One of Linden Kemkaran's favorite quotations reads, "When one door closes, another one opens." After Linden suffered a debilitating motorbike crash at the age of 24, it took her months of heavy rehabilitation for her to recover from her injuries. While in recovery, Linden realised fully that her life was not a dress rehearsal for some larger production.

At the time of the accident, Kemkaran was a personal secretary to the Assistant Chief of Defense Staff for Command Control and Communications Information Systems. Following her accident and subsequent rehabilitation at Headley Court military rehabilitation centre, Linden Kemkaran made the decision to go to University and pursue her goals—and she hasn't looked back.
