A walk down the memory lane - Shashwat Awasthi, IIM Raipur

A walk down the memory lane - Shashwat Awasthi, IIM Raipur

Childhood memories are the most cherished ones. I hail from Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh), but since my father was transferred to Bangalore (now Bengaluru), I have spent a considerable part of my life there. Every time we had to buy groceries, we used to go for shopping at the nearby More Supermarket in Indiranagar on weekends. That had been a place of purchase for most of the items ranging from groceries to daily use items like snacks, shampoo and other toiletries. This store is always the one which builds up a sense of nostalgia to the current day when I visit it now, as it was the first supermarket I had seen. I started visiting the store in my 8th class, going through the supermarket looking out for different varieties of snacks placed on the left side back rack of the shop hunting for my favorite ones. I was fascinated by different deals being offered and used to calculate the extra value being provided in products ranging from biscuits to shampoo and toiletries. My sole task was to gather different snacks being offered there. I used to fill my basket completely with snacks like Kurkure, Uncle Chips and not to mention my favorite Cheese Balls. Many times, my dad used to scold me to keep some of them back to the shelf again. I used to put half of them back while my dad went for billing. The staff was very courteous and used to greet us every time we used to visit the store.

ABG : An IDEA can indeed change your life!

ABG : An IDEA can indeed change your life!

 As I write this article sitting in front of my window looking beyond the clear sky of Ranchi, I think of BK Birla. I see the contribution of one man BK Birla in one business agglomerate – Aditya Birla Group. I see how ABG that began just as an idea more than 150 years back is now an unfathomable force. It is venturing now in businesses hard to keep a count of and doing exceedingly well. Yet, it won’t be wrong to say, it all began with an idea and an idea can indeed change your life.

How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions – TAPMI

As a child, I had to constantly keep changing my schools after every two years as my father served in the armed forces. After every two years, we had to shift to a new place, new school, new people, new neighborhood, etc. Of course it was a great opportunity to meet and interact with people of diverse backgrounds, but it was challenging at the same time. I had to start everything all over again in each place. In school, I had to adjust to the new curriculum, had to keep making new friends every two years and then adapting to the new environment was quite tough. However I kept pushing myself to focus on self-improvement by participating in a number of competitions like elocution, essay writing, sports, quizzes, etc. and then adjusting to the new atmosphere became a cakewalk.

"Ek Idea jo badal de ap ki duniya"- Who cannot remember this tagline playing on the TV! Whenever I heard this line I don't know why but it struck a chord with my heart. I am a person with little patience and one who panics a lot! (a lot :p). So, I get little "panic pangs" like people get hunger pangs and whenever I get these my go-to person is my Father and the one thing he says every time is "Have Patience and think thoroughly" and by this he means that just think and u will get that one Idea that will get you through and sail your boat.
