For me, studying at the University of Cambridge was always a dream. However, getting accepted and being offered a scholarship was more than I could have ever hoped for. My time at Cambridge has undoubtedly been the most exciting and inspiring year of my life.

Academically, I had the honour of being taught by the brightest minds in the field of law - some of the best professors and practitioners, each being experts in their own right. Not only did I get to learn during classes and seminars throughout the year, I also got the opportunity to represent the University at the various international events. There, I got the privilege of interacting with several distinguished judges, advocates, legal scholars and students like me from across the globe.

During the course of my degree, I came to realize that learning at Cambridge never stops and it is in no manner limited to the lecture halls. I have learnt from the highly intellectual peer group, from the numerous formal halls, with an eclectic mix of food and people from all around the world, and even from the enriching atmosphere that Cambridge affords.

All in all, my experience has truly been a holistic one. Not only has it helped me broaden my perspective and knowledge but has significantly increased the importance of sound education in my life. I graduated from Cambridge equipped not just with the right tools to achieve my career goals, but also with a defined personality.

And this has all been possible only because of the Prathiba M. Singh LLM Scholarship, the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust, Maninder Sir's unrelenting desire to help others and, most importantly, because of Prathiba Ma'am's vision of giving students like me the same opportunities that she received.
