‘How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far’ - Siddharth Mishra, NMIMS Mumbai

‘How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far’ - Siddharth Mishra, NMIMS Mumbai

In a country like India that is bursting to the seams with a billion young hearts all ready to go out and make this world their oyster it feels like the real challenge is to not be discouraged by the sheer number of worthy competitors you find. Everything from catching a local to buying a movie ticket feels like swimming against a huge tide that looks more likely to drown you. But the upside of this never ending struggle are the lessons of patience, perseverance and hard work that one learns. At various points in my life, I have been thrown curve balls I could not answer. Before my class 10th board exams, my mother fell terribly sick and had to be hospitalized along with my grandfather who was already admitted. During my 12th exams I myself fell victim to my chronic ailment of asthma, which left me bedridden for 3 months. During my under graduation, I was fortunate enough to discover one of my passions in life, only to come to the acceptance that what you love may not be what you can do for your life. A week before my crucial MBA exams, I was stuck coordinating a very important high priority meeting for my client with global representatives, and I had to manage 3 days of meeting content between me and my teammate. At various crossroads, life has thrown me enough bouncers to make me want to rage and grow frustrated, but I have chosen to take it all in my stride as the gift of life is unique and wonderful. And we choose, what we do with this precious gift.

Trials of being a renaissance man in the 21st century - Rajat Garg, NMIMS Mumbai

Trials of being a renaissance man in the 21st century - Rajat Garg, NMIMS Mumbai

It was in my school, that I read the poem Ozymandias by P.B. Shelley which impacted my whole life, CBSE students will relate to this. I was fascinated by the idea of transcending time. I came from a small town and my school was also not particularly resource rich in terms of academics and co-curricular activities. I knew that I had to achieve something different in life, but I had no roadmap as to how to achieve it. I was in a position where I didn’t know what I don’t know. All this while, I had the utmost support of my father, who always pushed me to defy society and believe in myself, a blessing to have for a kid with social anxiety. This led me to take admission in the prestigious Ramjas College, University of Delhi, for pursuing English Literature. I thought it would help me to understand the context that I live in. During one of the interviews for a college society, I was laughed out of the room because I wasn’t able to stitch two words together to make a coherent sentence in English. That incident made me withdraw inwards and develop an inferiority complex.  It was then, my father told me a story about one of his failures in life and how it was only with sheer determination that he overcame it. I took his advice to heart and decided that it’s time to act.
