Sevanjali is my ‘Silver Line’ and KK Punja is my ‘Godfather’!. I will explain why. I was supposed to be A/c mechanic or A/c repairer. This was supposed to be my destiny. But no I did not become a mechanic but became a Software engineer working in a Multi National Company. And I know exactly how I became one. I never aim to be a engineer because i never thought its in my reach. I topped in high school and my brother suggested its waste of doing PUC, instead i can do ITA(Industrial Training) like A/c mechanic and within two years i can start earning to support family. He was logical for saying so as the bread winners of our home were not in a situation to send me to PUC although it was only 6000 rupees yearly fee back then! It was a holiday for a month before the ITA starts so I joined at Hotel as server/cleaner in Bantwal. Like I said, KK Punja found out that I was the topper in high school asked me to meet him in person. I went to him and he asked me if I want to learn more. I never looked back since then. He talked to the Thumbay college trustee and reduced the fee for me also paying the rest of the amount through Sevanjali. I completed my PUC and then he suggested the best career path i could take, which is engineering also helped me to join in one of the best college back then. It’s Malnad college of Engineering. All of my yearly fees, daily expenses,books,accomodation,food etc were all taken care by the trust. I got campus selected in my third year to TCS, switched to Oracle and currently working in BT. Looking back at my journey so far I contemplate myself that, without Sevanjali, Without KK Punja, i wouldnt be in a position where i am now. Whatever success i am in now, is nothing but the success of Sevanjali. Success of this one man who could see that i could do it. This is my Cinderella story of how this trust helped to become what I am now. So it is not exaggeration when I call this trust as my Silver line and for KK Punja as my Godfather.
