I describe my life journey in a simple famous quote from Forest Gump movie, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get”. Growing up in a low-income family with five children in a small village that still struggled with electricity and employment issues made me never have a dream to achieve what I have achieved today. I would never dare to imagine myself, a small boy whose father is a cycle rickshaw’s driver, going to college in the state’s capital, earning my Master degree in Australia, and participating in a fellowship program in the USA as right now. If someone asks me, “what made you whom you are today?” Unhesitatingly, I will reply “my mother”. She made me believe there were three things that will make the life better: good education, women empowered, and entrepreneurship.
