PART A. ABG - The Pillars of Life - TAPMITurn your eyes around and you can see a product of Aditya Birla Group. From nano carbon particles used in tires to ultra tech cement used in building bridges and buildings to big fashion brands to vast mobile network, they have left there prints everywhere.Certainly, they have all made an impact on my life. Starting from the beginning of my life when I was about 10 years of age, I knew nothing about Aditya Birla Group but I knew Pantaloons. That brand name was imprinted on every child’s mind. I was happy to flaunt my fancy t-shirts and jeans among my friends. As I grew up, I came to know about Aditya Birla Group when I first heard about the ultra tech cement. The strong standing walls of my home has protected me since I was 4, whether it was rain, sun or cold winters. The walls had also sometimes worked as a page of notebook for me. It was fun writing and drawing on the walls. I was 20 and I came to know a lot of things about this group. This was not only about the clothes I wore or the home I lived in, it was much more than that. As you step outside, you will see that you are actually surrounded by their products and services. The bridges I travelled on, the flights I took, the cars I drove, they have all helped me to reach at a certain point in my life. And how can I forget about the vodafoneidea network, the perfect partner you can rely on. It helped me remain connected to my favourite ones and the outside world even on the top of a mountain. I’m on Vodafone from the past 5 years and there was not a single time I had second thoughts about changing my network.Yes, it has made a huge impact on my life. Maybe I wouldn’t have been here, where I’m today. Maybe the world would have been much behind. Who knows?PART B. Getting Through Life – TAPMIChallenges are a part of everyone’s life and you cannot escape it. They make you stronger and better. Life would have been boring without challenges. No challenge is small for the one who is facing it.I too have faced many challenges. It all started when I was just 9 months old. Yes, standing and walking on my own feet was a big challenge for me back then and with practice and motivation I did learn to walk. When we look back today, it all seems so easy that is because they make us stronger. As I grew up, I faced many more challenges. Getting good grades throughout my academics was one of them. As I passed 12th class, getting an admission in a good undergrad college was a tough challenge for me. But I got admitted in a “not so renowned” college. This taught me a lesson that with success comes failure as you face challenges. Four years later I was again facing the same challenge but this time I was prepared, I didn’t make the same mistake. I worked hard and got admitted in a renowned b-school. As of today, I’m not the same man I was 10 years ago or 5 years ago or even an year ago.I would like to say that don’t take challenge as a problem rather take it as an opportunity that will help you get better and learn new things.
