"Both Achievers and Survivor" - Shubhra Singh (UCO Bank PO) - 33

In this gratifying moment I would like to share with you all, my amazing story of success.

If I can You can too...

Sunken eyes and a dull face,

no smile, not even it's trace.

Hurting legs and a staggering walk,

but head held high for I had to walk the talk.

Rotten lungs and a bruised heart,

there ain't no hair, but to hide is scarf.

This was I a few months back,

when I was hurt, when I had ache.

This is my story, story of an engineering graduate, an environment enthusiast, a novice writer and an MDR TB survivor. Life is full of surprises so even I received an unexpected surprise while I was working as an Associate Software Engineer at Accenture in the form of a diagnosis that came like a bolt from the blue in my life and turned it upside down. From my almost perfect corporate life in Bangalore I landed on an imperfect surface of a hospital and eventually to my home in Kanpur. Being completely bedridden for almost 6 months and thereafter struggling every single day with my daily chores, surviving on more than 20 pills a day, more than 200 injections on daily basis, and an extremely traumatic and depressing phase of my life I managed to get up each day with a hope in my heart, with a goal in front of my eyes and with a picture of my perfect future that only I could have build for myself. I managed to gather strength each day not only to strive for my goal but also to fight against all odds for one whole year which was full of ups and downs, goods and bads, accomplishments and disappointments too. My nanaji said to me once "Jeevan visham panth chalta chal, uth sangharshon se ladta chal" and I tied this quote to my heart and then never looked back to the time that I lost and it was because of my amazing family that supported me at each and every step, a few wonderful friends who kept me motivated and superb guidance of my teachers that kept me going and sailed me through the exam. It is because of so many people behind me who prayed for me, and who blessed me that I was able to crack IBPS PO and today I am a PO in UCO Bank. So all I want to say is just keep your spirits high, keep trying harder and never give up because if I can You can too...

Thanks and Regards
