As a young boy in my teenage I was fascinated with many things, but coming from a middle-class family I was bound with some restrictions. I was given everything after a particular time and the person presenting those things was my father. My father has been there for me all his life trying to fulfill my needs and desires. In the list of things, I was fascinated by there is another thing, wearing a suit.
I like men wearing suits very much. They give me a sense of responsibility. I was very fond of wearing a full suit, so as always the person fulfilling all my desires, my Father gifted me a two-piece suit and yes the cloth was “Grasim”.
This is not the exact situation Aditya Birla Group has touched my life, the real situation came after a few years. I was a graduate now and in my first job. On the payday in my first job, I thought of giving presents to my family and the superhero in my life my Father.
In a little bit of dilemma that what should I purchase for my father. As my father is a very conservative man with limited desires. But he has one thing in him and that is he likes to wear safari suit and he mainly wears that only. So I bought a piece of cloth and yes only from “Grasim”. While presenting that gift to my father I have seen a Proud feeling in his eyes and yes this is the situation Aditya Birla Group has marked its presence in my life and will always be a part of my life.
- How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life so far?
Challenges are the pillar to your success and are an important part of your life. They make you strong to handle the worst situations in your life. Challenges come from two parts internal and external. External challenges are comparatively easy to handle but the real challenge an individual face is from inside.
I from the starting of my school till my graduation was on the average side on academic’s part. Compared to my friends around and my sibling I found myself weaker in studies. After my graduation I joined my first job as a quality engineer and working 20 months in quality domain I switched my domain to sales. After working for around 3 years I was still not satisfied with my career. Actually, I was missing that feeling of pride in my parent’s eyes. Life was becoming more struggling day by day and after that comes a time where I took a decision to do my post-graduation in management studies. I started to prepare for CAT 18 with continuing my job. Guidance from my friend has helped me get a good score in my entrance examination and convert many of my interviews. I finally joined a b school but yes it was not an IIM and the sense of that pride is still not found. After a week of admission in that B-school, I got a conversion mail from IIM Raipur.
The news was shared with my parents and yes they were happy now. I could found that feeling in them for which I fought for all my life. But this is not the end as now I am in IIM Raipur and more challenges are waiting for me in this journey of 2 years, but yes I am ready to face them, overcome them and achieve great heights in my life.
As I have already mentioned that, Challenges are the pillar to your success.
