With his many colours, it’s also worth noting how he represents the poor and needy. Any form of assistance is required, and Gaurav is the first to reply whenever contacted. He recently participated in a ‘tea seva’ push with a non-profit organisation. We all know how cold winters can be, so on one particularly frigid night, Gaurav and a group of volunteers from the NGO went out to distribute tea and cookies to individuals freezing on the sidewalks and along the roadside. It was such a thoughtful gesture. Gaurav encourages learning by hosting a variety of courses and book reading sessions. He supports budding writers and gives them a forum to follow their dreams. He is the busiest person in the room, but he still has time for you. Everyone and everything. He has that never say ‘no’ attitude, from doing “tea seva” to assisting acid attack victim survivors by walking the fashion runway, from being the brand ambassador of cuddling, an initiative for children suffering from cancer, to promoting art and culture in the city. Though he, like everyone else, only has 24 hours in a day, he knows how to make the most of it. In any given situation, he pursues his dreams and aspirations while also performing his daily responsibilities.
