Feeling on going to ISEF?

I feel proud to represent my country for the second time and I am very much excited. It is I’m sure going to be a fantastic learning experience for me as I would be interacting not only with students but professors and renowned people who have made a mark in life. It would be interesting to learn more about the other participants, their innovative ideas as well as about their country.

Certain Quotes which inspired me:

  • Reach the stars,
  • Fly a fantasy,
  • Dream a dream,
  • And what you see will be!
Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window – or break down a door. When you feel down and out just remember that the darkest hour in life is just before sunrise.

Why did I peruse & My Idol:

My parents and sister have always been my source of inspiration. They have encouraged me at every step of my project. I was also inspired by my guide/ mentor Dr. A. Nassema, and Dr. C. K. Peethambaran without whom all this wouldn’t have been possible. My idol – ‘ Helen Keller Adams’ – the American author and lecturer who was left deaf and dumb at the tender age of 19 months due to an acute illness. She not only overcame her physical handicapped but served as an inspiration for other afflicted people.
