Bursting the bubble you create - TAPMI

Bursting the bubble you create - TAPMI

As a child I was always notorious, constantly getting into trouble, picking on people and creating ruckus. That was in my 5th grade. In my 6th, we moved to a new locality and I changed schools. I joined a little late and by then friend groups had already formed. I had decided to change myself. Stop being a spoiled kid and have a better impression among others. I became a silent kid; I didn’t talk much unless talked to. By the time I reached my 12th grade, I was complete introvert. I had created a bubble around myself. I rarely interacted with anyone, and became the silent kid from every class. When I joined my graduation, I realized being in this bubble would not help me in any manner. It was time I made another major shift in my life. The time had come to burst the bubble. I started forcing myself into situations which made me unconformable. I joined clubs, participated in various competitions, and tried talking to as many people as possible. By the end of my graduation, I headed 2 clubs, had published a paper and organized multiple events and workshops. It has been a year since my graduation, and in my final year of MBA, I am still not a complete extrovert, I still get uncomfortable around very huge gatherings but, I’m still consistently trying to improve myself and become the person I aspire to be.

How I Overcame Challenges to Achieve My Ambitions So Far- TAPMI

I am born and brought up in a small town in a protected environment. Then, I moved to Mumbai for graduation for my graduation and CAT preparation. It was a drastic change in the community environment and people around. Being the topper in my class till 12th, I was over-confident of myself which hit me back in my first year of graduation. There was tough and tough competition and people had some brilliant minds outside of the textbook world which I was unaware of. Gradually, I started learning things from friends and people around about new things and the ‘Practical World’. In this process, I, along with my two flatmates, initiated a newspaper start-up, ‘White Ink’. I was of 18 years back then and that experience has contributed to major part of my learnings and perspective. I still remember one instance when we had to be present in a court for registration of newspaper title. There were other entrepreneurs in the court room and the questions asked to them by the magistrate were regarding language of newspaper, periodicity, publisher and so on. The first question asked to me was ‘What is your age?’
