When I realised the importance for being in the process, the present and not having to run behind results

Winning is everything for me. It gets me the confidence that yes I have it in me. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and most importantly it motivates me to work harder to achieve more. It helps me to b in competition with myself to keep becoming better at what I do. All golfers work so hard not only to be best amongst those fields but also to get recognition for what they are doing.

Recognition for me is extremely important. I work all year round for my hard work to be appreciated, for my work to be recognised. After having won the Player of the Year at the Golfing Indian, Take Solutions India Golf Awards I felt relieved that yes all year round I worked hard to win this award and I have achieved it. My hard work did pay off. With recognition comes great responsibility. People know you, they comes and ask for tips, help and I love it. The feeling of helping someone achieve their goals in your little way is awesome.

I would say the turning point in my life is the year 2013. Even after having a great year with golf I was extremely frustrated as I was not playing to my capability. It is then when I realised the importance for being in the process, the present and not having to run behind results. That year made me mentally very strong in all aspects of life.

Mom dad are my world! They have always stood by me in every decision I have made in life. Always supported me from the back and never interfered with my golf. They have always let me do what I wanted and never forced me into anything. It’s from them that I get my confidence and mental strength. It is their hard work and continuos belief in my that keep me going. I feel all parents should be like them as most parents now a days get too involved and too ambitious in their child’s future and hence put lots of pressure on the child.

I am ever so grateful to WGAI for having giving me a platform to showcase my talent and being the first crucial step of my career. They are supporting women’s golf in a great way! Showing us how to take our careers forward.

A lot of playing abroad. Lots of travelling. Lowering down my world ranking is my goal this year besides being number 1 in india. Getting my European tour card along with winning the Indian open.
