Abhinav Kejriwal

I, Abhinav Kejriwal, am a former student of The Doon School, Dehradun. I graduated from in March 2015 and was admitted to schools like UCLA and Johns Hopkins for Fall 2016. However, I chose to drop College for a while, and not be a victim to what I’ve identified as an ongoing ‘College-Rush’ (extremely similar to the Gold Rush in California in 1848). Instead, I focused on finding my self, my true identity and thus, embarked on a journey to discover life through ‘Life University’ - an autodidactic omnivorous polymathic approach.

I paused to listen to my inner voice, and filter out the external voices which had creeped in my head very subtly. I felt Education is an organic process, and not a mechanical one.

I realized I must develop the hidden tools of life, which no Education System teaches; it is these unseen tools of life that prepare one for the Ultimate Journey of ‘Life University’. These tools may be labelled as ‘Soft Skills’ or ‘Life Skills’, but in actuality, they are a representation of Gestalt (A combined whole, which is more than the sum of its parts).
