Clothing and dressing up is a big part of a girl’s life it’s something over which she bonds with her friends. But the very first person with whom a girl goes to shopping and comes in terms with her own sense of style is her mother. I remember Pantaloon being one of the very first apparel outlet I went to with my mother when I was a teen. I was awestruck by all the options available, all I could think about was about the possibilities of how I could frame my persona. Dressing is a big way of communicating one’s emotions and personality especially during teen years and here I was at a place which gave me so many options, I could paint my persona with. Pantaloon became my go to place for the variety it had, for the comfort its clothes gave me and for all the memories I had of me roaming around various displays trying to find the top that was “Me” while my mother kept on telling me that it was too “dull” or not “girly” enough. Of course, she succumbed to my incessant requests promising she would not let me comeback and choose again. But the memory that I will always go back to every time I enter a Pantaloon store is of the day when me and my sister went for a purchase without our mother. That day we felt such happiness that I still have the top with me, used and reused but its quality remains. For me overcoming a challenge defines a point in your life and gives you a “before” and an “after”. Every challenge changes you in its own way and mine defined who I am now as an adult, as a colleague and as a person. My challenge came in the form of the supervisor I had at the first project I worked on. He was infamous for being unfair, irritable, demanding and inconsiderate. This was such an important phase of my life because before this my view of the world was that of a child who believed that the world is fair. This challenge didn’t just pop that bubble, it made me better equipped to face such situations. The environment in which I work was toxic with little space to think about career growth. The work was taxing and not rewarding because at the end of it despite my efforts I could make little headway with him. Despite this everyday I tried to give in and learn as much I could but not for his approval but because I wanted to be better at what I do. I studied for CAT and moved put of that place to join MBA. Even though that time in my life made me a loner where I didn’t even want to discuss my problems with my family, but it most definitely made me wiser. Now that I have gained perspective, I see that maybe I didn’t handle things in the best way.
