𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞!

I’m Reshmi,i am thrilled to have you here on mindkrafte and my journey through the world of medical education has been anything but ordinary with unexpected twists and turns. My story begins with a simple dream—to become a doctor and make a difference in the world of healthcare. But as anyone who’s ventured into this field knows, the path isn’t always straightforward.

From outside my path seem like a classic tale of determination, but let me assure you its much more intricate.Back in 11th and 12th grade, I chose to study Biology with Mathematics, a combination that’s as common as it is dreaded by aspiring medical students. Let’s be honest, Maths is like that nightmare that keeps coming back to haunt you, though there are always a few brave souls who somehow claim to enjoy it(i still wonder how!). My Maths teacher sensing my so called overconfidence warned my parents that I might end up failing, especially since I wasn’t attending extra coaching classes. To be fair my confidence was my armor.I held onto my confidence, and while my marks weren't exceptional, they were good enough for someone who was deemed as having no hope in the subject.

Just like many of you, I had my fair share of  distractions and obstacles along the way. I’m far from perfect- none of us are. But I’ve learned that striving to improve and sharing those lessons is what truly matters. Many people around me didn’t believe in my potential and the challenges I faced as signs of failure or wasted time, but they didn’t know the full extent of story. I’ve always been an introvert, and the reality of my struggles was something I kept to myself. From their perspective, my path seemed overly easy, but only those walking the path truly understand the hurdles and sacrifices involved.

When I didn’t secure an MBBS seat, the criticism intensified. People labeled me as overconfident and even questioned my dedication, claiming I was wasting my time. People believed i was making excuses and i wasn't genuinely studying and thought i was just spinning stories about my efforts. They said I had lost three precious years. Yet, I believed that some things take time, and every setback was a stepping stone to my true path.The journey of self discovery and growth is rarely immediate, it requires patience and resilience. I know that there are many societal pressure due to the age of girl for being married at the age of 23 that too when your just pursuing your passion and for a boy for getting a job that too when others of your age is getting higly paid. Its okay to take your time and pursue what truly matter for you.

Some people thought i was just putting on a brave face and creating a scene. They even suggested that I was regretting not securing an MBBS seat, but i knew who i was. Nothing is entirely in our control, everything is already decided to some extent and i believe that god gives the best to each of us. What's important is to trust the process and remain positive knowing that there is a reason behind every twist and turn in our journey.

Today, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and have proven that persistence pays off and can turn setbacks into stepping stones. Despite the ongoing challenges, I am making strides in my field, engaging in research, and continually working towards my goals. I have proven that confidence and hardwork can lead to success.still i face ups and downs and there are nights when i cry questioning whether i am on the right path. But every morning i see as a new opportunity to show my courage and continue moving forward.

 My journey has taught me that how tough the things may get, you should keep moving forward and make most of every opportuniy. Biggest lesson i have learnt is that self doubt is the biggest barrier to success. If you doubt youserself you're more likely to give up. If you fall down get back up and keep going. It doesn't matter who is first. What matters is that you give your best.

I am not a Miss.Perfect giving out advices from a pedestal. I am just a girl who's been through this and found her way through sheer determination and confidence. I am here to remind you that you are not alone.Know that there are many others who understand and share your struggles.

MindKrafte is a more than a blog.It is born from this very journey—a blend of resilience, personal growth, and a commitment to making the most out of every challenge. This blog is more than just a collection of study tips and resources; it’s a space where I share my experiences and insights, hoping to inspire and support those who are on a similar path. Whether you’re struggling with the demands of medical studies, dealing with setbacks, or simply seeking motivation, I’m here to show you that belief in oneself is crucial, perseverance and confidence can lead you to success, even when it seems like no one else believes in you. I know first hand how easy it is to feel like you are alone in your struggles. Its all too common to feel misunderstood or judged  when other's don't see the full picture of what you are going through. Remember no matter what others say~your path is uniquely yours.
