"For me, it was their light. When everything around me is dark, their light (the stars) comes and it always inspires me to know more about them."

"A scientist must have a sense of honesty to be the best one. I am very much inspired by a great physicist and chemist Marie Curie, because she had the ability to preserve light even in the difficult situations that she faced."

"First I used to think that the sun always stays in one place and other planets revolve around it. So then I got to know that the sun too revolves around Milky Way with the other planets revolving around it. This inspired me that the space is vast, I need to know about it and I can explore it."

"The reason for my interest in space and astronomy is Einstein's relativity theory. I get really fascinated when I try to imagine why the universe works in the way it does. I want to understand and learn more about space and universe, and that's what inspires me."

"My first inspiration about space came from reading the famous quote of Carl Sagan 'Look again at that dot...' (He compared Earth to a pale blue dot). Whenever I feel low, I used to gaze at the night sky with its glittering stars. I would just imagine how small I am and how small my problems are compared to the wonderful infinite cosmos."
