For the love of CA

I am into the course of Chartered Accountancy as a student and will soon be a professional manager. But this had a long school boy tale behind it.

My friend asked me a question that what would have been my role if I had not chose to do my CA. To start with I was greatly interested in cricket as a stereotype guy but I missed the chance. I excelled in badminton but I sacrificed. I did great work at football but sacrificed. Sacrificed few really good opportunities. Just for the love of CA. But I dint know what exactly CA was all about. One said you need to be good at numbers. The other said you need to brilliant in accounts. One said you need to be analytical.

Cricket

This brought me the chance of playing cricket that could perhaps would have turned my life. Perhaps! I did good at bowling as a spin bowler as my flight of the ball left few great batsman comment. I did good as a fieldsman. The urge for a spin bowler in a team of 12 worked my way. I saw the green tick on the selectors list as I bowled out the prominent player for a duck. The selector asked me to assemble the next day around 4 that was after my regular classes. We had one full week to send the team list to the organizers. I did assemble the next day. He wished my presence in the team forgetting all the age difference. I was very happy. That day I thought I could disclose it to my parents officially as all the rituals were on the way. I first told my mom. She inmmediately went wild and said this was not the right choice for my career. She said I could get hurt by a cricket ball. I took to plead her. She was totally against and not happy atleat that I was selected. I asked my dad. He said adhere to what your mom says for she knows what I right or wrong for you. Absolutely a sentimental product but a nice human. I went to my selector the next day morining. I said that I was not interested to participate. The selector immediately took to nerves and started abusing me for my cowardice. I couldnt help it. My place was replaced by a new guy who took good batting discipline. Boost cup got few good opportunities to excel talents Madurai and Coimbatore matches. But everything was over my head. My first, for the love of CA but no regrets.

Badminton

My school was lucky all the time as it had atleast one setback in any of its initiative. I was lucky all the time as I had the stuff to fill it. Yes exactly the game of badminton alias shuttle. My school lacked a good combo for a badminton match. There was a great guy who just needed a complimenting player to fill the gap. Few of them felt I had good reflexes like Ali the one in Chetan Bhagat's story. Even they felt I could get close to the great player. That evening the PT coach of my school wanted to meet me. I did acknowledge. He said we love the way you complement as a combo. We feel we can take our school to great heights with that great player. I was happy the same way. I took it to my mom. This time she said my career as a White collared person is more important than all this. As ususal the game ended sucessful to my mom. This time I dint take it to my dad as I knew what would happen. I was put to thorns. The next day I went to my PT coach and withdrew my name. I was labelled a cowardice. The match did seem to go well for our school as there was no good complemeting player as a combo. The second one, for the love of CA but no regrets.

Football

For this game I had good welcomes from both school and outside meaning a different resource to expose my talents. Task was easy for football because there was lot of opportunities to bring in young interested products to football. I had a good resource person my dad's friend who said that he would take me to camp where there can be a immediate selection to my name. I did really excellent job as a football player in the area of defence, as well as a goal keeper. I was good at passes and dribblles. I was outstanding at goal keeping. Chances were bright this time. I thought I should make it this time. The first chance came unexpectedly from my school in the inter school football competition. It flew off my way because I said I need to focus on studies. I was this time termed a nerd. But the team also din't progress. But w.r.t the football camp, my lovely mom this time had a different reason stating the reasons for my health conditions. Everything jammed before I could enforce. Oohps! I was tired. My third one for the love of CA but absolutely no regrets I said.

Now I am doing a very prestigiuos course with good interest. From where I was in my school to where I am now is all what god has blessed me.
