I have been born and brought up in Delhi and I am a very fashion-conscious person. Delhi being a metropolitan city has had a lot of fashion retail stores from the beginning, be it Connaught Place, Gurgaon, Select City Walk etc. and Pantaloons, a brand of Aditya Birla Group has always been a stop shop for my clothing. It has a wide range of clothing categories like western casual, traditional wear, formals etc. for adults, teens and kids, which makes it a family brand. Moreover, the variety and new designs it has gives customers a wide range of choice and there is something to look forward for everyone. Also, the affordable prices along with the customer service it provides to the customers is appreciable and uniform across all the retail stores. Since ambience plays a pivotal role in the shopping experience of a customer, Pantaloons has ensured that its retail stores are tidy and the sections for different categories are arranged in an order that makes it easy for the customers to look and choose what they want. Also, the store has recently changed its outlook, making it more attractive, convenient and a better experience for the customers.
B. From the very beginning, I have never restricted myself to just the curriculum. I am an all-rounder who is passionate about cricket. I always had an avid interest for cricket. At the age of 11, I started playing the sport professionally. After 2 years of immense hard-work, I went for the Delhi Under-14 State trials. However, I could not be selected and was really disappointed. I decided not to give up and try next year for the Under-16 level. But this time too, I could not make it to the state team. I felt dejected and thought of giving up on my passion. Now, it was my last year for the Under-16 level and I decided to give my last shot. This was a crucial year of my life because I also had to appear for my matriculation exam. I was determined and dedicated to make it to the state team and I worked diligently to not only succeed in cricket, but also manage my studies. Finally, I made it to the 30 shortlisted cricketers of the Delhi Cricket State team and also managed to secure a 10 CGPA and topped the All India Secondary Examination. This experience of my life taught me to remain strong even in the face of tough times, believe in yourself and never give up.
