• Define true beauty.

As the old saying says, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty extends far beyond physical form, diving more into a person’s personality and soul.

Holiday is just an excuse to escape our daily lives. Every holiday has to be a new adventurous trip to learn and experience new culture.

• If you were selected as a Charity Ambassador what Value addition would you like to make for our Society and how?

My main motive is to inspire people to take on charity. The joy it brings and the impact it has is something most people are not aware of.

I want to make a larger presence with the help of social media and technology to increase the geographical range.
