Career break

Gap year

Oct 2020Jun 2021 · 8 mos · Nainital, Uttarakhand, India

  • To recalibrate my muse in terms of gaining clarity on which career path I wanted to opt for, I took a conscious decision to take a gap from the regular academic schedule for about six months. While I prepared for CLAT as a primary entrance exam, I also delved into re-discovering my long-lost passions in playing the guitar, photography, and artistic pursuits such as animations and UI/UX design, and finding my love for stereoscopy.
  • While this period of a drop was mentally draining, it gave me the strength and impetus to be head strong and boosted the endurance in me, that helped me and paved my way into being the person that I am today!
