They say materialistic things don’t fetch you happiness. True, but these materialistic things becomes a catalyst in making you happy by making memories and providing comfort. Aditya Birla Group has not only “cement”ed its position in Indian multinational conglomerate, but also became a part of lifestyle and memories from elite class to common man.
I still remember that smile on my father’s face when I gifted him his favourite green check shirt from “Peter England”. I still remember that first crush period when she could not stop gushing over her obsession with “People’s.” I still remember that feeling of relief when I had to buy a formal shirt in a limited budget after”Pantaloons” came to my rescue. My wardrobe was never short of varieties of colored check shirts from “Allen Solley” and “Van Huesen.”
I am lucky to born and brought up in an era when school kids rely on their tiffins rather than canteens and cafeterias for lunch. My mother used to give me roti with my pickle or poori wrapped in an aluminium foil by “Hindalco.” I witnessed those sharing lunch moments, thanks to Hindalco.
In 1995, I shifted to my new home. I was too small to know anything but my parents told me that “Birla Cement” is best in the business and it came no surprise to me that the foundation of my home witnessed Birla Cement.
I have also witnessed that era when there were no smartphones. I had only Nokia phone with limited number of options. I had “Idea” connection at that time and it was much affordable as compared to Airtel. I still remember messaging my friends non stop with Idea’s message pack.
Whether I look back or look forward, Aditya Birla Group never fails to put a smile on my face as well as on my pocket..!!!
“Challenges- a rope that tightens you with experiences”- Gautam Seth, IIM Trichy
“Life without challenge is a tree without leaves.” When I was born , my anus was blocked. There was no way through where my body waste could pass. With little disoriented leg, it only added to the difficulties. At last I had to be operated for both of the problems and from there began my journey. With each day, my internal insecurities took a toll on my school life, social life and my psychology. The ambition of becoming independent started fading away from my mind as I lost all hopes. But, thankfully my family and some of my earned genuine friends were the enablers in my life, who stood by me despite me giving up the hope to lead a normal life. My family ensured proper amneties and showed constant patience towards my healing process.Also , my friendswho i consider them as my extended family always dealt my sensitive and difficult nature with patience and warmth. With support from both the sides, i value life and relationships,delivering my part optimistically and pursue my dream. Today I lead a normal life, socializing with different people, travel without any resistance and most importantly made a first step towards my dream by studying in one of the premier B- schools of India, IIM Trichy!
