Anirudh: This Tamilian boy does indeed stand up to the legendary Tamilian academic brilliance. You would always find him in the front rows of the class. But there is a catch, without his notebook open. He simply remembers everything taught in class, mentally taking notes. You would always find him in the sports field for every event in our recently concluded sports meet. If you think he is very sportive, hold on! He is the chief of the morale booster group--- the cheerleading squad, so much so, that the opponents actually fear him more than the team players. His favourite line being, “saamne wale wide phek phek ke jeeta denge.”
Akansha: Nicknamed "Lady Yuvraj Singh" this left-handed batswoman evokes tremors in the opponents the moment she steps in to bat. This social butterfly is one of the “bro” in our class friend and helper of everyone. This live wire from Ghaziabad is one of the most aggressive and enthusiastic sportswoman of our batch. Her punch line being "Samne wale bhi Apne taraf se Khel rahe hain".
Charu: This beauty of our section is phenomenal on the basketball court. Coached for only 10 minutes she managed to help our team win. Perhaps she is the only player to ever throw the ball in the reverse way of the hoop the first time she attempted it!!
Nabanita: This company secretary is anywhere and everywhere in the campus events. Be it getting on the stage impromptu to playing every event in the sports field, or answers in the class this girl simply slays it and definitely goes the extra mile to perfection. Her speciality being- able to say the worst Hindi grammar but managing to make it sound funnily cute. Her latest being" Hum karta par hum jab aaya tob dor band tha".
Which Aditya Birla Group company I want to work for and why:
The ABG Company I want to work with is the Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. I have always been strongly attracted towards the fashion industry and I closely follow fashion shows. In times, where Indian youth is increasingly attracted towards anything foreign, it is amazing how Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail leading brands with Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, Allen Solly, Peter England, Forever21, Pantaloons and the rest totally revolutionized the approach towards branding and retail shopping among the Indian youth. I have always been intrigued by the organization of fashion shows as I realize the months of planning, perseverance and perspiration taken to present an hour’s show. And I am excited to explore the managerial responsibilities of the fashion and retail world especially in the Red Ocean of the Indian market, where one needs to always be on their toes and innovative and creative in the apparel brand launch and delivery.
