When you look at the recent advertisement by Aditya Birla Group you suddenly have a revelation that this name impacts your life in many ways. I go back in time and remember the difficulty in buying a suit for an interview. In India, we still are far behind in realizing that women need formal wear too. It was Van Heusen, an ABG fashion and retail limited brand, that came to my rescue. When I entered the huge Van Heusen Women store in Bangalore, I felt a glimmer of hope that I will make it to my interview the next day. It was there that I finally found what I was looking for and also in my size which is again not that easy because I am one of the people with a slimmer build. Also, how can we forget pantaloons which is one of the favourite places to shop for a lot of Indians including me. I cannot even begin counting how many times me and my family have visited the store and shopped.
Another important service that I would like to thank Aditya Birla Group for is the Aditya Birla Health Insurance. It has ensured the coverage of my parent’s medical expenses. This is one very huge burden off my parent’s shoulders. Also, as it is one of the more reasonable insurances it did not become an extra burden. If you open your eyes and look, you would realize ABG has and is continuing to impact your life.
It is said that “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall”. There have been times in everyone’s life where we have felt that getting up is impossible and when we actually did it there was much greater zeal to go on.
Honestly speaking compared to a lot of people I haven’t any challenge that could be considered big. My challenges are small and day to day like overcoming a massive amount of stage fright. The career I chose for myself does not allow me to have such shortcomings. I cannot say that I have overcome this challenge and every time I have to give a presentation this fear surfaces but every time, I successfully deliver a presentation I overcome the challenge a little bit.
The extent of my fear was such that I refused to talk to any of my teachers until I was in 5
th standard. I was gripped with such a sense of insecurity that I lied to my parents about talking to my teacher. But they were able to identify and understand my problem and coax me out of the shell that I had created for myself. When I tell this story to my friends now, they find It hard to believe it because of the way I have transformed myself.
Rightly said, any adversity or shortcoming that you face in your life shapes you up for facing anything that life throws at you.
