How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far?
Challenges are like a stepping stone in the life of everyone which either carries one ahead or makes us stumble down. It designs the road map from our first cry to our last exhalation. Challenges are both optimistic as well as pessimistic. It only makes us realize our capability to hold ourselves strong enough, to have that believe in ourselves and to stay calm with patience in the face of roadblocks. A life without challenges is an unhealthy soul which has not given any effort to success all through his curriculum.
Coming out successfully after overcoming those hindrances brings us our Version 2.0. 2nd January 2012, I stepped into NIT Rourkela to join the M.Tech (Research) program quite unknown of the various harsh learnings, I was going to have in the coming years. As a part of the curriculum, one was required to submit the thesis on innovative research work which would be forwarded to eminent professors and industrialists. After a long wait with various ups and downs finally, the feedback report was received on 5th January 2015 which required some major corrections and follow through a presentation before 14th January for the award of degree, which was scheduled on 17th January 2015 failing which I had to wait till 2016. In this short span, I had to sit 15-16 hrs at my laboratory for the next 5 days for responding to every suggested correction. The drafting, compilation and other necessary stuff before printing the final book took 1 more day. In between those challenging hours, I also had to make all the necessary transportation and accommodation arrangements for the external examiner. And finally, with the necessary guidance and support of the department, I successfully defended my thesis, just a few hours before the deadline, which was applauded by the external examiner who seemed to be quite motivating for any challenging and tough times. It still makes me feel that vibrant happiness to cater through those nostalgic moments of getting convocated. When tears flow through your smiles, it brings you the august pleasure of overwhelming a tough challenge without fading out.
