I was working in operations department of my company and usually the work could not get completed in the office hours and I had to complete the remaining after I reached home, I also had to travel 1.5 hour to reach my work place. The situation became challenging when I started preparing for my MBA exam and I wasn’t able to take out time for this at first also i am a kind of person who wants to have a work life balance and would like to give sufficient time for my family as well. I wasn’t sure how will I be able to perform all of them. I wasn’t able to study for initial 2-3 days for my MBA exam as I got carried away with the work but I knew that is wrong and I had to do all things simultaneously. Earlier I used to do my left-over task of office in home but due to lack of time as I needed to start preparing for my MBA exam, I had to find an alternative. So, I made a plan to deal with the situation. I started by waking up 2 hours early and after the routine of jogging, would study quant for 2 hours before leaving for office. I used to study English when I was travelling to my work place. If any task was left from the office then I would use my travelling time for completing that task and then when I reached home, after spending time with my family, I would study for logical reasoning. For improving my calculation speed, I stopped using calculator and would do all the calculation in mind. I learned how Time management Is important in achieving all the task and how by scheduling all our work could make us more productive and effective.
Mind my Weapon
It’s funny when you are pursuing your MBA surrounded by people who are 25-26 years old. For them, we 21 years old are kids of a different generation. For us, life has been a cake walk. We have not faced the so-called hardships of life. Agreed, they might have a little more Job experience but apart from that, we all are similar to them.

Common Ground - TAPMI
The first day of my boarding school life was an important focal point of introspection through the years following the utter chaos and confusion that unfolded layer by layer unto my early adult life. I was just shy of being all of ten years old and I had just landed in a fully residential campus on the opposite side of the country with atleast a hundred other sobbing kids from various parts of India. 'Settling in' took a lot longer than many of our teachers and guardians said it would and it is understandable now in retrospect but there always existed a block, an obstacle, that was preventing us from sharing our experiences and turning this new journey of our lives into something fun and positive.
The Ugly Truth - The Gap Year (My Challenge) - TAPMI
As far as I can remember and dive deep into the past, I can gladly say that for the better part of my life, it has been a breeze, but like they say, it isn’t a smooth sailing road ahead, and with all the ups comes a down. And it was just the time for my downswing to strike. It hit me out of nowhere like a hurricane, there were warning signs, but like any other person, I believed ignorance is bliss. That was a rookie mistake.
