My startup idea • Handball team • Enactus • Basically every new initiative that I took during my college life.

On the Bright Side
Leaps of Faith

Short film shooting • Taking at least 1 big initiative every year • regularity in posting writeups
Things I'm Proud of That You Won't See on a Resume
Most of the times, I am unappreciated for my efforts & I haven't complained any day. I believe that the output as a team should be up to the mark.
Unconventional Skills
Writing poems • creating audiostories • building communities
Quirks That Make Me Who I Am
Ability to express my feelings on paper without mentioning that its mine
Books I've Read For Fun
The secret • Let's Build A Company • Engineering Books? 😂
Things I've Learned That Will Still Matter in 10 Years
People are temporary, it's you who have to work your ass off for yourself.
Failures That Seemed Like the End of the World Back Then But Don't Matter in Hindsight
Breakup • Restarting Enactus • Failing interview for the post of OC at E-Cell
Noteworthy
Arjav's style of learning has always been to eliminate things. He tries everything that fascinates him & then continue it only if he likes it (which rarely happens :p)
