Read edited excerpts:

What have you been pursuing after graduating from Apeejay School, Faridabad?
I completed my BA in Applied Psychology. Alongside my studies, I joined my father in our plastic manufacturing business. I look after the daily operations at the counter and guide the staff on what needs to be done.

You studied Humanities. What inspired that choice?
I always loved History and Geography, so Humanities felt perfect for me. I enjoyed working on Geography projects — I remember making colourful chart papers for class assignments!

What is your greatest dream in life?
To become a Psychologist. I want to help teenagers understand themselves better — why they think the way they do — and guide them to healthier thoughts and decisions.

How would you describe your school experience?
Very warm and positive! My fondest memories include my classmates, teachers and the cosy environment. I was always protected and supported — especially by my best friend, Palak.

Were there any school events or activities that you especially enjoyed?
Yes! I loved participating in games during school events. I also helped in decorations like cutting papers or designing charts. And I developed two hobbies at school — singing and calligraphy. I still enjoy singing Bollywood songs and practicing calligraphy whenever I get time.

How did Apeejay contribute to your personality and future goals?
Every teacher encouraged me to grow. They guided me with discipline and love. Whatever confidence I have today — it comes from my school.
