A Short Story Telling

“Don't settle, as with all matters of the heart you'll know when you find it”

Standing on the platform in Hyderabad of Telangana to board a train which is my most preferable mode of transport as it gives an opportunity to introspect and think something about future which elevates one’s personality and gives a lot of scope for interaction with people. My journey is headed to Dehradun. I still remember the journey to the same destination 12 years ago headed to join MBA College from my hometown where I did my graduation after a few days of stay at home after my two years of professional career looking for greater heights in my career. Joining UPES gave me most of my first experiences, the new experiences range from most simple to life changing experiences. I made many friends, met great individuals and started exploring my limits by devoting my entire potential by learning something in each and every interaction.

Time passed by, one year went like a blink of the eye. I have made my mind in a segment of the Indian Power Sector which I found would well suit my capabilities and identified a firm which is known for its excellence in the sector and luckily I got into the same firm for the 2-month Internship and headed for the college looking for campus placements. I was somewhat stressed to face the interviews because I was thinking whether I would be able to cracking the Interview and would I be able to justify the skills, grades I have, at that time I have realized that getting high grades like 9.5/10 is not only a thing of pride but also a challenge to justify. Though I faced rejections in one or two firms I quickly regained my strength and made myself strong before the next opportunity and eventually landed in to the company which I have dreamed after knowing the sector and did my internship.

Today I was invited by the College to accept the award for the Entrepreneur of the year. It was all possible with all the experiences I got from the College. Academic knowledge was not only the addition to my life in fact, it was the personal learning I would give more weightage. It was all possible because of the diversity which I was exposed to at that time and my pressure handling which I have learnt acting as the Class Representative managing around 60 students.
