It was during August last year (2018) when I decided that I want to pursue an MBA in my life and started preparing for my CAT which was to take place in November 2018.
I took all notices of my past records and evaluated that I needed to score high to make it to any good B-School and started meticulously preparing for CAT. But it was on 18th September 2018 that my father while returning from morning walk was hit by a bus from behind
leaving him with multiple fractures in his hand, leg, and ribs.
All of sudden life took a deadly turn against me; I was juggling between many things from my work to CAT preparations already. But, looking upon my father’s condition I decided that an MBA could wait for a year as my father’s health should be the major concern for me. Hospital, Home, and Father became the epicenter of my life till October-2018. The thought of CAT vanished from my mind.
Upon shifting him from ICU to a normal ward in a hospital in Oct-18, my father strongly insisted that I should start preparing for CAT 2018 again and to leave the rest on the almighty. Taking his advice as a sign of god, I wholeheartedly plunged in to prepare for the CAT-18, burning the midnight oil and to my surprise, I was able to score whopping 97.15 Percentile in my CAT with just a month
of serious preparations and was able to convert IIM Raipur.
With this experience in my life, I realized whatever may be challenging, whatever the conditions may be, but where there is will, there is surely a way.
