My first impression of Arkss sir was that he really knows how to guide students in the GD-PI phase; and that gave me the peace of mind that I could convert my calls if I followed his instructions. He had an answer for every possible doubt or question we had. He also backed all his answers with anecdotes about past students' experiences relevant to the doubt. The best aspect of the program is the personalized mentorship and counselling one gets.
As Arkss sir and I had identified some weak points in my profile, most of our conversations centered on those areas, which helped me become more articulate in the interviews. Content development was the primary focus; and having more stuff to talk about helped me in stress interviews that involve a lot of cross-questioning. I feel that PDP Personalised is the best; as it offers mentorship under people who are alumni of the best B-schools of the country. Having known the process themselves, and interacting with students year after year, is an unbeatable combo available from the mentors.
My passion is my survival mechanism. What gets me out of bed every day is not getting bogged down by failures in life. All of us face failures; but I prefer looking at the solution, rather than fret over the problem. Passion for me lies in risk - in the willingness to step from the sidelines and onto the playing field.
After all, there is only one life, "Why so serious?"
Oscar Wilde and P G Wodehouse - I cannot put one above the other. Wilde, because he is extremely sarcastic. The beauty of his work is the ability to put together humor and the reality of life. Wodehouse, because he is amazingly wacky; and brings out the best of humor in English language. One ends up feeling rejuvenated after reading his work.
At different points in my life, different people have inspired me-both positively and negatively. My 7th-class Maths teacher inspired me to work hard, when she said I am not good at Maths. Anything that provokes me to take up a challenge is a source of inspiration and motivation.
