An IDEA that changed me,
I was an idea user and the way idea as a brand was promoted, helped me shift my perspective from using internet to making it a medium for raising my voice, a platform for placing my questions, a platform for addressing my curiosity. The idea shifted the preview of internet from being an idea well to information channel. As a youngster knowing that you have choices is a empowering feeling and not just to me but the entire age bracket of mine even the people from different generation were able to understand that internet is the next big thing. Be it demanding justice addressing inequality or just connecting with people from different social economic background. India as a country was changing and idea as a brand was guiding. It’s the brand connect that the people still remember. I personally was always moved by the messages conveyed by the brand. I remembered this one incident, there was this one time when using internet was constrained to sending important messages and gathering relevant information for the assignments but the virtues of the internet were all brought to me by the idea and I started questioning and I started to look for the answer using the idea internet. now that I have started checking things It helped me change my perspective towards various things have changed and moulded my mentality into the person I am today.
Overcoming the Adversities
You don’t realise how strong you are till you are faced with an adversity for me, my moment of self-appreciation came during my 10th grades it was boards and a very stressful time and I was focused trying to score good marks. Tackling one paper after another, right after my maths paper I came back home contemplating my strategy for the next paper. Usually my parents and elder sister were not at home. but that day I found them at home. My father complained of having a light heart ache and went to see the doctor my sister accompanied him. After a few hours when I was just starting with my revisions I got the call informing me of my father’s deteriorating condition what first thought of as a heart ache has turned into a heart attack. I at that time had heard of heart attack they were still a distant condition to me. It was at that moment I had to decide if I wanted to reduce that distance. I knew once I started on the way I would never be able to come back to my being before my papers. I had to wear the face make a decision and so I did. I created two realities and compartmentalized my father’s health condition and my exams handled them both. It was then I realised I’m not the one that breaks as I got to know my self a little better I started being grateful for everything around me that was not distorted in one way or the other.
