Why Aditya Birla Group is big in my life.
Taking the sunrise narrative forward, brands from ABG have always ensured that like them, I too aim for excellence and like a watchful guardian, have always backed me to be the best all the while equipping me with the best instruments to be able to do so. My very first encounter from the group would be the pantaloons store which had a rich and wide variety of clothing, which were my very first serious wardrobe collection at the start of my teenage years. This was followed by Van Heusen and Allen Solly as I entered my young adult phase and made my way through undergrad college, forming new friends and bonds along the way. The combination of pantaloons and Van Heusen gave me a completely fresh rejigged look to start my under graduation.
Peter England was my companion when I went for my first formal date in college at Great India place, Noida. It gave me a crisp and approachable look befitting the occasion perfectly. The informal casuals PE has is full of variety collection that caters to everyone’s taste and personal preferences.
Finally, the advent of adult life that required me to be responsible and capable, a full-fledged business suit from Louis Philippe gave me the impetus to pursue my dream with zest and focus for excellence be it project presentations, job interviews or post-graduation college interviews.
Also, I would like to specially mention that even though I did not own a cell phone in my schooling, the advertisement “Walk & Talk- What an idea sirji!” was a phenomenon that was trending and had the whole nation buzzing about it.
Part B: How I’ve dealt with my challenges so far
Challenges to me are any activities, events, or anything which has been unknown to me till that point of time and I have absolutely no knowledge of it at that particular moment.
The challenges can be as small as studying about a subject of which I have no prior knowledge about or as major as giving job interviews at various campus placement companies or post-graduation PI, GD’s and extempore.
In a summary, anything of which I have no prior knowledge about can become a challenge for me.
My first and foremost reaction to any of this reactions is to become well equipped regarding the particular topic and practice till I have confidence that I will be able to handle the situation in a successful and satisfactory manner.
After having gained the experience and knowledge, the subsequent times become less and less challenging and I even develop the confidence to develop newer, better and innovative ways of approaching the situation provided.
Sometimes, situations arise of which I might not be fully prepared of or have adequate solution about. In these scenarios, I try to clear my mind by taking deep breaths and drinking small sips of water to prepare myself. A most recent and relatable example would be during the final year of my B.Tech graduation, the students are supposed to present a major project which is innovative in itself.
While the project was good and we were prepared, the external evaluating us asked us some typical questions which we were not fully able to explain. So I dwelled deeper into the project’s mechanism and explained to him how the project is not a waste but rather aims to be creative, cost effective and efficient.
The external in the end was very impressed by our approach and even though I don’t know how he evaluated us since my final semester results are still awaited, but the internal teacher later told us that the examiner was satisfied and most importantly, impressed by the methodology and ideology behind the project.
Hence, that day, I learned that everything cannot be prepared beforehand and some things need to be thought on the feet too and delivered to the best in the shortest time possible.
