It was a lazy Monday afternoon at work. I could hear the clock ticking, a faint the buzz of the fax machine in the nearby room, my colleagues laughing away in the cafeteria whiling away time. There were only a couple of hours left and then it was time to go home.
PART-A: How ABG is big in my life:
Aditya Birla is one of the biggest conglomerates in India. Just like the city of Jamshedpur is well managed by Tatas, Hindalco(also known as Renukoot) City is managed by the Birlas. My maternal Grandfather used to work in the Hindalco plant. I used to often visit this city during my childhood days. It still amazes me how planned and managed the city of Hindalco was back in the 2000’s. There were 4 lane roads everywhere in the city which never caused traffic congestions. There were even well-furnished hospitals, big public playgrounds, public libraries and open air gymnasium at almost every 3-4 km. At my hometown Chandrapura, I experienced a lot of power cuts, but in Hindalco, I rarely experienced any. When I was a teenager, I wondered why the government was not taking such initiatives to attract MNCs to manage more Indian cities on Public-Private partnership like the cities of Hindalco and Jamshedpur. It will also create job opportunities for local people when these companies establish their industries. Now, when I look at my native city and think of how Hindalco was back in 2000s, it would take another 20-30 years for my city to be like Hindalco.

I woke up on a lovely morning after having a good night sleep inside the protective walls of my house. I freshened up, took a shower and got ready in my Louis Philippe suit for IIM Ranchi interview process. I had a sumptuous breakfast, and my mother packed my lunch in Freshwrapp. I left for the interview venue. On my way to the venue, I crossed a Pantaloons store, crowded with people with smiles on their faces. I reached the venue and had an awesome interview.
