Fashion gives the freedom to express oneself, to be unapologetically you, to recognize and appreciate the inner you. In this stifling era, it is of utmost importance to just be yourself, to understand the fact that people are different, with different taste, different personalities. It is very important to just sit back and love yourself and to confide in yourself. Why try to fit in when you can stand out? Stores like pantaloons and forever 21 lets you do just that! They have clothes of the right fit and the right mood.Well one thing is for sure,my mom has definitely gotten tired of my shopping habit.I can never leave these stores without 2-3 shopping bags with me.
For all the working ladies out there,ABG has again got your backs! 2 names which instantly pop out of my head are Allen Solly and Van Heusen.They understand the concept of simplicity combined with elegance and style. It brings out the confidence in you,to leave your spark in the world.

PART-B HOW YOU OVERCAME CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE YOUR AMBITIONS IN LIFE SO FAR
True character is revealed only when one is faced with the difficulties. Anyone can succeed when going ahead is easy but it takes courage to take that one more step forward when things get real hard. Only you can solve your own problems, only you know the inner you not anybody else. The longer you spend searching for guidance outside of yourself, the longer you spend ignoring the problem. Well as for my challenging story, I have always been a bright student at academics. My entire focus in my school life was on studies except when i did sketching.When the 12th standard results came, my parents were the happiest people. I got myself into a well reputed college in Mumbai. From here my journey to pursue one of the toughest courses-CA began. I tried to manage both-new city,new challenges as well as the studies.I tried to juggle between the daily challenges,new people new experiences. Trying to balance both took a toll on me. But i was ready to toil my into my desired career. But things were differently planned for me. I couldn't clear the second level of CA course. This was the first time when I did not clear something. I mean, I was really disappointed with myself. I was really shaken. But I garnered all my courage and decided to give the attempt again. But while preparing I realized that this might not be the course for me. And that we often run behind the things that are actually not needed. Behind the things which we actually do not want and desire. I decided to change my career choice and chose MBA. But, fate had something else in mind,my college semesters and CAT exam clashed.I couldn’t perform well in the CAT exam.This time I was really heartbroken.I lost all hopes.People really changed their behavior and attitude towards me.But something really brought me back on track.I knew this was not me.I knew I have great things in my life ahead.I read some of the books.I had my parents, my friends to support me.Something pushed me to hit harder this time.I couldn’t have lived under the shadow anymore.I got hold of all my feelings,my emotions and told just one thing to me every day-I CAN DO IT & I WILL DO IT.
This is really small thing but I have personally felt its impact in my life.I felt extremely positive each passind day.And now, here I am pursuing management course from one of the prestigious institutes of India. We often tend to underestimate the divine’s plan for us.My perspective towards life has changed,now I believe everything happens for a reason,and there might be something good in every little disappointment.
