BANGALORE, India - Nov. 14, 2016 - PRLog -- Are grades everything? Is it fair to predict a youngster's future plainly based on some numbers? There's more to life than textbooks, and My Unskooled Year chronicles just that.

The book is a  journey through the eyes of Sagarikka Sivakumar, an average student, who goes beyond conventions. After her tenth standard, she ventures into a road less taken. Just 15 years old, she takes a year off and invests in stocks, interns with the hospitality sector, goes door to door - selling products, hikes across mountains, films documentaries, and studies, too. The book is not just about the tale of Sagarikka but also about the thoughts  of her  parents in the form of "Note from Parents". The book is a reflection of our inner minds, which secretly aspires to do what Sagarikka does but is afraid of conventions. It is a trail blazer, charting the map for more to follow, breaking away from the snare of grades and scores. Garb your copy today – My Unskooled Year.

Sagarikka is the daughter of Savitri and Sivakumar, who run Trichy Plus in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, an institute that provides coaching for competitive exams, consultancy for education abroad and soft skills training. She discovered her passion for acting when her team won an interschool theatre competition, conducted by Alchemy Theatre for Kids, Chennai. Also the winner of a district-level 'rangoli' competition, Western dance competitions and a few school-level oratory contests, Sagarikka  feels that her biggest achievement was winning the title of 'Miss RYLA 2013' (Rotary Youth Leadership Award – District 3000).

During her break from school for a year, she unearthed various latent talents and interests. She donned the hats of a trekker, blogger, documentary filmmaker, investor, App developer and avid reader with ease. She also uncovered her passion for playing the violin and singing.

Sagarikka is now learning Maths and Science with great zeal. She believes that students should concentrate on concepts and enjoy the process of learning rather than aiming at scoring more marks.

She has no plans for the future as she wants to live in the moment and further her interests in – robotics, Mathematics, Science, writing, politics, business, investing, oration, app development, fitness training, digital marketing, organic farming, mountaineering and film direction/production.
