Pride of the Past; An Incentive for the Future

I am Rishikeshav Ragavan from the Automobile Department. I was born in the Kingdom of Bahrain and brought up over there. My hobbies are learning about cars, bikes, and planes on YouTube and other platforms. I also research and try to find out the reason for various Flight Crashes. I love speaking a lot and I am a competent gavelier. I am happy to be a part of KCT. I like KCT for many reasons including the vibrant atmosphere and my HOD Sivakumar sir. I admire the motto of our college “Character is Life”. My achievement in the past are: I have received two best speaker awards and one special mention in the Model United Nations, and also was awarded 2nd  place in the BSIC Young Scientist. I have also participated in various speech contests. I hold Black Belt in Karate. I am happy to share that I have given a non-stop 5-hours motivational speech which was live on YouTube and I secured a place in the India Book of Records and International Book of Records.

I am happy and eagerly waiting to see more success and also learn from failures in Life. I also have a YouTube channel called Rishikeshav Ragavan. According to me, it does not matter what we do but it only matters how and when we do it.

As a student, many may want to do achieve something in life. A record was definitely something for me when I was much younger. I would say that the person behind this success is my SISTER. She wanted me to do a record and then I got the idea of trying it out too. So, I, as a speaker decided to do something about that and that’s how the Motivational Speech started. The world needs the motivation to move on. No matter what we do in life we have been motivated in all forms. From our birth till our death, I took a small concept and then spoke. The very first question you might get will be “Did you write it down and speak ?” The answer will be NO. I love to speak on point and because of that, I could complete this record. I would always say, “If you can do something in life, just do it and don’t see the Success and Failure behind it.” Live this Life happily and don’t see the Success and Failure because all you want will come to you and don’t cry for it. There will be times when you feel low. Yes, even I have those times so just live your life for yourself but not for others. I wish to motivate others and I also have many dreams but my Aim is that I don’t want to be known as Just Rishikeshav Ragavan. I want to be known as Rishikeshav Ragavan with pride.
