So now, when I hear of Aditya Birla, it gives me immense pleasure as I feel proud to be associated with a company which has been trying to make the world a better place, making it sustainable. It felt good when the company I have been dealing with has been so responsible towards the people, the villages, the children and the nation.
My Challenges made me #stronger
Sometimes what you desire is right in front of you, all you need is to gain some courage, accept it and work for it. I was already 27 years old, working at Cognizant technology solutions as a business developer and my manager always picking on me while family pressurizing to get married. My parents wanted me to get married before my father retire and were concerned about my sister who is just a year younger to me and was not working. I did not want to get married and I was dogging that discussion every then and now whenever my parents used to call. I wanted to tell them that I want to do MBA. I had some other plans for myself. I wanted to tell them that if they could give me some more time, I could do better. I didn’t want to settle. I wanted to do well so that I can be the son. I wanted to take care of them, but I was afraid to confront. How could I say that I want to leave the job, study again when my father was just going to retire in few months ahead and sister still pursuing her final year.
I was getting depressed day by day. Neither could I settle for what my parents had planned nor I had the courage to tell them my plans. I had stopped talking to my family & friends and had started misbehaving as well in order that to avoid discussions. I started hurting the people I love. I forgot that my parents are the most understanding parents one can ever have, I forgot the support I had received so many times earlier. I forgot that they have always raised me good without doubting my abilities. I was thinking about these all the time and this was visible in my work as well. My manager would have long hours of discussion and I was getting so restless and angry that I decided that there is no way I can work in that company anymore and I would resign soon. One day I gained courage and without discussing anything, without telling anyone I registered myself in a coaching institute and started preparing for CAT 18’. I started liking it, I was getting busier but started gaining confidence slowly and was feeling much better. My parents noticed the change, they kept asking me about the busy schedules but I would lie every time still fearful whether they would support me or not. After few months I thought about sharing my plans with my parents and convince them, still afraid of their reaction. Anyway, I gained courage and I told them and to my surprise they were very happy with my decision. They supported me. They told me had I told them earlier, nobody would have suffered. I started pushing myself even harder. Since then I have received immense support from my parents. They have been standing strongly besides me. I am glad that I shared my feelings with my family.
