Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life.
Cutting the perfect amount of fresh piece from the box that is so smooth and silky that it is to be handled with extreme care. The crease that comes on it even with a slight push tinges my heart who is trying really hard to bring it back together.
I distinctly remember during 45 minutes of lunch break in school we used to finish our food within the first 10 minutes and the rest of the time we either played hide and seek in the entire campus or cricket in the classroom corridors. However, it wasn’t with a proper bat and ball. Who would carry that to a school every day. I am sure everyone can go back to those days where books were used as bats and the ‘aluminium foils’ from our lunch boxes was rolled into a ball. No Indian mother gives her kids tiffin without an aluminium foil. After all we Indian kids grow up eating lots and lots of ‘parathas’ and ‘rotis’.
Aditya Birla Group the largest and the biggest producer of these foiled wrappers have and will always keep generating such childhood memories. But this is not it. Who can forget about the paper toss in office. I really feel that foil will not only be remembered for wrapping food or things but the creative games that people have been coming up since ages.
Aditya Birla Group is spread over such diverse business sectors that it touches the heart and soul of each and every one out there from making our shopping worthwhile to spreading network across the globe. This story is just one of the many things through which ABG is big in my life.
How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life so far.
“Whatever happens, happens for good.” is what I have and still believe in. I have of course encountered a multiple of challenging situations in my life, who doesn’t. But I think because of that, I am who I am right now. Every challenge and every hurdle brings in a lesson along with it and there are only two options to it. Either you take it positively, use it and better yourself or you just don’t realize it and move on to get into another much bigger challenge of similar kind.
I had just passed out of my degree college and was about to a start a new phase in my life “Work Life”. At the outset it felt like a new learning experience and make me an independent woman. It surely was. However, the initial days were tough on me. Not being used to such a professional routine, I had created a bad image in front of my reporting manager. It became difficult to sit for long hours on the same chair in front of a computer. There were colleagues but no friends. On top of this I was aspiring to do an MBA, which seemed far away with the little to no time I had to prepare for the entrance exams. Juggling between not missing out on the learning and opportunities in the office to meeting the expectations of parents to aiming and moving towards ambitions was the biggest struggle and challenge. It took time but I prioritized and sorted out the situation to what I wanted from life. Or it was just that I had gotten used to the situation. That was it. Now I am in one of the prestigious colleges of the country pursing my MBA masters.
This situation made me realize that whenever I fall into a problem, I start thinking low of myself. I am sure many people do. We start doubting our own capabilities. However, I have come with harmony to the fact that the world doesn’t end here. I start acknowledging my capabilities and the person whom I am and want to become into, I usually sail through, terms and conditions applied. Yes, I need to take efforts, come out of my comfort zone, encourage and motivate myself or at least be in the vicinity of the positive thinking people out there. When goals and ambitions are too big, you tend to realize the little importance and control that these challenges have over you. It is us who can bring ourselves out of our challenging situations to grab the bigger award that we all wait for. In the end it will turn out the way it is supposed to.
