Lead To Bring A Change in One's Life - The ABG Style | Gopinath N.G., TAPMI

Challenges are necessary in one’s life as they make the curve of the life sinusoidal. Else, the curve will be straight, and the life will seem dead. Challenges tests us on so many parameters like patience, understanding, presence of mind, collaboration, sacrifice, etc. that one needs to learn to live life in a better way. One of my ambitions was to do something beyond what I have ever imagined in helping others. I believe that life is not just to live for yourself but is to live for others as well. In wondering when I will be a part of someone’s life that I would create an impact, life put me in one huge responsibility as a human to do so.

The Blue Shirt Of A Lucky Teen - Ashwin Pillai, TAPMI

The Blue Shirt Of A Lucky Teen - Ashwin Pillai, TAPMI

It was a weird day at college. My first crush, the quintessential model of perfection in my mind, had just begun talking to me, the awkward guy of the class. It confused me, or rather it bothered me. Little did I know it was the beginning of a very sweet and budding relationship. I often wondered what had made her call me out that day, and I still remember the first ever compliment she had passed. She had liked my shirt, ‘the’ blue shirt. That moment on, the kid in me somehow associated my luck with that shirt. So much so that I never did anything important not wearing it! All major dates with her, all committee interviews and even exams! There was a time when I had consecutive exams throughout the week, and I still didn’t give up on my belief! It had set a routine for myself; wearing the blue shirt and listening to Roobaroo from Rang de Basanti before going for the exams. I’ve still not figured if it was the power of the shirt or just my luck but I breezed through the exams like a charm. Over the years this exact kiddish beliefs had got me the strength to get through thick n thin. But alas, ‘the favourite shirt’ as it used to be called by my friends, had grown smaller for me over the years. It still seemed to be in its pink, but still had to be donated. It must have found another teen somewhere, somehow who needs its magic. Over the year when I owned it, I never knew what the name behind the collar meant, and to be honest I still don’t! But one thing I know is that “Pantaloons” was ‘the blue shirt of a lucky teen’ and always will be.

What an Idea Sir Ji! - Aashpreet Giddey, TAPMI

What an Idea Sir Ji! - Aashpreet Giddey, TAPMI

If I ever think about catchy advertisements that made an impact in my life, Idea's "Walk and Talk" and "What an Idea Sir Ji!" comes to mind. I remember, as a kid, after seeing that I would never sit and talk. I would always take the phone and start walking. The impact of the ad was such that I started telling all my family members to do the same. It was funny that whenever I saw anyone sit and talk, I would go to them and say, Walk and talk. The impact was that this became a habit. The longer we talked, the longer we walked, leading to some crucial healthy lifestyle changes.

Facing Challenges And Overcoming Them - Shatakshi Agarwal, TAPMI

Facing Challenges And Overcoming Them - Shatakshi Agarwal, TAPMI

Since childhood I was a very naughty and bubbly child who is always eager to play with things, small, big or any possibility of mischief that can be done. In contrast to this fact, I belong to a very strict background where my brother was a constant topper and my father sees nothing beyond the studies. While my brother was excelling everywhere, I was a fail in studies. I scored really low score in my 12th board exams and that was a big set back for my family where everyone was doing just great. With such pressure I started feeling low of me and was convinced with the thought that I won’t be able to achieve anything in life. But there was a hope, not in me but my father. He keeps boosting me for however small thing I achieve. Even if I win in 3-member team, he boosts me with gifts and praises like I have achieved the world. This motivation of him drove me upwards and let me think of my strengths. I went on to think more rationally, where I perform and which area do I fail in. What is in me that people buys for and how can I optimize it in for the growth of myself. I truly believe that “The Change comes from within” and the motivation for that is “Hope”. Hope of doing good one day. By saying that, doing good can be defined relatively, it was differ from person to person. But for me doing good is my father’s happiness. The proud I see in his eyes for me gives me strength to do what my heart says and follow the path I enjoy to explore.

How I Overcame Life's Challenges To Achieve My Ambitions - Akhil Surya Venkata Gudla, TAPMI

How I Overcame Life's Challenges To Achieve My Ambitions - Akhil Surya Venkata Gudla, TAPMI

I had overcome two major challenges in my life which are defining my career now. The first one is during my schooling. I was a mediocre student until my 7th class. I studied in CBSE school and I was not able to cope up well in the class and hence was scoring average marks. This brought down my confidence and I didn’t like that. So, I talked with my father and shifted to state syllabus school so that my confidence builds up, understand the subject better and be among the toppers. In my new school, the teachers understood me better and were always available in clearing my doubts and in providing guidance. I grabbed this opportunity and showed continuous improvement in my marks and slowly started climbing up the ladder in my class rankings. I am now proud to say that I was able to achieve my goal. In my 10th class, I got the best student award and was one of the school toppers. I continued my hard-work and joined AMRITA UNIVERSITY to complete my Engineering. I landed up in a dream core job in ROBERT BOSCH.
