Kunal's Quote in His Own Words:

“My biggest gain, which may be seen as a drawback, is my multiple sclerosis. Difficulty inspires me to live life more beautifully. Amidst tears, I learned so many languages and saw the world that carries my broken aspirations. Multiple Sclerosis motivated me to type my love on my phone with the tip of my nose. Yep,

I am using my nose to type these words; I don't know how I got used to it.”
