Aditya Birla Group has been an integral part of my and my families life. Ultra tech cement was used in the construction of my house in Bhopal. When i started using cell phones for the first time the sim that i used was Idea. In every formal occasion from interviews, to seminars, to presentations and client meetings I always wore formals from Van Heusen. So the Aditya Birla Group has always helped me in every possible way throughout my life and with the wide range of products on offer this group connects with its customers on a whole different level.
I was obese throughout my life of 20 years. I was always bullied at school, college. In school it was bearable as all the students had been my friend from a long time and I was able to get through by bossing them because of my weight. But as soon as entered college things got worse, being a day scholar my interaction with students staying in hostel and other college friends was minimum because of which I was not able to create any bond with them. Day after day the bullying at college became worse. I always found myself separated and isolated which lead to depression and I started eating more. My focus from studies was lost and from being a good academic student I became an average student at college. Everything seemed to be lost but I was a diehard cricket fan who would never miss a ball during India's match. One fine day while watching the match I overheard a line which might have been repeated during every match but that day it caught my attention like anything, the line was "You have not lost until the last ball has been bowled". For many people this might be a very normal line but for me it changed everything. In 4th year I weighed around 143 kgs with a height of 6 feet 2 inch. After realizing that everything is possible if I give in everything it requires , I straight away went to a doctor asked for some suggestions and joined a gym. After this day I never looked back. I did everything required right or wrong to loose my weight. I would skip meals, go to the gym two times a day, go on a liquid diet for 1 week straight and many other things. As a result of this I lost a whooping 19 kgs in the first month itself. This motivated me to a whole new level and I continued doing the same things day in day out. I would eat the same meals, I would never go to parties, never had late night meals even when I had interviews scheduled at night. And then finally as a result of all this hard work I was able to drop my weight from 143 kgs to 93 kgs in a span of just 5 months and got a placement too in a reputed company. This was a very important story for me and helped me realize my potential.
