Talking about the journey in his life, Sreenivasulu says that he was not happy with the Computer Science course. He continued his hobby alongside his studies and in 2007 he started making a model of the Eiffel tower from the cast-off pen refills. It took him eight months to complete the model. He presented it to his college management who were so appreciative that he was asked to take it to all the classes and explain to them about the art.
