Anagha Deshpande, Mother of Ashwin Deshpande, IIT Aspirant,
Pune
“Ashwin had decided quite early in life to pursue
engineering. He has had a liking for core subjects like Mechanical. He wants to
pursue advanced research in the same field”, said Anagha Despande.
About the choice of his career, Anagha said, “As a parent, I have always supported his choice. Rather than burdening him with my wishes, I have provided him the freedom to pursue his dream.”
Ashwin’s preparation days have been a rigorous exercise for
his parents too. The Deshpande’s reside in Pune. Ashwin decided to prepare in
Pune itself. He made this choice as it would allow him to dedicate time
properly without worrying about accommodation, food etc.
Anagha said, “He
recently suffered a bout of Dengue, which had us worried.” However, after a
month of recuperating, Ashwin is back to his routine trying to cover the time
lost. Anagha, proudly said, “I feel happy about how he is fighting back to
cover the syllabus to achieve his dream.”
