An Interview with Mehekka Oberoi, TYBMS Sem 5 Topper, Podar College (85.83%)
“On the path of success always lies big Os. Some read them as obstacles
while some read them as Opportunities.”
You can dream of horizons bigger than anyone’s imagination but how you go about accomplishing those dreams is the key to your success. Dream to achieve what you desire. It feels great when you see your dreams coming true but for it to come true you must have a dream. DREAM BIG….DREAM CRAZY, DREAM and DREAM and any one of you can be a topper and I’m not kidding.
Take up an idea and act on it. Make that one idea your life. Think of it, dream of it, and live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, and every part of the body be full of that idea and leave all other ideas alone. This is the way to success. Never ever think of defeating something, it should always be about Winning. We often think that I want to get more marks than this girl or that boy and if this is what your aim is, then success will not come your way. You should set your own targets and ACHIEVE THEM FOR YOURSELF and not for defeating someone else, now that’s a lot of philosophy but this is something that works.
I owe my success to many people in my life. God has been kind to me i am what i am today because of his grace and blessings. The omens on the way were my family, my friends and mostly my teachers at R.A.PODAR college- an institution which has changed my life. I owe my success to the teachers here: Prof S.J.Gujarathi for all his guidance though he was strict at times in getting the work done and I use to feel very unhappy about it but later i realised he did for my good so that I can give my best. Prof Prashant Shelar for motivating me to take up tasks and doing them to the best of my efforts. I really thank sir for always giving me opportunities and helping me build the confidence I possess right now and my dearest Prof.USHA Rao for her guidance and love. I call my teachers an omen in my life and of-course my friends as well they were the biggest motivators for me, they are the one who always believed in me and were there with me all through this journey of BMS. Thank You all.!
Now coming to challenges that a student face:
Challenges are for those who perceive things as obstacles and i never took anything as an obstacle everything happened because it was meant to happen so if one thinks this way the major challenge “STRESS” is eliminated. Today we youngsters are always stressed up by the deadlines, project completion, submission time, exams and many more things but when all these things are done just for enjoying the process they are fun. Marks scored must not be the evaluation of ones capability because they are not the true reflection of your potential. Just because I TOP does mean that I have more capabilities, its just that I KNOW MY POTENTIAL and EXPLORE it to the fullest.
AIM IN LIFE
I wont be talking about my future plans or my aim in life. I think none of you will be interested in knowing what is that i wish to do and you should not be interested, this may sound little rude but my friend you should be interested in YOUR AIM in life because WHAT you aspire to become is more important for you than knowing what i aspire to be. Just a piece of advice: Whatever you do or whatever you become should not be because it pays you more or it is going to secure your future but it should be done because you have passion for it. PASSION is the key to success and whatever you do and you become you must never forget that you are a part of society and you need to fulfil your responsibilities towards it in any way you can.
There is a particular saying that i love : EK DIN BANDEYA AE UDD JANA PALAT KE ANA NHIN MANAV JANAM AMOL HAI BANDEYA AINHU GAWANA NHIN ( difficult to translate it in English but let me try) : The human body will eventually vanish one day and along with it will be gone the opportunity to serve your level best, so don’t waste this life given by Almighty to you. Make something useful of your life.
People will remember you by your deeds and not by your name.
BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE…
Go make it Happen.
