he’s extremely grossed out by this

-Hector intercepts the estrie before it can get to Cal and fights the estrie, but he’s out of practice and is fatally injured

-Cal watches him die and is furious, pleading to know why the estrie did it

-the estrie just wants to kill a Jewish human, it doesn’t particularly care that he’s a demigod. Hector was in the way.

-Using his powers intentionally for the first time, Cal opens up a volcanic fissure under the estrie and sends her down into the magma

-He then takes Hector to the camp tunnel before passing out

-He’s found there by Gwen, who stands for him

-Some time after, she pulls him aside and tells him that she read in the local paper (all praetors and centurions read the outside paper to get the news for the camp, fight me) that there was a suspected terrorist attack in Ohio around the time Cal came in

-He breaks down and tells her it’s his house, there are no confirmed survivors except for three firemen and his mother

-Alex comes along a month later, and they dance around each other for a while before making it official

Trivia

-he writes letters to his mother whenever he can

-Darnell taught him how to play cards and do card tricks, both for fun and as a stim if needed, he burns a card every year on the day he died

-he definitely had a thing for Jason before he started dating Alex. It never went anywhere though.

-he makes the menorah for the camp-wide Hanukkah celebration (cmon you’re telling me everyone at CJ is Christian or atheist or agnostic? Cmon man)

-he imagines his dolabra is a fire axe when he’s fighting monsters

-his aunt taught him to cook Polish cuisine, among other things, and his kotlet schabowy is to die for, but he’s recently branched out into Chinese food due to his girlfriend’s complaints about how the restaurant chains near them only serve shitty Chinese food

-can jump rope like a boss due to many hours with his younger cousins

-terrified of heights

-that’s all I’ve got so far! If you guys have any other questions about him, send me an ask!

hey, so i’m looking to buy any quantity (1 or more) of VIP tickets for either the columbus ohio, cincinnati ohio or detroit michigan interactive introverts show ! i’ve loved these boys for 5+ years and unfortunately though i did have the privilege to see tatinof at the fox theater, i couldn’t get my hands on any VIP tickets due to them selling out so darn quickly !

it would mean the absolute world to me to be able to meet dnp and i hope if anyone has meet and greet tickets that they aren’t able to use they could possibly sell them to me !! i’ll pay basically any price for one or more tickets, and i’d 10000% be willing to give them a message for anyone who asked if i somehow was able to buy a meet and greet pass

please consider reblogging if you can, i’m giving this all i’ve got!!

Last few months of college life: Part 1- Prologue

As I hold a pen in my hand , crossing are thousand thoughts quivering my mind. How ironical it is, the time when we first got exposed to college life all we wanted were those palpable feel of adrenaline rushing through our veins. Our insatiable friendship was the key which kept us sustained throughout. Then came our Bachelors. Uffff... Engineering was a real struggle. The only fathomable thing I believe I learned in my four years was how to build good relations with the lab assistants to help you clear your internals.And I am sure like me, so was the case with others out there.Then job and now MBA. This is my story

Like all other stories this story also needs a prerequisite, so let me give one. Since School days I was a very shy kid, and probably introvert too. I rather had no fun journey you may say. Being from a boys school really is a big pain , not that we are any different, but being subjugated under catholic school rules made it rather very difficult for us to have any female interactions. On a serious note I used to pity myself for not able to interact with opposite sex properly. The idea that opposite sex were just like us never crossed our minds.This was rather a serious issue for 10yr olds. And this is how the foundation of my social behavior was laid.

Transition from school life to college life was a huge challenge , and the most difficult of that was asking notes from opposite sex. Because see the thing is men in general are very lazy species , mere to make us walk would involve bribing us with some offering in return. Why else you think Columbus went on a voyage to look for India, you think he was looking for adventure ? Nope, he was out there looking for gold in return which his leaders must have promised. So leave alone sincerity to make notes. I don’t want to stereotype but most girls in general are very sincere, so dependency on them automatically increased by ten folds for boys. So as time passed I surpassed my barriers of interactions too. Speaking about college life , specifically our junior college is like a fish in a river. It enjoys the flow, it grows big, has fun with other fishes but in that flow it fails to realize what is coming on its way. Because at the end every river meets the trepidus sea. And for me that sea was Engineering.

Well , my engineering journey was not that scary as much as I tried building up earlier. I had my own shares of Tsunami, and eventually I triumphed. I want to share one incident in particular , which really shaped me for who I am today. I was very active in Robotics competitions , funnily I have more prizes in Robotics than any other. So in my 3rd year in particular I decided to divert my ways and experiment a little on my self , I got an opportunity to set a stall for my college fest. I along with my three friends had developed a program to give a packaged solution providing BMI ( body mass Index) along with diet plan.So say I want to know my BMI , all I had to do was to enter my weight, height etc in the computer and it gave me my BMI and a diet plan to follow for my body. And to gauge the responses of people we decided to host that at our stall. Being responsible for the team, I had to take management related decisions. Our foremost challenge was to decide where to set up the location of our stall, I came up with quirky idea of setting it up in a food court section, so whenever a person would come there to have food  we would encourage them to get their BMI done so as to know if they are in good shape or not. And who else would have been our main Target group than the ladies. We were not only able break-even in a day but also our profits were the highest amongst all the business set up there. 

In a true sense that was my first ever successful business model, so whenever someone asks me why did you do Management role post engineering , I just smile and tell them this story.

It’s because of this milestone event I realized where my interest lies, not that I was a less of an Engineer, but that one event gave me clarity as to where my career is. I must say that was my moment of truth , and I am glad I was lucky enough to realize this early in my Engineering.So when I got an opportunity to work on a Management role post my Engineering, I didn’t shy away from grabbing it, I ensured that I work in a company where my little bit of engineering knowledge would help so as to stay connected with the roots.

MBA was always on the list , so when I got an opportunity to do it , I took it.
