HOW YOU OVERCAME CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE YOUR AMBITIONS IN LIFE SO FAR
I had faced major hurdle while I was preparing for CAT exam. I took decision to study management studies at the age of 24. People around me had demotivated me about my decision for shift in my field. Even my relations bothered me a lot. But I overcame their perceptions and really worked hard for a brief period. As I was shortlisted for the interview of IIM Kashipur, my dad fell sick and was admitted in hospital under emergency. I was with him for 4 days continuously and attended the interview on day 5. But its my mental strength which helped me to be confident and helped me to got over the line and get landed in IIM Kashipur. Things had been very hectic as I joined IIM Kashipur. As I was from TamilNadu and don’t have proficiency in language Hindi, I had a very hard time in the beginning. It came out to be that I am the only student in the class who doesn’t understand Hindi. I felt left out from most of my class discussion and even in decision making. I even consulted a psychiatrist to overcome my depression. But later I found a way to overcome this depression and I began to interact with other linguistic population. Still now I am not so proficient with language Hindi, but I learnt to communicate with them, engage with them and also to party with them.
