My pitashri (respected father) would always says 'koi bura bhi kare to uska bhala kardo.' (Even if someone is bad, be good to them)

I am currently pursuing final year of Chartered Accountancy course.

When I was dealing with repetitive failures in my exam, I used to often get agitated with my parents.

My father's advice to me was: 'Be a good human being. Never ever forget your humanity in the heat of the moment.'

Today, I follow his advice and don't bother so much about career or money. I just try to be generous and righteous with everybody.
