Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life?
Aditya Birla Group is one of the biggest conglomerates of India and is leading player in sectors like telecom, fashion, mutual funds, steel etc. Here are a few occasions when Aditya Birla Group has made it big in life.
While I was doing my job in 2017, I wanted to invest money in Mutual Funds and save money for my future needs. I researched about all the top performing Mutual Funds in the country and invested in 3 different SIPs along Aditya Birla Sun Life Scheme. While the market had its ebbs and flows, Aditya Birla Sun Life mutual fund always gave me consistent returns on my investment. While some of my high-risk SIPs never gave returns and are still trading in negative, the Aditya Birla has given a boost to my portfolio and seeing the history, I believe, I can always rely on it.
I have always loved travelling in railways. One, because it is the cheapest mode of travelling in India and other, it presents a chance of meeting new people on your long journeys unlike air travels. Whenever I used to travel, I always wondered what if the railway track cracks or what if the strong body part of the Rail breaks down. Lately, I have realised the body of the rail and tracks of Indian Railways heavily rely on metal products like steel, copper, aluminium etc. One of the biggest contributors to these raw materials and finished goods is Hindalco Industries. The company has made a mark in the industry since 1960 and from that period the company is providing reliable and quality products to Indian Railways. Thank You, Aditya Birla Group for providing such a safe journey to whole India!

Facing My Fears
I was born in a village where meeting some basic needs was tough, and Hindi was the primary language of communication. When my family shifted to the city, I generated an inferiority complex that I could never compete with my peers and never communicate the way they do in English. Some students even used to make fun of me and bully me for being the way I was.
I was shy and never used to talk to people despite the fact that I wanted to. I always believed that I would be wrong and others know better than I did which eventually imbibed a sense of fear in me. Once, in a class, I was punished for answering wrong – when I perfectly knew the right answer.
I used to cry alone almost every day saying to myself that one day, “I will fight it out and one day I will speak up”. Being introvert and shy, it was very demanding to get out of that abyss.
It was in 9th standard almost 4-years after I changed my city, I found my first break. When I went to my new school wearing the dress of my older school, people looked me with the strange eye and I thought I might crumble. I kept saying to myself that I have become stronger and those staring eyes can’t demoralise me. Shortly, I met my teacher, she talked to me very pleasantly and could see the pain in my eyes and how odd I was feeling in the new environment. She talked to me and listened my concern as if she was my mother. That empathy which she showed while hearing my problems, gave me relief. It was the beginning of the end, where I realised if I could share my problems rather than keeping them to myself, I can get over my them.
Nowadays, I have become a person who will leave the house in the middle of the night to an unknown territory and meet new people to learn from their stories and struggles. I have lived in a stranger’s house, have had food in their house. I always had communication problem while I was interacting with people, but when I interacted with Europeans mainly from non-English speaking countries, I learned that they can't speak English perfectly and yet are happy with their lives.
Inspired by all the struggling moments in my life, I recently walked in the middle of wild monkeys in Rishikesh. I knew that they won’t harm me if I have the courage to walk in the middle of the path. There were around 50 monkeys and I knew that they could rip me apart if they all attack or if I make a single mistake. I had to face them and unknowingly make eye contact with them, which almost unnerved me. The moment I reached a safer place, I realised, facing your fears isn’t easy, but the more you face it the lesser intense they become. You have to face them again and again to make yourself strong.
Despite all the inferiority complex that I faced throughout my childhood, I have gathered the courage to face all the fears that I have and have got confidence in me to face any challenge whatever the life throws at me.
