Curse in the name of Boon

Being a single kid I was spoon fed from Day 1 of my life and yea I am grateful for my parents for doing a fabulous job.

But the world isn’t here to treat you the same way your parents do. When I graduated I happened to work for a MNC. I considered my self lucky and thought that campus placement was a boon.

MNC where the work was hectic and a repetitive one after multiple requests to change the projects which were nonchalantly denied by the resource management team. I understood that having

a tight schedule doing a repetitive work and getting a poor a rating will definitely not take me anywhere. Even applied for a couple of companies only to get rejected

the job which I considered boon was actually a curse disguised as a boon.  

So I had to make time after a tiring day sit and actually

concentrate on my entrance exam. Initial phases were tragic couldn't concentrate used to fall asleep after just 10 minutes rotational shifts were like salt on

a open wound. Finally after months of struggle i could finally get a hang of it. finally after juggling with the work and studies for about an year I cleared my entrance with descent enough score to land myself a interview in one of

them most reputed B-school and eventually convert it. I learnt that consistency is the key. A lot of lessons were learnt in the span of 2 years that shaped me the way I am today.
