In Korea, that small spark began to glow. It started my career in teaching. I met amazing people and I met the woman who had become my wife.Was also the first time that I realized that my normal was actually a local custom.

A little bit about me is that my dad came from a very small village in Kerala and he didn't have much. He never grew up with much. But when he was 19 years old, he decided to come to Delhi to explore opportunitie ...
