My Success Story

Here I am sharing my first story in this plateform, which is all about my determination during MBA college days at LNMI, Patna.

Our 3rd semester exam was about to start in 2010. Usually our classes continued till 7 days prior to the exam. Everyone was busy in preparation for the exam including my self at a higher node. Everything was running normal but just 7-8 days prior to the exam I was suffering from fever, weakness and body pain. Initially I was thinking that it may be because of weather change and harassment. But within 3-4 days my health was falling day by day and become serious and just before 3 days of exam I was not even in a position to walk for 100-150 meteres.

Then consulted one physician of Patna. He has suggested for some check ups and blood test. I had followed the instruction and after generation of report, submitted the same to doctor and after knowing the SGPT and Bilirubin level I was totally socked. SGPT was at more than 400 and Bilirubin was at more than 10 points. Doctor prescribed some medicine and suggested complete bed rest for at least a month. I informed him that my MBA 3rd sem exam is about to start in the coming 2 days, he simply told it is risky and I never suggest you to sit even for 15 minutes. So dont play with your life. I was in deep dilema, what to do?? because I didnt want to lose a year. Despite of fear in my mind I decided not to inform the same to my home because if it is so then they will never allow me to face the exam and elder brother or father will come and forced me to go home which is arround 300 KM from Patna. With heavy mind came to room with my room partner. He along with some other juniors who were staying in the same lodge told me to inform the same to my home and dont take the risk, 1 year of backlog in study is not a serious concern, your health is more important.

I knew that they are right but I have nothing to lose, I cant even think for backlog. Here I want to mention that at that time our family economic condition was not so good and I was bearing most of the expenses myself from teaching math to 10+2 students. So already it was late and one year loss will be disastrous for me. In this tough situation I decided to think with calm, take 30 minutes rest, and 15 minutes meditation and then after took a very hard decision not to inform the same health condition to my home and will face the exam at any cost. It was my inner heart and determind mind who brought me in a position to be calm and cool, on the other hand, thought that if I lose my patience then it will be very difficult for me to face this situation. I had finally told about my decision to them, they became very much tensed and again requested please rethink for the same. I replied its enough, now I will not change my decision but I need your help and care for my health, kindly arrange all the facilities so that I can take full bed rest here. They really supported me a lot in this regards and I am really thankful to all of them.

Now an another matter I had to solve since I was not in a position to write the exam by sitting on desk and if any one have to write the exam on bed in case of some critical condition then request application should submit to college administration 5-6 days in advance, because of many formalities are there to complete, like registrar and director's recommendation and final permission from the secretory ,education minister Bihar govt. All these things were making me in tension but finally thought lets see, will try my best and give maximum effort to appear in the exam.

Now just after 2 days despite so much pain in the body reached to college 2 hours before the exam and with application and all the reports along with doctors prescription submitted to the examination controller. He was totally shocked and scolded me what are you doing??, Are you mad?? Dont play with your life, you will get a chance next year to complete your degree, it is not a bigger issue if you lose 1 year. I told him, sir I have nothing to lose, trust me, allow me to appear in the exam with bed facility. Kindly do all the formalities because not so much of time left in starting of the exam. With him some other professors also requested that don't take risk. At last they agreed and supported my decision and praise on my commitment and patience level and surprisingly within one and half hours all the formalities has been completed. I allowed to write the exam in chairman's room where bed and sofasets are available.

The exam started now, it was very painful for me, but I was regularly trying to write despite of tearing from eyes because of pain in whole of the body. Some time sitting, some times in sleeping position, turning right and left, I continued my writing with 5-10 minutes break in every 30-40 minutes. In regular interval i was taking glucose and juice. One thing I want to mention that there are some good things always in any ones life while facing tough time. Why I am telling this because since this was 3rd semester and maximum papers belong to my major specialisation subject 'Finance' and in 'Finance' many numerical questions came in the examination paper where no need to write so much thing in details. I was stronger in my specialisation paper in comparison to other one. So I was not having so much of problems of solving the questions, only difficulty in writting comfortably. Many of invigilators were really not feeling good and have sympathy on my current conditions- like tear in eyes, in every 5-6 minutes changing my gesture and posture position. Even today when I am remembering the same, my eyes become teary and can feel the sensation in my body.

Finally 1st paper completed and then many of class friends came to me and met, many praised while many suggested why are you taking risk, but any ways I came to room and took rest. Now remaining 6 papers were still to go. Next paper same story repeated and up to 5th paper I was suffering from lots of pain, but slowly slowly health is becoming normal, thanks to room partner and others juniors who were taking care of my health. Prior to 7th and last paper again I was consulted the pathology centre and gave blood sample, in that report SGPT and Bilirubin level came down to 7.5 and 250 means there is some downfall in the level, which gave some relaxation in my mind.

Then the time came for the last paper of 3rd semester exam, I had decided to face this paper in the classroom as per seat arrangement. Initially examination controller suggested that it will be difficult for you as you are not comfortable to sit for longer period but lastly agreed. I have write the exam, although it was very tough for me because of pain while sitting. But taking 5-10 minutes break in every 35-40 minutes finally managed to complete the exam. I really thanks to all the teachers for taking care of my health during the exam.

All the papers were satisfactory because of specialisation paper. Examination controller and other professors praised me for my braveness, honesty and determination. Then I met with the same doctor with report and told him that I have appeared in all the exam, he surprised and socked. Finally he praised me and told I have never seen such type of person, I wish for your good health and bright future. I thanks him for his diagnosis and well wishes.

After the exam I shared all the things to my elder brother and then parents, they were tensed now, in very next morning, my elder brother came to Patna and I went to my home where I recover in just 15-20 days because of complete bed rest and complete precaution in fooding. Then after 25-26 days came back to Patna and joined the class. Now the time came for publication of 3rd semester result, and I really got emotional when shaw my name in the toppers list. Examination controller, placement incharge, admission incharge and some other professors, classmates congratulated me and praised me a lot which gave me lots of satisfaction and confidence and all these leads to more positiveness and positive attitude in my life.

That time is one of the best time of my life which I can not forget at any point of time. This incident helped me a lot in my professional carrier and even today help me to set the higher target and also in achieving the same. On the basis of this incident I can definitely say that there is a will, there is a way and one should not surrender till the completion of the work. One should not fear and keep patience during the tough time of life. Everyone should face the current situation with full of acceptance, for every problem, there is a solution because according to me problem does not exist without having a proper solution. Last but not least want to say that nothing is impossible if one chooses the right path and gives 100% effort.

Thanks
