—I migrated to Sydney, Australia, in December 1991 from India. In India, I was in a well-paid cozy job in the government sector. I was an electronics engineer by profession and was working as a manager in Kolkata, India. When I came to Sydney, there was deep recession, and I could not find a job. I enrolled myself in master’s in biomedical engineering in University of New South Wales (UNSW) on a part-time basis and was on government income support. I was working odd jobs, such as working in Woolworths Super Market and Automated Laundry and tutoring in universities to supplement my income from government support. It was a very tough time, and I managed it with great difficulty. Ultimately, I managed to get a job in biomedical engineering after two years. Those two years of life experience contributed a lot in my successful career. Subsequently, I moved to IT, and presently, I work as a business analyst in IT of Endeavour Energy.
