According to my personal experiences, I believe that a school plays a very important role in guiding a student in the right direction in his life. After completing my school, I took admission in the North Campus of Delhi University but at that my primary concern was to look for the college which was closer to my home. Keeping that in my mind, I took admission in ARSD College. This proved to be a turning point in my life. Whatever I am today, whichever role I am playing today in the politics of India, the credit for shaping that personality of mine goes to the ARSD College and its eminent professors. The atmosphere that I got in ARSD College also worked in promoting the political capabilities within me. Today, I have got an opportunity to share my experiences in this special issue for which I convey my sincere thanks to the ARSD College and its editorial committee.

I started my theatre career from ARSD College in 2003 under the banner of Rangyan - The Dramatic Society of our college. Under the convenership of Dr. Gyantosh Kumar Jha, presently the Principal of ARSD College, I was given a chance to play a lead role in the play titled 'Ek Tha Gadha'. From there onwards, I worked hard and overcame each and every obstacle to achieve success in my life. I think that hard work is the key to success. Being given a chance, I think some of us would like to relive our college days and I happen to be one of those. I am proud to be an ARSDian.

The future belongs to those who combine knowledge with character and ambition with humility.
