What inspired you to study animation?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

It was not until that time in my life that I had to make a decision for my career, it was either engineering or joining my father\u2019s business. In desperate need of a miracle, I found animation. But I think my love for animation began since the time my parents bought me toys, I used to visualize those toys having duels. You can say that I was imagining something like “Toy Story”, but the toys were a part of the fight club. Watching numerous animated tv shows like Ben 10, Pink Panther, Courage the cowardly dog, etc., made the golden days of my life, I can\u2019t help but just get lost in those memories of the pure joy of watching those shows after school. I was and still am fascinated by mythical creatures, especially dragons. I used to browse Explorer on the old Windows XP computer for dragons and print them out, sketching over them with sketch pens. Whenever I was to draw something from my imagination, it was always dragons. My fascination with creatures carried over to VFX-heavy movies like the Jurassic Park series and even WB\u2019s Godzilla series, I was heavily influenced by how the studios managed to bring these creatures to life. Rewatching the making of these movies countless times made me interested in animation as a field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We live in a country dominated by engineers and doctors, was it a tough decision for you to get into animation? And are you satisfied so far with this decision?<\/h4>
\u00a0<\/div>

Before choosing animation as a career, I aspired to become an engineer and was preparing for the JEE exams. However, during my 11th grade, I observed my friends studying for 11-15 hours a day, which made me realize that engineering was not my cup of tea. However, leaving engineering meant that I had to choose an alternative, and I stumbled upon animation. It was a tough decision as no one in my family or relatives had any idea about this field. But my parents believed in me and supported me to pursue this career.<\/p>

I don\u2019t think I would have been able to enjoy it anywhere else, animation is a medium through which I can express my thoughts and emotions. What more could I ask for? I\u2019m more than satisfied with this decision.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Was it difficult to convince your parents for your decision to study animation?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

They were the ones who understood me before anyone else and had more faith in me than I had in myself. From the beginning, they taught me to follow my passion and to strive for mastery in whatever I do. Although they were uncertain about the potential of the animation field at first, they saw the massive growth of the industry and eventually came to support my decisions. Their love and support have brought me to where I am today, and I am grateful for everything they have done for me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
