About Myself

Since this is my first attempt at writing something, I might be a little bad but still have to start somewhere.
Hello. I'm Amrita Agrawal, B.Tech in Energy (Batch 2008-12) from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal. I've been born and brought up in Bhopal, the city of lakes. Received my education from St. Joseph's Convent School, Bhopal. The early days of life were more than what a person can ask for. Friends, family and school were perfect. I was an above average student, liked by my teachers. What more can a little girl ask for :-)

With the passage of time I got better, got involved in extra-curricular activities at school and being good at whatever I was doing. Time simply flew by. Came the higher secondary classes and I was busy preparing for IIT-JEE. I knew it before hand that I could not crack it. I was never so serious about the paper and when I took it seriously it was probably too late. But I never repent it, never feel bitter about not clearing the exam, not even in the extended merit list. I was happy with my AIEEE performance that landed me into NIT-B. :-D

It was an amazing experience that I had in these 4 years. It changed me as a person. It changed my perception of life. From an introvert idealistic person I transformed into an interactive practical engineer :-). And yes, I was always among the top 5 rank holders of the class; a position that I rarely managed at school B-). I've enjoyed each of every moment of being at MANIT. The friends I've made, the fights I've had, the trainings, projects and vivas. All of them. After all these things have shaped my life, made me the person I am today :-)

The last two years of my college were busy preparing for CAT (why these competitive exams never end). I fared well there since this time round I didn't repeat the JEE mistake. If I wasn't serious from the very beginning, atleast I didn't wait for the moment when things were out of control and hence I could manage a decent show when I wrote CAT 2011. Meanwhile, I got placed with Capillary Technologies that became my dream company the moment I attended its Pre-Placement Talk. Getting selected was a big moment of joy for me and now having convert an IIM, I'll have to let Capillary go :-( but then I'm sure better things await me in life.

This was all about me. Just one more thing and yet the most important. There's this one philosophy of mine in life that is responsible for what I am today and for all the happiness I'm bestowed upon: Whatever happens happens for good. I don't know how much truth lies behind this one line but it has kept me happy for years despite whatever ups and downs I've faced. Cheers for this wonderful life I have :-) :-) :-)
