HERE'S THE TEA
Where do I begin? I am not the kind of person that usually thinks about myself a whole lot.
From a very early age, I have kept myself involved in various activities, always exploring and discovering new aspects of myself. Whether it was playing football in grade school or in college I took it upon myself to orchestrate and bring to fruition college festivals.
My ideal peace of mind is a busy mind. I loathe having to go through a mundane day more than having to wake up on a Monday. No two days are the same for me. Similarly, on two separate days, you’ll rarely see the same me. I’m like two sides of the same coin, I could be listening to psychedelic music on my way to work and then instantly switch to quintessential Bollywood music once I step foot in the office.
If I had to tell someone the secret to my survival tactics for daily life, it would be movies and food.
My father is responsible for waking up the cinephile within me. Before I could even speak or comprehend life around me, I would sit down beside him and binge-watch all classic Bollywood blockbusters.
This is the age I can look back to as having a photographic memory. During school, I would always have a tough time remembering the periodic table, but could effortlessly quote ‘Jab We Met’ word for word. Although, as I grew up the tables turned. My father introduced me to Madhuri Dixit, and now I have introduced him to Mad Men.
I have always been an overachiever. So much so, that on my first birthday, while the other kids were still getting comfortable with walking, I hoisted myself up against the speakers and was grooving to the sound of music. I learnt how to dance before I could even run.
This is one hobby that has taught me to be flexible, and fluid-like, with my daily life. It’s what makes me a malleable person, where I adapt to my surroundings and necessarily shape myself. Grasping and learning new things has never seemed like a daunting task.
If you’ve ever heard the term “Jack-Of-All-Trades”, then you’ve truly understood me. My strength lies in always being open to trying new things and doing my best at it. Mediocrity is not an outfit that has been tailored for me so I have an obsessive-compulsive desire to always be the best at what I do. I’m constantly competing with myself, to be better than I was the previous day, and this ambition is what drives me to get out of bed every day and make my place in the world.
In the ever-dynamic advertising world, an adaptable person is a person who is left standing when the dust settles. I am a professional, that is ready to put in the time, effort, energy and hard work that goes into thriving in the marketing world.
I hope this best sums up my life so far and gives you a better understanding of who I am. But to be honest, I might be all that I have put down here, but I am so much more than just words.
