My first career breakthrough

Hello! Welcome to my blog.

I was a bit skeptical about writing blogs on my website. I didn't know what I could write about or where I could begin. Eventually ideas started pouring in and here I am with my very first blog.

I have had a creative streak since childhood. I have immersed myself in doing different art forms from painting to craft, even tried my hands at henna designs for fun.

Due to my inclination towards creative patterns, designs and structures, I was keen on getting into Architecture. I followed the path by choosing the Science stream and taking up subjects like Physics and Maths for my higher secondary certificate. Life had a different adventure planned for me, so I couldn't get into Architecture. I studied and graduated as an Interior Designer which seemed like a new chapter in my life.

I worked as an Interior Designer for a couple years and was introduced to Animation and VFX eventually. I was always curious about cartoons and animation, wondering how special effects were created in movies. Once I entered this fascinating world, I realized I had found the spark that lit my soul instantly. I excitedly followed this new curve in the path of my life and joined Reliance MediaWorks in 2010. I realized I had a lot to learn. The journey had only begun.

I charged ahead armed with enthusiasm, my thirst for knowledge, my willingness and determination to learn. My first career breakthrough happened while I burned the midnight oil trying to reach deadlines and meeting schedules. It happened while finding a method through the madness I was engulfed in. The hard work I had put in was recognized by the heads of my department, when they moved me up the ladder as a VFX Artist within 3 months of joining the team. I knew I had come out with with flying colors, when I held my confirmation letter in my hand. As I recollect about how far I have reached today from where I began, I have only words of gratitude for those who stood by me, encouraging me to take small but meaningful steps, to reach where I am.

I'll never forget this experience, no matter where I am or what I do. In many ways, my first career breakthrough has changed my life for good.
