"When I decided to explore things beyond my high school curriculum, I was lost in a world which tried its best to not welcome me. Behes did not just train me in the specifics of public speaking but also helped me get the right resources to keep exploring my newly found world. From winning debates in places like Patna and Delhi to achieving new heights at Yale University, the lessons and the people stayed with me, always.""

When I firstly entered the conference room of IPS, I was very confident of my debating skills. But, after the first debate, where I couldn't even continue for 1 minutes, I realised parliamentary debating is something I have to really learn.
