Hello Friends, Bonjour 🎉 It's Amit Asha Anand, based in Navi Mumbai. I'm A Bipolar IIT Madras Alumnus turned Poet, Writer, Storyteller, Learner, Mentor, and Solo Backpacker by Serendipity 🌻🍁❤️ I got diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder - Type 1 in 2003. It's been managed by Psychiatric Medicines and Psychotherapy. My mental illness has a Silver Lining. It has accelerated my " Curiosity, Creativity, Imagination and ideation. " Even though I faced challenges because of mental health, I could complete my Undergraduate Degree in Electronics Engineering with First Class, Cracked GATE Exam and made it to IIT Madras for M.Tech in Communication Systems. After my M.Tech, I could not have a Normal Career. There were a couple of Career Breaks due to Depression or Mania. So, I don't know whether Bipolar Disorder is a Curse or a Blessing for me, But it has allowed me to experience some extraordinary incidences in my life. Carpe Diem, ❤️ Amit https://www.linkedin.com/in/amitbagade0
