“I just knew that it was the moment that I was
waiting for. It was going to be the best and the biggest moment of my life.
This moment was going to decide my future and was going to create a benchmark
in my family.”
Schools and colleges are the best time of human
life or I should say second best because the childhood deserves the first
position. We meet new friends, we learn and we grow wiser in colleges and
schools. School is the beginning platform and colleges are the main foundations
which shape our future and a strong foundation always leads to strong final
outcome. After finishing my schooling I started with my +2 and medical
preparations simultaneously. My dad wanted me to crack AIPMT on the very first
go and I did not know as of yet that what I wanted but yet I studies for my +2
and medicals too. It was the end of +2 finals when I realized that Medical or
being a doctor was not my cup of tea, although I sat foe the states as well as
the AIPMT for my dad’s satisfaction. And like I said I knew what was going to
happen. I passed out with a great percentage in my board but got very poor rank
in my medical examinations. I made up my decision and left Medicals then and
there not even knowing what I was going to do next.
I was a on a tour to Kolkata with few of my
friends. We were staying at a friend’s apartment where I met a guy who was
working for The Taj Bengal, Kolkata. He asked me about my studies and what I was
going to do after my results. I told him the whole story and he said me to try
the hospitality industry which I was completely unaware of. I had no Idea what
did hospitality means and what was it all about. I sat with him for the whole
night gaining the knowledge of the course and the industry. And it was 3 in the morning we decided to go
to bed. That was the moment which I felt was promising and was going to help me
get somewhere. I was filled with hopes of a golden ray and was so optimized
that the very next morning I went to the college he passed out from bought admission
forms for me filled it and submitted it then and there. I returned back home talked
to my mom and got some positive response from her too. I was more certain now that
I was going to graduate with a BA in Hospitality management and was going to
fly high.
A week later I got a call from IIHM (International
Institute of Hotel Management) that I have been short listed and I need to
appear for an interview. I appeared for the interview got and selected too. I
gave 3 years of my life to that course and those were the best three years of
life that I had lived yet. I got a chance to visit and work and attend
workshops at all the major 5 star hotel chains in Kolkata. I also went for my
industrial training at the The Park Kolkata and when I was done with my college
I got place at The Vail Resorts, Vail Colorado, USA. I worked there for a year
and a half and got promoted and transferred to Malaysia. I also got a chance to
work at Singapore and UAE.
Today I am well settled with an Event Management
business of my own. And all thanks goes to that dude who enlightened my way
that I have travelled. That night gave me a moment which optimized me and gave me a hope that someday I was going to be my own boss and today I am. Housing helps
