Pantaloons being my favorite as whenever I want to buy fashion apparels for me or for my family
and friends, all I could think about is Pantaloons. It has been my favorite shopping brand since a
very early age. I was born and brought up in Bhopal and when the first mall was opened, that was the
first time I visited Pantaloons and since that day I am shopping from pantaloons. It has all the variety
of clothes and the availability of store is never a problem. The best thing about this brand is that it's
best suited for middle class people. I wish to work for ABG someday as it has great career
opportunities and I believe It will help me grow and shape my future.
Challenges are a part of everyone’s life. Some people overcome them quickly while others take their
time. Some of us blame every possible thing that can be responsible for that and keep asking “why
me?”, while some people accept them and fight till the very end. Let me explain it with a story that is
very close to my heart.
I was standing with a paper in my shivering hands in front of my parents. Yes, it was my report card
of class 8th and we were in school. I had scored less in one subject. I had no excuses to tell my parents.
One week ago, me and my brother were sitting in my room and studying. We both had exams the next
day. Our parents were asleep. It was 11 pm and my brother was tired, and he would have slept if I
didn’t teach him. I used to teach him every then and now but that day I had no time to. Then, I thought
for a while, kept my books away and started teaching him. I did this because I thought, if I study for
two hours now, I will only score 5-10 marks more but if I teach him, he will definitely come first in
class.
On the result day after collecting my result, we went to take his result and I had a big smile on my
face as I saw his name on the black board written on the top with colorful chalks. Then years later
my brother had the same smile when I cleared CAT because a month before CAT I was struggling
with Quantitative ability as I had not studied math in the past 5 years. He taught me QM till the time
I was confident enough to write CAT. I used to score good in other two sections but Q.A was very
challenging for me as I was always weak at math. He taught me QM till the time I was confident
enough to write CAT. We studied day and night and finally I cracked it. This taught me two things.
First being taking right decisions at the right time and second being keep trying harder to overcome
challenges.
