"It was a big deal to go and be an engineer in an offshore oil and gas rig in my early 20s and I did face some opposition from friends, family wondering what it was I was gonna be doing there. As we have in South Asia and Southeast Asia, we have closed-knit families and friend circles and lots of well wishers and I don’t ever remember having seen that attitude from either of my parents, and, in fact, my mom was my biggest champion. She was like “Of course, you must go and try this if that’s what you want to”. So that was a motto that I grew up with. If you have to try something, just be your best self. Wanna try something, go ahead, try it. There’s no such thing as failure" - Tulika Raj
