Vivek Tomar

Vivek was a unique boy, very different from his peer mates. Choices and perspectives seem unusual to conservative minds. He was bullied in school by his batchmates for being interested in Art and Craft, stitching and knitting. Vivek was often teased and labelled as a ‘Darji’ (a tailor) because as per the conservative minds, all these interests’ best suit and are meant for girls.

Hope I am not being adamant and too much self-centered. Is it ok to do things that you love doing as a career option?

All these questions were stirring this determined mind to take his final step towards his passion.
