One advice

Sometimes, one advice can turn our life around!

- Navaneethan N

I was brought up in a small village and hail from a very poor agriculture family. My father was a farmer; he was illiterate and a daily wage worker.

After my graduation in science from my hometown, I came to Chennai for the first time for my higher studies with zero knowledge of English or any communication skills. I knew only Tamil and that too the slang of colloquial variety. Fortunately, I got to study in an institute of Government of India in Chennai, offering technology.

Initially I was a buffoon for my batch mates because I spoke to them in Tamil while they all communicated in English or Hindi. Ultimately my hard work, dedication and the attitude learnt from my village culture, helped me and boosted up my confidence to take on challenges.

Fortunately, just before my final semester exam, I saw a newspaper advertisement calling for an application for the post of Technical Assistant in the same institute at Chennai. I applied for the post and I got placed in the same institute despite all the tough competition.
