Much like in such a big conglomerate, I prepared for myself an early blueprint of life, which gave me enough confidence to shrug away small disappointments. So to say that I have seen hardships at such a tender age would be an overstatement and an insult to the fortunate life I have had so far. But -much like everyone else - I have, time-to-time, resigned to ultimately impotent expressions of frustration when I felt sequestered and looked for alternatives when there were none. The most challenging emotional moment came in my life when we had planned for the most exciting ones – we were on a trip to Goa looking for deep reflections before our paths diverged finally. One of the members of our squad met with a major accident- to an extent that even after more than two years he hasn’t been able to recover completely.
Today when I look back, I only see these moments as when I had to take necessary beatings in order to just let that roughness pass. Overcoming challenges and finding my own niche has been the guiding principle in shaping up what I am, and it taught me that if you are young, or at least if you think you’re young everything is an opportunity; every time you feel uncomfortable there’s an opportunity for you to grow as a person. And it is these tough moments I sometimes count as my blessings. Though I never thought that I can simply snap my gauntlet fingers and right every wrong, I still believe that I can right all my own mistakes and collect myself, when required, by standing upright every time I am brought down.
