This was the most thrilling moment of my life! He gave me a signed copy of a poem. On his computer, he also showed me the missile he had worked on. He was gently humorous and very inspiring. Meeting him was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I’m so glad I received that chance”. She was one among the 100 Change Agents and Newsmakers of the decade by Deccan Chronicle.
