Why Aditya Birla Group is big in your life.
“Hurry up! Call the ambulance” were the words that I could hear from people around me while groaning with severe chest pain on the evening of 1st of July. For a carefree and high-spirited girl right from her childhood, who would only think of cheerful days and happy endings, it was no less than a nightmare to wake up in a hospital, surrounded with nurses and syringes with a little idea of what’s happening with her. There stood the doctor, murmuring something into my parents’ ears made me even more anxious and here I was lying down on a bed, in a serious hospital environment, trying to eavesdrop to know how serious it was and when could I go home so that I could start packing my stuff to start a new life at IIM Ranchi. After going through all the possible tests at the hospital, there came the most awaited reports. I was continuously staring at the reports as if I had the powers of making changes to my fate. My sixth sense knew that some bad news would come out of it and hence I never wanted the doctor to open the file. And I was right. The final line of the report, written in dark black ink, in bold letters, read – “The patient is suffering with Tuberculosis and 2/3rdof her right lung is covered with fluid.”
This news changed my life in a split second. Everything was going wrong and I was emotionally, mentally and physically broken. Amidst this storm, the only thing that brought some calm to me and my family was the fact that I was medically insured with Aditya Birla Sun Life Health Insurance. These days, treatment in a private hospital can cost you in lakhs and can dig a deep hole in one’s pocket. Coming from an upper-middle class family, the fact that they would be able to provide best treatment to their daughter brought great support and help to my parents. During those 10 days at the hospital, fighting the pain and undergoing the treatment by the best doctors in the city, I was always wondering about the people who are not able to meet medical expenses and hence resort to local hospitals and eventually die because of lack of proper treatment. The treatment to me was provided with utmost care and all the amenities were given which made this difficult journey bearable.
There were things that brought rays of hope in my life at that time when everything was falling apart and financial help during the hard times was one of them. My family could concentrate on my health rather than worrying about the bill at the hospital that was in lakhs. This incident of my life changed me for good and made me stronger. I felt blessed and thankful to the decision of getting medically insured and today, all I want is to educate everyone about the importance of medical insurance in one’s life and what’s better than Aditya Birla Sun Life Health Insurance.
‘How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far’.
Storms don’t last forever!
Everyone has seen hardships in their lives, and everyone eventually comes out of it, later or sooner. The only question remains- are you a better and stronger person now or you lost your strength in the process? I have always been an ambitious person and I have always aspired to grow in my best capacity which brought me to the decision of pursuing MBA. This decision demanded my time and efforts for which I had to leave my job and sit at home and study for CAT. After contemplating about this decision for months, I finally took a step ahead and put my papers down. Though I was confident about my decision, yet, it is always scary to start something afresh. I left my job and appeared for CAT. It was tough to concentrate with full conviction because the fear of failure was always there. Soon came November and I took exam and failed horribly. As a result, I lost my calm and went into a mild depression state. My family helped me out to come out of it. I stayed strong throughout and channelized my energy in a positive way. I ensured that I keep myself motivated and surrounded with positive people. I never judged myself and was never hard on myself. That’s how I regained the confidence to sit for another CAT attempt and this time I made sure that fear of failure does not haunt me. Self-confidence and positive and full support from my friends and family helped me make it to where I am today, IIM Ranchi. One thing I realized in this life- Nobody will come and help you out, it is only you who can be your help today, tomorrow and always.
