I am not a traveller by chance, but one with the intent to absorb each second of my journey with my soul. I remember the day I was about to enter the room which would have decided my future, my career path, and my journey itself to the peak of my ambitions. It was my dream MBA college interview, I was high on confidence and as the saying goes

It was my business suit which helped me showcase my talent in front of eminent faculties, such is the impact of Aditya Birla Group in my life, well the suit is a black sharp-looking and well fitted Louis Philippe’s product which is an integral part of my business wardrobe collection.

Challenges add meaning to our lives and that is what I realized at the age of twelve. I started playing table tennis at the age of twelve and there started a journey of self-realization. Resource crunch, injuries and absence of professional training added impediments to my success, but it was pure passion which helped me endure my self confidence in this pious journey. To start with, it was my first professional tournament and I lost all matches and was low on confidence, it was as if I had lost all abilities to excel in this sport. Then one day I saw this quote in my sports room
“Sports do not build character. They reveal it”
- John Wooden
And this is when I decided to fight against all odds, I remember the tough time putting up the fight, giving eight hours daily to get to the heights I had dreamt of. Success was not easy, but it was full of memories to be cherished for the rest of my life. Representing Bangalore region in school nationals as the captain was everything that sweating for eight long hours daily yielded and this is how real sportsmen fight for their success and this is how I showed no one else but myself that giving up everything might not win you the success but giving in everything might just do it.
And this is how I achieved my ambition to capture the peak in my table tennis journey and standing tall against all odds. I am happy to share my journey and would be glad even one person will get motivated by this journey of fulfilling passion.
