I was visibly in a state of euphoria for a few days since I got to know I would be spending my next two years at the "Mecca of Supply Chain and Operations, NITIE". However, reality set in pretty soon as I realized it was time for one of the most exasperating yet critical aspects of joining a B-School which was buying formal wear.
Trying on each of the blazers and formal pants from the omnium gatherum at the Pantaloons store made me feel empowered as an individual, as I realized the importance of being well-dressed not only helps grab eyeballs but also a strong feeling that can best be described as an amalgam of confidence and individuality. The fifteen months-long journey of preparing for and cracking CAT, asserted to be one of the toughest examinations in the country and finally getting into B-School was about to end, only to open up an unexplored avenue for me.
It would not be an exaggeration if I say I shall always remember the look on my parents' face when I walked out wearing my blazer. It was a sense of pride and fulfillment they felt after realizing that their little son was not so little anymore.
Having stayed in the same locality throughout my entire childhood, adolescence and early years of adulthood, I have always treasured my parents and friends. They play a pivotal role in my life and help me with my daily decisions, be it life-altering or simple advice on what slim-fit outfit to wear to an event. This is why I am so thankful towards present-day technology and network operators as I can see faces of my near and dear ones, or hear their voices at any time of the day.
A day which involved something as simple as shopping would have been so dreadful if I did not have Vodafone Idea bridging the gap between me and my family which helped them advise me on what to pick for myself.
