"My dad is a doctor. The only complain I've heard from people around me and relatives is that I am skinny and I definitely don't look like a doctor's daughter. Maybe people think it's necessary to be plump or over 60 kgs to be called healthy. I have always been insecure about it. But guess what? When I grew up I realized it's my super power. I eat a lot and am totally fit. I went through a ligament replacement surgery 2 years back and realized how important it is to accept your body. I'm an athlete and a Rugby player and the university Champion of my college for 2 consecutive times. It gets so hard for me to even tell people that I do play rugby which is a power sport. I guess I won't be able to thank  my parents  enough ever, for the extreme support they have had for me. Be it dance, sports, debate, or anything you can think of, they have supported me in every way. I have more than 130 awards and 60+ medals at home which my parents are very proud of.

 

 I have learnt to love my body. I have learnt that if you have your parents and amazing friends which I have, you can deal with anything you're going through. The only thing I want to do in life is to make my parents proud always. I want to continue my dance, rugby along with my after Engineering career. It took me 20 years to know that the most important kind of love is self love. I have definitely realized that I'm not too tiny to have a big impact." -Aayushi Das
