“मै मुंबई में कभी भी काम नहीं करना चाहता था, लेकिन मुझे अर्बन टास्क के लिए मुंबई ही मिला, मन तो नहीं था लेकिन मैंने एक्सेप्ट कर लिया, जहाँ का रहनसहन मुझे बिलकुल भी पसंद नहीं हे वहां में आज दो महीने में ख़ुशी से रह पाया हु… मेरे लिए सबसे imp बात हे। इसके पीछे बहुत कारन भी हे, जैसे की जैसे आये हे काम पे लगे हे। पहिला महीना तो ये सोचने के लिए भी टाइम नहीं था की मेरी नापसंद जगह पे में रह रहा हु। पता नहीं था क्या कर रहे थे, सिर्फ काम करते रहते थे।”

“शुरुवाती के दौर मे मै किसी कॉल करने मे या किसी से बातचित करने में डरता था। मुझे अच्छी इंग्लिश नही आती यह सोचकर पिछे रहता था। पर इस बात को मैने बदला। मै लोगो से बात करने लगा। पहले तो डर लगता था। पर बाद में काफी सारा बदलाव आया। अब मै अच्छा कम्युनिकेशन कर सकता हू। डर ने से बेहतर है आप बात करो। गलती होगी पर आप सिख जावोगे यही मैने इस दो महिनो मे सिखा।”
