Now, that those uninhibited summers are over, and I look to create a space to call my own in the corporate sector, it’s far too easy to let the overwhelming-ness consume me. The view from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link is usually a great reminder that all my problems are tiny, if not minuscule. It is courtesy the tonnes of UltraTech Cement that I can let the grandiose of the sea-link engulf me, without trembling in fear of dying. Far from home, as I stand (a rather loose interpretation for pushing and being pushed) in the queue in the canteen, I miss “ghar ka khaana”, hot and invitingly packed in FreshWrap foil. While missing home, the only respite comes from making a dozen phone calls back home, from wanting opinion on which formal shirt from Van Heusen to buy, to swearing my siblings to secrecy over the present I got for my mum from Forever 21.
I began this essay trying to verbalize how big the Aditya Birla Group is in my life, but as I draw it to a close, I am reminded of my English teacher who would have implored me to word it right- Why Aditya Birla Group is Colossal in my Life.
