Nagpur Today: How would you react to be topper in Vidarbha?
Aditya: “Mai saatwe aasmaan par hu”. I am so happy and satisfied that I have met my parents’ expectations.
Nagpur Today: What was your first reaction; did u expect this achievement?
Aditya: I was sure that I will make a place in top ten but couldn’t believe after seeing the results that I have topped Vidarbha.
Nagpur Today: How did you prepare for your exams? How many hours of study did you put in everyday?
Aditya: I prepared monthly timetable and followed it strictly. I used to study around 10 to 12 hours daily. I used to take small breaks in between. I never studied after 10 pm and used to wake up at 6 am for studies. I believe in “Early to bed and early to rise makes man healthy, wealthy and wise.” So today I am wiser.
Nagpur Today: What did you do for relaxation and refreshing your mind?
Aditya: I take break between my studies and watch TV for some time. I also go for movie with my friends once in a while to release the tension and pressure of study.
Nagpur Today: What is your dream?
Aditya: I want to become a doctor and a nice human being. My dream is to become an independent and want to fulfill my parents’ expectations.
Nagpur Today: Who were the people who played vital role in your success?
Aditya: I am thankful to my parents, my elder brother Bhushan and my tuition teacher Wankhede Madam for their encouragement and valuable support. My parents supported and encouraged me at every point. Being a medical student himself, my elder brother guided me a lot. I can’t forget to mention Wankhede Madam’s contribution in my success.
Nagpur Today: Did tuitions play a role in your success?
Aditya: I think tuitions played role in my success. The guidance which I got from my tuition teacher Wankhede Madam helped me a lot. I believe that one needs proper directions for study and you get that in tuition classes but I believe students should not shuffle between different tuition classes rather they should do classes from only one institute. Self study is equally important.
Nagpur Today: Who is your role model?
Aditya: My parents are my Role Model.
Nagpur Today: What is your Success Mantra?
Aditya: Focus on goal, dedication and strict timetable is my success mantra.
