How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life?
Coming from a defense family background, I had to be always averse to the constant change in environment, the longing of constant friendship, craving for the sight of his parents together and yet putting up a strong front on the outside and toughening up on the inside. Before I start off on my journey of life let's start off by introducing myself. I am an engineer by accident, a footballer by passion, a writer by serendipity, pursuing an MBA by choice.
From being the golden schoolboy who aspired to do all the things he dreamed of to being the school head boy commanding 3000 schoolchildren; From being an overweight unsociable schoolkid to being a state level football player; From being a shy introvert hesitating to express his feelings to fighting my fear of stage fright and being the best speaker at several debate and extempore competitions; From failing in math in class 8th to being addicted to number crunching and falling in love with the theorems of tomorrow; From following the herd mentality and rushing into engineering from IITs to discovering my true calling in the domain of marketing; From pursuing the ventures of instant gratification to finally realizing the virtues of hard work and patience; From being the best performer at the initial few months of my job to the frustrations of not being able to sustain revenue targets; From the thought of having my life figured out to the reality of quitting my job and heading into the gloomy scenarios of seeking employment; From the failure of being unable to crack CAT and facing 16 job interview rejections and 3 SSB rejections to keeping my calm and maintaining the sense of belief in myself; From being the highly pampered kid being fed with the golden spoon to deepening bonds with my parents and understanding the sacrifices made for me; From having nothing to lose to wanting to win everything in sight; From being shrouded in the cloud of darkness and cluelessness to being endowed with the light of IIM Raipur and persevering through the maze of life. The above is the summation of my life experiences. And looking back nothing makes me happier because it led me on my journey to find myself. After all, one can only connect the dots on looking backward.
