“I turned two today and already started to feel the pressure of this world. With all the talks at home to get me into school. Hmm, the pressure is real and me ‘nanhi si jaan'. My father Sivesh Kumar's friend Praveen Kumar Rajbhar always says that ‘Network is Networth’, so I am here to network which will help me (to start with) get into a good pre-school. And further will take one step at a time. I am trying to stay away from Social Media ( as nobody gives me the phone at home), but still for my career will try to log in once a week. Looking for all the help,” reads the post shared on the toddler's LinkedIn profile.
