It happens when you least expect it… The biggest thing in anybody’s life in this generation is phone. Not just any phone, but a smart phone with great connectivity and services. And during my stay in Pune, especially in Lavale campus, Vodafone-Idea has been a great companion, providing the best services all around. I still remember, when people around me would crave for network, I would be enjoying my internet services. It might have made the others jealous but I did turn out to be an advantage to them as well. Because soon I had become the “hotspot woman” in my group. Thus making me popular too. And then came branding, wherein I would recommend everyone to use Vodafone-Idea services. There was a time as well, where I just felt I should have been declared as the unofficial brand ambassador of the network, just like the very famous airtel lady. Could have been a great branding though, if thought about. I come from an Engineering background, worked in manufacturing sector. And working in manufacturing sector has its own pros and cons. Pros being learning from the experienced, hands on experience and great exposure. But everything comes with a cost. And before even I realized, I was already paying its cost in EMIs, that is my foot injury. Working on assembly line requires to be standing for long hours in safety shoes. A point did come where I wondered, my fitbit should start counting my standing time than my daily footsteps. It surely would have been more.Those hard ,dark, thick as the skin of a buffalo, kind of safety shoes, which in itself weighed about half a kg added to my weight and pain. This regular wearing of this shoes lead to an internal bone pain on my foot. Already my feet were somehow managing to bear my weight and now these shoes were and added thing. I really pitied my feet.And because of already having a slight tendency towards flat foot ,(cherry on the icing) the pain would increase exponentially with time (it did remind me of all the complex graphs I had studied in my school and college). Consulting doctors and physiotherapies had become a regular thing, but the improvement didn’t seem exponential at all (now the decreasing curve came into picture). Then came Aditya Birla Hospital, as my knight in the shining armour, to take away all my pain, which it almost did. To my surprise ,things began falling back in place. What a relief it was.So, somewhere or the other, I do owe my gratitude towards Aditya Birla group. And because of its great ties with Tata Motors, my treatment also got reimbursed. So , basically, directly or indirectly, ABG’s ties too did wonders for me. It did turn out to be win-win for me at least, if not for the insurance people.
