The year is 2005, my father is posted on Assam border and I am living with my mother and siblings in Meerut, we get our first mobile phone and the subscriber is none other than Idea and it is our only source of connection with my father. Today, as I picture that time in my mind, I am all nostalgic and emotional. Later in 2007, when my father decided to make a house of our own, the cement we used was Ultratech. Few years back when I started working, I wanted to gift my mom a dress. Considering her subtle and simple taste, it was getting really confusing to pick any brand. That’s where Pantaloons came to rescue. No matter what happens, that gift from my first salary will always be special and so will be Pantaloons. All these incidents never made as much sense as they are making now as I connect all of them with one single root that is Aditya Birla Group.
From now on, I am going to keep a detailed check on every product that I will consume and I am sure ABG will have its share in that as well, because such is the reach and charm of ABG.
What good is a life without challenges!
Biggest irony of life is that everyone wants a happening one but no one is ready to welcome the challenges that it brings along. What good is a life if you don’t have a story to share! Every story comes from an experience and there is always a challenge behind these experiences. Now, if I describe my own life I would say it has been a complete roller coaster. I have seen myself changing from a complete introvert, shy and geeky child to an extremely bold, extrovert and rational guy that I am today.
As a child I would always find other boys to be bossy and dominating because of which I was often bullied and it was really difficult to make friends. Things could turn worse have I not been a bright student in studies, being a scholar I started getting special attention from teachers. It was them who encouraged me to take part in different student engagement activities which led me on a beautiful journey of self-awareness. I believe if someone is not aware about his own behaviour then his entire knowledge about the outside world is useless. My harsh childhood experiences would always make me think twice before getting involved in any sort of work. I would analyse, introspect and analyse again before starting anything new, all this gave me a deeper insight of everything that I have been involved with.
By the time I joined college I was a completely different individual who was confident, expressive and full of fun but my emotional side was still weak. Last few years taught me some great lessons about life. With each day passing by, I have been growing stronger, be it on emotional or professional grounds. All these years I have learned to live alone and on my own for quite some time which made me stronger than ever. Holding on to the thought that “last year this day everything was so different and so will be next year” has always helped me live strong and powerful.
So even if, “what is life?” will always be a question, I will always find my way to decipher a meaning out of it that is sensible enough to make me continue on this beautiful journey that is life.
