Why am I interested in media and publishing field? This is the question which has been asked to me by many people including my near and dear ones. Well to tell you frankly, I DONT KNOW! But I can understand everyone wondering as I am in computer engineering course which is 4 years long and to join that course, I myself had taken the decision. So people may wonder why did he take admission in computer engineering while if he was so interested in Media and publication business.

Well the story began a long ago when I was studying in a school named "Shraddha Vidya Mandir". I think at the scholl leve, I was intersted in science and engineering with the abilities or we can say a strong inside desire of taking leadership of any thing happenig arround me in my school. I was class representetive since I was in the first standard.

But I realised that I was not clear about what I wanted as I wanted everything! I wanted to go to the space by becoming an astronout. But I found out that it was not possible for me as my height was not enough. At that time I realised that if I had enough money, I can buy any space ship and make them to take me to the space! So I thought I can fulfill my all desires if and only if I have enough money. At that stage, I had only two options:

1. Accept the fate and be satisfied with whatever I had

2. Try to change the system and atleast try such a way that I can earn a lot money in future.

But, mind it, I was not money oriented. I did not know how tough is to earn money but I just decided that I had to earn good money with nice reputation. As I was also used to be a first ranker in my school, I had very good impression all around and I didnt want it to get spoiled. So reputation was also as important.

At that time I was making great career dreams. One thing was sure: I cannot do a job as I am used to the power I got in my school as class representative throughout 7 years. ( I was CR upto my 10 th standard).

So had to do something different which can lead me to money making machine with reputation.

I am not sure when I decided to go into media stream, but I beilive a Gujarati magazine named "SAFARI" inspired me to do so. This magazine is all about general knowledge, history, science, environment plus many more. I was very much inspired by this magazine. I have been reading this magazine for quite a long time and this was the magazine due to which I was very much interested in science and technology. But after changing my priorities towards money, I started looking this magazine differently. I was too much interested in increasing the circulation of this magazine and I wanted each one of mine friends to read this magazine so that they can also have some good knowledge like me. The main motto was to share mine knowledge with them and have good discussion. I wanted someone who have same or more knowledge than me. So it was needed to spread this magazine. So here came the most interesting turn of my life. During mine 9th standard, I had started thinking to increase the circulation of this magazine. I got many IDEAS at that time. But as I dont know SAFARI owners, I wasnt able to do anything and I also didnt know how to sell ideas as I also had plans to earn money from these ideas.

Sometime later I will write how I managed to do it.... till than good night..
