Ever been at that point of Mountain during a trek – where you see the next few meters and it feels like this is the Peak of Mountain. Only on Reaching there you realize – Oh! There much more of Mountain (Or Perhaps a new mountain now!) left to climb. Well That’s Life!I am Ajinkya Chopade from MDI Gurgaon’s PGPIM Course, and this is my story, with my mountains, and my climbs!
A person goes through multiple phases throughout his life be it school, college, job, marriage and what not. No matter whether he plans to do it or not, it will somehow come to him and one may or may not have any control over it as it’s the nature’s way of saying that you are growing up. Such sort of change can be overwhelming, it might make you feel a bit worried, a bit challenged and in some instances even helpless. But there is one thing that we can be certain off that this time will surely pass by and more often than not you will come out of it with flying colors.
The one question thrown at me everytime I am on a call with my mother and my reply had been constant throughout these days “As soon as I get some time.” I am an ambitious, industrious 21 year old young girl who craves to venture into each and every possible escapade life could unleash me to. Stating my conventional yet distinct journey on a fast forward mode, I completed my schooling with exemplary performance, pursued my graduation from a renowned college of this nation, appeared for CAT and got into one of the top B-Schools of this country anyone could have asked for. Life could not have been better but what I was erroneous upon was the fact that everything of this comes at a cost. The cost is your roots, your parents, your siblings, your innocuousness, your life that is left behind in this rat race to come first.

I come from a very small town in Uttar Pradesh where there was only one English medium school. I have been lucky to have parents who value education and have always sent me to the best school available. I always felt out of place in that town and knew deep down that I wanted to do something big and meaningful. I was 7 years old when I first heard of Kalpana Chawla and was instantly inspired by her wonderful journey of reaching NASA from Karnal. I started reading every piece of news related to Ms. Chawla. This inspired me to dream big and I started to set big goals for myself. I would study for hours, trying to learn more than what was taught at school. I came across this beautiful quote said by Ms. Chawla – “If you want to do something, what does it matter where you are ranked?” and that helped me focus on what was really important in life.
Aditya Birla Group is a premium global conglomerate and has always valued integrity, commitment, passion, seamlessness and speed. With these values and a mission to deliver superior values to all its stakeholders, Aditya Birla Group has risen to the next level of the horizon. Aditya Birla Group, with a vision to be a premium global conglomerate, having a clear focus on each of its businesses, has made its presence globally.
Sometimes a person forgets the very reason that he is striving very hard to accomplish. I belong to a middle-class family with a working mother, who has undoubtedly worked harder than me to accomplish my dreams and aspirations. The factor that motivated me the most was to be able enough to provide her with the best lifestyle possible. Due to this motivation and a lot of hard work, I secured a position in the prestigious Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani. The intense competition in BITS made me strive to work harder to accomplish my highest potential. But this hard work led me to give less and less time to the very reason I was trying to accomplish. Initially, I talked to my mother every day which later became weeks, it reached till the point that I almost never had any time to talk to her. Once amid a hustling day, I was sitting for a cup of coffee in the canteen when suddenly an advertisement on television attracted my attention. It was the advertisement of idea playing in which the mobile phones of the mother and the son gets swapped and while the phone of the son, that was with the mother, was ringing continuously the mother’s phone, that was with the son, never rang, the son realizes this and almost crying immediately calls her mother and says ma, without forgetting I will call you every day. Watching this I couldn’t stop myself and called her from canteen itself, crying I promised her the same. That day we talked for almost an hour. I am keeping that promise till now. That advertisement made me realize that it’s not only the large success that matters but also the small moments and the journey that you enjoy with the one you love matters.
