Believing in oneself is the best thing one could do to grow in life. Once you start believing in yourself, there is no going back. Dr. Menka Mishra, Ph.D. in music did exactly the same when she saw the dream of becoming a playback singer. Little did she knew that one day her dreams would bring her immense fame and attention.
