My biggest challenge
I was a strong-headed person during my school time and during an altercation with some bullies, I got beat up by 10-15 guys, while I was trying to help my friend, what shocked & hurt me the most was nobody came to help me. This incident changed my perspective on life and I became more reserved, independent and got into a shell of my own associating with people only when it was needed and found comfort in being alone. This behavior of mine continued until I stayed in a hostel while pursuing my graduation in engineering. During this time period, my outlook towards life started changing and I realized I could not stay the way I was and I needed to change and become approachable and outward in my behavior. It was not an easy process, and it did take me some time to change as a person. I started mingling with people, asking people for help, being empathetic towards others problems and sympathetic towards their feelings. Initially, it was forced but gradually I started enjoying the process and it sort of became like the most important challenge in my life, which I had to overcome and come out on top. As such shyness was never a problem, but being social was and having consciously worked on improving it, I am proud to say that I have finally overcome my challenge and in the current 1st year batch of IIFT which I am a part of, I have interacted on a personal level and formed a good friendship with most of the mine peers.
