“I have lived all my life in Namkom Khijri, New Anandpur in Ranchi. I am the youngest child of my parents and have led an extremely sheltered life. Alongside my studies, I decided to work at a printing house and also dabbled with electronics. I would give all my earnings to my parents. Early in life, I fell in love with a girl in my neighbourhood. Though she reciprocated my feelings, I discovered that I was not the only she was seeing. I was very disappointed. Then I met a girl who I came to care for deeply. She had been married earlier but separated. We married at a civil ceremony with the blessings of my parents. I am indeed fortunate that I have a wife like her. As a Change Maker, I understand that both men and women need to share space, responsibilities and workload in the home. I plan to respect this idea and hope that I can encourage others to do so.”
