When I was eight, I told my grandmother: “Grandma! Just look at that moon, one day I will go there" while I was resting on a cot in the courtyard along with my grandmother, while I dreamed about being able to touch the Moon someday. I recall correctly, it was the 1st of February of the year 2005, completing two years of Dr. Kalpana Chawla’s (first Indo-American astronaut) demise in the Columbia disaster of 2003. My class teacher Mrs. Chabila Sethiya told us about her life and career. After coming back home, immediately I went to my father and asked him about space and related fields. He told me about Neil Armstrong, the moon landing, NASA, ISRO, and ESA and showed some pictures of them. Beyond the blue sky, my father told me, there is another captivating world and astronauts are the explorers of that mysterious space. That particular day was a turning point in my life and thenceforth my mind got fully engrossed with curiosity about space, and I committed myself to dedicate my whole life to space. In this way, at a very tender age, I was very clear about my ambition and I was knowing the only stream will take me towards my dream is STEM, hence that was the reason for me to choose STEM.
