If everything is easy, you have to ensure that there is no scope for mistakes in excitement. If everything is difficult, it is important not to panic, or else you will lose focus."His mother has an M.Sc in mathematics, and his father studied physics. "Their knowledge in mathematics helped me understand the subject so well," said Aryan, adding that their support has been vital to him.
