Every thing in this universe happens for a reason and even a stone in the river has a long story to tell.A person behaves in a way that he does because there are many things in his life that have influenced him to be that way.The personality that a person has, is a result of years and years of things in the past that the person has experienced.

I was a very jolly kid who liked to hang out with my friends in school but there was an accident which embarassed me in front of the whole class. Now I was just in the 5th grade and already I had realised that not all the people that tell you are their friends are genuinely with you, which lead to me having a very small circle of friends and having trust issues.That is how my personality had developed over the time and I had trouble taking people's opinion.

All my life I have been living in the comfort space that I have created where I just go with the flow and after my engineering graduation I was told to go for a job like everyone else but I had different plans for myself. I wanted to do an MBA and doing MBA straight after graduation seemed like a difficult task beacuse we had to compete with people who have actually experienced the outside world and would clearly have better understanding about how things work.

Being a mechanical engineering fresher did not help my profile to be preferred over the others but I took it upon myself that I would give it my 100% and nothing could stop me getting through to a premier B-school.Here I am trying to hold my ground and excited to face the new challenges I am going to face and by the way only dead fish go with the flow.
