\u201cDo you remember that?\u201d
\u201cNo, I think I forgot.\u201d<\/p>\n
It all began with a laugh over this simple conversation between two friends. A playful jab at the memory\u2014compared, humorously, to a goldfish\u2019s\u2014opened the door to a much deeper reflection. Why do we forget so easily? Whether it\u2019s birthdays, lectures, or brilliant ideas, memory can be elusive. And yet, in that forgetfulness lies the seed of reinvention.<\/p>\n
Aush, a soft-spoken dreamer from Allahabad, shared how this fleeting nature of memory shaped his early years. Obsessed with academic excellence, he spent most of his school life aiming to rank among the top. The turning point? IIT Kanpur.<\/p>\n
Here, mechanical engineering gave way to curiosity. Robotics replaced textbook learning. COVID-19 may have paused the world, but for Aush, it was the beginning of something new. Surrounded by mentors and peers who encouraged experimentation, he found a purpose that no exam could offer.<\/p>\n
Though family expectations leaned toward UPSC, Aush realized that true fulfillment didn\u2019t come from chasing marks or government jobs. Instead, it came from building, fixing, and innovating.<\/p>\n
