My admissions for Kindergarten had been delayed due to my father’s transfer as a result the school didn’t offer me admission in between , after a few talks I was to offered an admission only on one condition that I clear an INTERVIEW, now here comes the twist I wasn’t interviewed just by a single person but by students (wait for it …not yet…) of standard 8th during their geography class . Imagine facing an interview in early days, let alone a group interview for a kid, what are the odds you have faced a group interview that early in life ? I was scared after seeing all the students, I had no hack in my quiver that would come to my rescue, out of fear I closed my eyes and felt not the students but the map itself rotating and asking me questions(yes I faced my interview eyes closed), I did answer most of basic questions of Indian geography , but still couldn’t figure out why students were laughing while I answered, only to realize years later how it funny it would have felt answering eyes closed like a parrot.
Years passed and I grew very fond of numbers and sports, but the real test was yet to be passed when despite being shortest in class I had made it to the school basketball team. Well passing is an easy game , you just have to build a small algorithm, simple , yet effective. I still remember crashing a lot on those ‘Ultra-Tech ‘ cement bags kept aside during construction of new court while practicing my 3 step shoots and also climbing on them to recover the occasional ball tangled in the net.
My thoughts just got out of sync when a bus hit a big speed bumper and had reached ‘Suchana Bhavan’ of IIM Ranchi the place where I am currently learning and discovering about my new phase of life
