From a Dhaba to a PhD: A Quiet Transformation

One of my very close students. He was in a dhaba for 4 years. He didn't even go home. He was very angry. He was heavy in smoking. And he said, what a wonderful man. You look at him the way he dresses up. He recites poems and the confidence. The way he carries himself. He does good physical exercise. He is in IIT today. One of the IITs. I'll not name which IIT. But he has a PhD. And he has got his own drone lab. And he is absolutely non-smoker. I love that guy. If I wasn't doing anything, I would have kept it with me. Sometimes I feel like leaving it with me.
