EVERY STEP OF THE WAY - Anshula Mohapatra, SIBM Pune

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY - Anshula Mohapatra, SIBM Pune

It was during the early 2000s, during one of the rainy days of July, we had our School Foundation Day. The teachers had asked us to get homecooked treats for a small get together within class, where all the kids were supposed to learn the art of sharing. However, for the students, it was more of an exhibition of what our mothers could cook best! After a lot of pondering and careful consideration with my mother regarding the dish to be made, we narrowed in on the option of homemade “BURGERS”. Little did my young mind understand that the efforts that were being put into the task were carefully thought through right from the start. The next morning, when I woke up 20 hot burgers were sitting ready on the dining table, and my mother had carefully wrapped the buns and patty with shiny silver sheets, turning them into mysterious shiny balls. At school, the rains had restricted our play time which made us sulk, however the burgers were still fresh and hot, thanks to the beautiful wrapping around it, marking the day a success!

Against all the odds!!! My journey to IIM Lucknow

Against all the odds!!! My journey to IIM Lucknow

I still remember my very first face off with the cat. I came back completely shattered and devastated .. Why??.!! I already had an experience of failure and the trauma aftermath during my JEE preparation. When all the hopes of your family members lies on you but at the end of the day you came to know that you are nothing than a big Zero. Yeah you heard me correct! I had the same feeling 7 years ago. I couldn't clear IIT JEE and didn't had the grit and determination to ask my father, for an year drop. Result I ended up doing my graduation from 2nd tier college.

Always Going By My Intuition - Chhavi Jain, MDI Gurgaon

“Trust the vibes you get, energy doesn’t lie” – These are the words, I, earlier thought, played no part in my life and that every decision that I take in my life is a thoughtful one and not an intuitive one. However, what I didn’t know was that I was subconsciously living by these words. This realization came to me only a while back.
