I was an average student in school scoring 50% in all years. For the first time, I scored first class in my 10th board exams my parents and my friends were really happy.

Being an average student does not disqualify you from achieving any goals

I use to watch share market movements and read annual report of companies during my school days which develop my interest and accounts and audit

My father wanted me to become an engineer but I love different kinds of numbers which are accounts and taxation. So I convince him that I want to do commerce and CA

Chose career option based on your likes not based on the likes of others and convince your parents.

At age of 18, I lost my father. The last lesson I learnt from him was to complete any professional degree post graduation so you have financial security

At age of 21, in the Mumbai terror bomb blast, my spinal cord got injured and I become permanently disable and dependent on a Wheelchair. It took six months to get out of bed and start using a wheelchair to set for 2 to 3 hours

After physiotherapy for almost 2 years, I was able to sit for more than 6 to 8 hours. At that time I decided to continue with my CA final exams which were pending

I did my classes for foundation and intern exam. Most of the classes were not wheelchair accessible So I was wondering how without classes I will able to give my CA final exams.

Slowly, I started self learning and I realise this is the best way to study for any professional exams. The biggest learning was classes are not necessary for clearing CA Final

I set a target to give one group at a time because I was able to sit for only 8 to 10 hours.

You should always keep a realistic target based on your circumstances.

I cleared group wise both group exams in 2009. This was the day which was a turning point in my life when I had a professional qualification, which I dreamt of before being a victim of the terror blast.

For students who fail to clear CA exams ask one question to yourself, why you want to become CA?

Secondly, students should remove all the disruption and just have one quality which is focus, focus and only focus.

Yeah, if you have a strong desire and willingness, coupled with determination, you can clear CA
