The sense of confidence that I feel putting on an LP attire is something that I connect with the times I have needed that confidence to fight the toughest of times. Like the time, I was struggling to find my self worth around people getting placed in the final year of under graduation. When you have beliefs of hundreds of people behind you, who expect a certain something from you, not being able to live upto it becomes a very daunting situation. On top of that, when I saw people I least expected to make it through, rising and making a place for themselves, a sense of doubt encircled me, hitting me on my confidence.
Those were times when I was left alone and all I could think of was how I had gone from being on everyone’s mind to no one even being bothered about me. Day in day out, I was putting myself out there for people to judge and decide if I was a right fit. As people told me, “I was trying too hard” I found myself on a day when I stopped trying. It was after I had a conversation with my father one night, when he told me that no one could decide what I was worth and what I was capable of in a 20-minute interview. I was once again in awe of his personality and style just like that 8 year old boy who used to see his father get ready for office everyday. Next in line was another interview which I approached with an unbound confidence that I used to feel every time I dressed up like my father in that Louis Philippe attire, and the only thing that was different this time was that I wanted to do good in the interview irrespective of the fear of being chosen.
