The little things in life are the ones creating a big impact in life. They make us who we are, they define us, they give us reasons to smile. This happens only if we start noticing them, their presence and contribution in our lives. Aditya Birla has been a part of all our lives if we know it or not. Starting from the home we live, the clothes we use, accessories, communication etc., it has always been there.
May 08, 2012. It was my Father’s birthday. He is the type of person who puts family’s wishes before his. He is the one who I always look up to. He never buys stuffs for himself. Me and my sister always wonder why. So, this time we thought of getting him a perfect birthday gift. We searched through all the stores and finally got into Allen Solly. He is a person who always wore simple outfits and not modern ones. But the collections were so great. We got a deep blue shirt with small white dots all over. I was kind of skeptical whether he would like it or not, but he loved it. From that day, till now his work clothes are only from Allen Solly.
My personal favorite is Pantaloons, a division of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited. It is operated in a total of 78 cities in India. Wherever I go, I find a store of Pantaloons in the city. The collection is fashionable, and we get everything in the same store. Be it a party wear, ethnic wear, active wear we will find the best. Shopping is my kind of stress buster. It makes me feel happy. I have spent hours and hours of shopping. Everyone has a special style of dressing and pantaloons has everything of it.
Life always surprises us. It is made up of series of small events that get connected in a way to make us reach to the ultimate destination. when I stop and think back now everything is being interconnected. The decisions I made, the path I took has made me what I am today. I always wonder what it would be like when I took the alternate path.
One of the biggest challenges was to choose between my mind and heart. Almost in all matters, they don’t really get along. This will leave me in a dilemma most of the times. My mind most of the times thinks of all the practical solutions that are right for me and for the people around me. It urges me to do the thing that benefits me. It always goes by the rule book. Whereas my heart asks me to do the stuffs that I’ll be comfortable with. It chooses the one that makes me happy. It always keeps me in the comfort zone. The question that is always with me is ‘what is that which decides who we are today?’
People will say that ‘follow your heart’ and it knows the path. The major decisions of my life like choosing the stream of study after 10
th standard, choosing the right college for myself, selecting the stream in which I should work for etc., is decided only after long discussions with myself. ‘No one knows you better than your own self’, they say. I am still learning to overcome the challenge of choosing the right choice in my life. We never know what is right until we feel it so from our heart. From choosing a perfect dress to major life decisions. I believe it always comes with practice and learning from experiences. One decision lead to the other and it leads to the other. It is okay to make mistakes, but it works magic only if we learn from them.
