Ashish Addressing people about his cause

But somehow it started with kids. Later on I realized
everything is planned.
BV: Since how long you had been working for various causes?
Ashish: Since my school days I had been working for enumerable noble causes.
BV: What made a techno person quit his job and start working for a social cause?
Ashish: I met a kid who was a drug-addict at a tender age of 9. I helped him in rehabilitate followed by rescuing 8 more kids.
The only question I asked myself was how could we be happy if the children of India are not able to lead a happy life? This made me quit my job as I thought to work for this cause.
