YEH HAI MERI KAHANI.....SAROJ

Hey folks !!!
I hail from Damanjodi...a small township in the Koraput district of Orissa...i bet none of you have heard of this place...but you might have certainly heard of NALCO-ALUMINIUM REFINERY..tats in Damanjodi...a very calm and scenic place....Completed my schooling from DPS Damanjodi...those were the best days of my life...had a ball there...At DPS...i was a very studious and a focused kind of a guy...took life seriously...was the Head Boy of my school...passed as a SCHOLAR and a GOLD MEDALIST...topped my school in 10th and 12th...phew !!!!... those were days...

Ab aati hai twist...was a fanactic of Biology...just used to fall in love with the subject every time i studied...so wanted to be a world class...cardiac or a neuro guy....couldn't make it to a medical coll as a fresher...(curse the huge population !!!)....left all good NIT engineering seats...n dropped to prepare for that one coveted seat in a good coll...but one thing was decided...its now or never...so gave in everythng i could...landed in Delhi...to prepare....those were the most crucial days of my life...u ppl won't believe i used to put an average of 12-13 hrs every day studyin...n i never get bored...tat was a passion...now i can't even dream of it...cleared screening exams...but again couldn't make it big...

A big failure again...tough time of my life...then...kya god knows how i got a 205 rank in my state JEE even by sleeping away the whole 2 hr for maths section..but i got into engineering...had no idea of which stream should i opt for...n a little broken both mentally n phisically...so chipped into electrical engineering...bcuz tats wat i had in the first option...cut to engg. hostel...

1st year ...ahh again piled up the josh...n started studyin to find somethng out of my new life....
Bahut padha...n finally 9 cgpa le aaya...but then the crux of electrical engg. was u can never see the flux or the emf...suddenly got bored of all this....took a break from studies...n explored my self within...from my 2nd yr...never slept before 4 am....never have kept my eyes open in my classes...just got up for my roll call n slept...Now again a U-turn...

After 3rd sem...while travelllng back home...got my hand on a Buss. Today magazine...i started liking it...and i started liking it so much that in the next 3 months...i became an avid reader of Economic Times and any bizz magazine u name...n then one day...was surfing through the tech fests of IIT Kgp.. found out a Business Plan contest...didn't knw wat triggered me...but i thought i should put an entry...A wonderful idea struck me...(will not talk about it now..varna this post will run into a book...n junta maregi...) , and i spent my next 1 year developing the business plan...had the best experiences of my life in the process...learnt a lot...grew up as an individual....
n then it was fests n management events for me through out my engineering...couldn't clear a good bschool in my final year...i was too much into my Business plan...n then finally landed at TCS...did somethng i don't knw wat...but khub aish ki mumbai mein..suddenly the city of dreams is all set to take me to a new level...a new beginning...
