How did I overcome challenges to achieve my ambitions in life so far?
Life is full of challenges. Isn’t it? My life has not been a roller coaster ride but not a smooth ride either. I have my bits of challenges in my personal as well as professional life. I wanted to be a cricketer when I was in school and I was pretty sure what do I want to make out of my life. I was passionate for the sport and gave my sweat and blood to it. I was in 10th std. and I was getting myself ready for the U-16 trial with all the energy and passion. Just a week before the trials, my back got injured. I couldn’t sit for the trials. It was like a curse for a fast bowler and I was one. I took the help of medication, therapy and what not. Nothing seemed to work. I couldn’t continue playing cricket. It was surely the lowest point of my life. We don’t get everything we want in our life, do we? We got to make the best of whatever we get. I continued my cricketing journey in college where I played as a batsman in Inter College competitions of Delhi University. Though I was not as good at batting as I was at bowling, I enjoyed to be a part of the team and to contribute in the best way possible.
I have also faced challenges at the workplace where the work pressure challenges our values, office politics question our decisions and difficult situations challenge our intellects. And it was tougher to manage the work along with CAT preparation, but I didn’t compromise on my work. Despite the challenges, I always enjoyed my work and did justice to the same. I had greater aspirations and I had been working hard to get close to it. Today I’m glad to be a part of IIM Trichy. The journey had been challenging but I made sure it’s worth it.
