Aditya Birla Group is one of the most coveted Indian multinational conglomerate. Its presence in 34 countries and 14 different industrial sectors is what makes ABG one of the most sought after organizations in India. It imbibes the Indian culture and spirit to the helm and represents India on an international level. Yet ABG manages to play an important part in the life of most individuals in India. ABG has had a lot of significance in my life and has helped me become the person that I am in more ways than one. I look up to my mother. She has been my backbone over the years. Her experience and her values have helped me shun away the conservative Indian values which are a bane for the society. She had spent a major part of her childhood with her uncle while he was employed at Hindalco Industries. The influence of Hindalco Industries on her was so much so that it even rubbed off on me. We used to frequently visit Hindalco Industries in my childhood. I felt a different aura there which I still desperately search for. But time moves on and the presence of Hindalco and ABG on my life started to fade away. It was at that point of time when I moved to Chennai for my under graduation. A new journey and a new life awaited. The first couple of days in Chennai were challenging since I was so far away from home. This is where Vodafone Idea Limited stepped in and helped me to be in touch with my family. Vodafone also played a major part when the wrath of cyclone Fani had devastated Odisha. During such times of despair, Vodafone Idea Limited helped me to communicate with my parents for which I’ll always be grateful. Good attire always helps you to put a lasting impression. This is where Louis Phillipe came into my life. My father is as passionate about this brand as he was 25-30 years ago. The look that it gives is sublime and it complements his personality. Over the years Louis Phillipe has never compromised on its quality and that is the reason for its continued domination in its domain. This inspires me to never compromise on the quality of effort put to achieve success. This is how influential ABG has been in my life. From having an emotional connect with ABG to it being involved in my life as daily wear and means to connect to my near and dear ones. It’s only fair to say that ABG has been really big in my life.
Ever since my childhood, my Achilles heel has always been obesity. My metabolism was slow so much so that even if I consumed a normal diet my weight would increase consistently. This was a growing concern in my parents and they tried to convey that to me multiple times but it would always fall on deaf ears. It was in 2016 that I used to weigh 105 kgs. This was followed by health issues. My thyroid results showed that it was on borderline and I needed to curb it. That moment changed me. I realized that it’s high time to start getting fit. What followed next was two years of intense workout coupled with dieting. There were moments when I was inches away from giving up, but I believe that God was kind enough to me and blessed me with amazing friends. They kept encouraging me and always stood behind me like a wall. My parents also had a huge role to play. When I began my dieting, my mother used to accompany me while I used to eat salads. That was a big motivation for me and I realized the lengths our parents would go to motivate us. Hard work, determination and perseverance always give you the results. I managed to reduce my weight by 31 kgs. Those two years is the most defining period in my life. It taught me about life way more than any textbook could ever do. It gave me confidence and the change in my body reflected in my personality. I was a changed man. It also taught me that the perception of people changes with time. The same bunch of people who used to tease me was asking me tips on how to reduce weight. But the most satisfying moment was when I saw the satisfaction and pride in my parents’ eyes. It finally dawned upon me that nothing is impossible if you put in the right amount of effort.
