Back in 2006, when my dad was planning to bring to papers his biggest dream which was to build a house which we could call "HOME", he couldn't trust anything else but UltraTech cement for his dream house.
I firmly believe that every challenge makes one stronger and heads on for the next one. The question is how can one become aware of one’s potential without testing yourself? That’s where a challenge surfaces, it tests you and prepares you for the impending ones. The biggest challenge that I have faced was on October 31st, 2014.
On 10th October, my father complained of inflammation on the left side of his chest and soon he was admitted in the hospital. I, being unaware of this whole situation dwelling around 1200 km apart was prepping to give my juniors their best freshers. All hell broke down when my family was informed about my father’s first heart attack. Doctors were losing time and thus after an affirmation from my family, they decided to go for the surgery. Luckily, the surgery was successful. I was informed the next morning. I could hardly contain myself but felt reassured as he was out of danger now. But tough times were awaiting. I visited my dad one week later, we all tried to give him the best care we could but fate had something else in its store. I was back to Delhi and it was the most auspicious festival of Diwali when my father took his last breath. No one could get a hang of what had happened. To a completely healthy body to heart surgery to the subsequent demise, it seemed that everything has fallen apart. My world was upside down, but I had to stay strong for my mother. No one suffered more than her. Having no idea of the monetary situation back then and government delay in the remuneration process, it was Aditya Birla Life Insurance that came to our rescue back then. My father's demise completely transformed me as a person. I became more focused, goal-oriented and in control of my life. I am currently studying at IIM Ranchi, and it was my father's belief in me when he sent me to the coveted Delhi University that I would make it big that drove me to where I am now.
