As said by my father in his native language and I translate, “Connections are very essential in your life son, if you want to spend time with anyone, spend it wisely. Be it on the roadside or in a coffee shop, your friends will define you and they are going to influence you in many ways.” I kept that on my mind and my future goal is also related with the connection…
