High point of your life?

One of the greatest high points in my life has been the publication of my novel. I proved to myself that I can achieve something in life which very few people have the courage to do. Lots of people have ideas and think of writing a novel but very few people actually buckle down and do it. I am proud to be one of the people who put his fears and apprehensions aside and published a book.

Low point of your life

The lowest point in my life was in the period of July to October 2016. I had quit my job to complete my studies. But things weren’t going well. I had thoughts of starting to work again but the offers were not coming. Things on the studies front were also dismal. I was not able to concentrate and I had failed my CA exams another time. To make things worse, I became physically unfit which affected my mental state and in turn also affected me physically. It was like a vicious circle of negativity. Things started looking a bit better when I finally got a job offer in November 2016. Now though things are not perfect, they seem to be headed towards a better place.
