Durga Puja is a celebration of everything that is unique about Bengalis. The way the city of Kolkata changes during the week of Pujo cannot be imagined unless one has actually experienced it. It is a festival of love and passion and beauty and above all bangaliana – a word that signifies what is so special about being a Bong.
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.
Getting into a top B-School is everybody's dream these days, isn't it? Well, it was certainly mine. Academics has always been my strong point and is something I take pride in. Going through my graduation, all that anybody asked me was "So, what's the plan?", to which I would just subtly smile and say "Let's see". What they didn't realise was the impact this had on me as I had no clarity of my future plans. But well, this surely got me to do the thinking and after enough research, I realised an MBA was the course for me. I soon became determined to achieve my goals and started preparing two years in advance.
Challenges are part and parcels of life. Saying that only I faced the worst of worst would not just be wrong but also an overstatement. We all have our demons and we fight them in our own unique ways.
