Inspiration can come from anywhere, from any corner of the world. One such beacon of inspiration is a 12-year-old who, despite the struggles in his life, is dedicated to achieving his dreams. The young man we are talking about is Nagaraj, a boy from the slums of Bangalore with big dreams and a fierce passion for life. 

Recently, a video was posted on Instagram by a social worker and content creator Mohamd Ashik, who interviewed Nagaraj and talked about his dream job and goals in life. In his post, Ashik wrote, "I met a 12-year-old kid named Nagaraj who aspires to become an lAS officer. He lives in the slums of Bangalore and is currently studying in 6th grade. Nagaraj’s hobby is reading books by Dr. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi, and he wants to learn more about our country’s freedom fighters. His ambition is to build a house, help struggling people around him, and offer food to the starving. Be Inspired."

Ashik asks him if he is happy in his current house or would he wants to live in a big house, Nagaraj says, "Yes, Happy, I thought but it will come after I grow up, when I get a job." This reflects the maturity and optimism Nagaraj has.
