The Mosaic of Me: A Glimpse into My Background and Passions

I am an extraordinary individual who has not let my disability due to Cerebral Palsy define my limits. My remarkable journey includes completing my Master's in Computer Applications (MCA) and achieving the title of Best Outgoing Student, showcasing my determination and dedication to my education.

Currently, I am contributing my skills and knowledge as a Tech Support Engineer 2 at Dell Technologies in Bangalore and Karnataka, India. This role at a renowned tech company is a testament to my professional competence and resilience.

Beyond my professional achievements, I am an inspiration to many. I channel my motivation and positivity into motivational talks, dancing, singing, and creating accessories. My dance videos have gained widespread attention, going viral and touching the hearts of countless people. Through these creative expressions, I spread joy, encouragement, and a message of resilience.

My accomplishments extend to the fashion world as well. I have graced the ramp as a model and even placed as a Finalist in the prestigious Miss Ability India 2022-23 competition. My presence in the modeling industry challenges stereotypes and celebrates diversity and inclusivity.

I also did trekking a few years ago, and I recently ran the 4.5-kilometer marathon in the 2023 World TCS 10k and successfully completed it.

Inspirations for Embracing Life: What Fuels My Forward Momentum My current endeavors are deeply influenced by the remarkable source of inspiration that is my mother, Rajani Ganesh Kulal. Tragically, I lost my father when I was just five years old, leaving my mom as the sole guiding force in my life. She faced this challenge with unshakable belief and resolve, single-handedly raising me. Her strength knows no bounds. Through her unwavering dedication and resilience, she not only provided for me but also instilled in me a sense of purpose and determination. I've been fortunate to learn invaluable life lessons from her- lessons that extend far beyond the boundaries of mere words. In essence, my mother's unwavering support, strength, and the lessons she's imparted have been the driving force behind my current pursuits. She is a shining example.

Perseverance is my guiding light, urging me never to surrender in the face of challenges. My mission is twofold: to bring smiles to those around me and to keep that radiant smile on my own face.

I hold dear a fundamental life principle: 'It's not about what you lack; it's all about what you can create with what you possess.' This philosophy fuels my journey, emphasizing the importance of resourcefulness and the boundless potential that resides within us, regardless of our circumstances. It serves as a constant reminder that our actions, positivity and determination can reshape our world, one smile at a time.
