Turning Point in my life

it is all greenary in my life..loads of fun..good old school days..homework, play and friends...this is what everyone does till the enigma called career takes a more important step in one's life.

this Career probably takes away all the childishness and brings in seriousness and a kind of desire to excel in life. Settle down like elders at home, feel like not end up like the romeo at the end of the street or the housewife in the neighbourhood.

After Intermediate..what next was the biggest problem which even i faced like many. Not lucky enough to write EAMCET and pursue engineering, my future seemed to be dark. Many advices from elders..go into Chartered Accountancy like ur brother....give an attempt to EAMCET.join Bcom, join BSC.....and many more. Well, it was my life and i had a desire to explore maximum opportunities within my reach that would give me a secure future.

At that point of time, BSc filed was in downtrend and there appeared to be very less opportunities . So option left was shift from Maths, Physics and Chemistry to Commerce.

A very tough and hard decision. this required loads of hard work. And only Bcom???not my cuppa tea..wanted to touch the skies..took up Company Secretaryship to find out how much can i achieve.

it was not a easy task, it required every bit of my brains , complete attention, no fun, no movies, no friends. Life was almost routine.go to coaching classes, attend Bcom classes, come home and read. where am I heading to????

my friends on the other hand made fun with what is known as Crushes, boy friends, movies and masti .........and what not!!!!!!!!

when i was in a dilemma to give up this tough days and end up in Bcom alone....there came a monthly test at Coaching. Baapre.here am thinking of quitting the course and it was a test in Accountancy. i appeared for the test and as expected, i scored very less..just border marks. first time in life......i was happy for the feeling that i could get through Accountacy paper.

A sort of energy run through my veins and i gave in more of hard work and resulted in topping the coaching classes in business Law test..great Achievement padma..go ahead is what people told.

and a tough period of 8 months passed by....the final exams for Foundation in December seemed to approach fast. the night lamps burned a lot...a reading of about 10 hours a day for 5 papers started. health started deteriorating..still, a strong desire to excel didnt let me stop. Amidst fever coupled with fear..i gave the exams.

In the exam hall when all appeared to take bundles of additional answer sheets for economics..i left the hall with only the answer sheet given in the beginning.......will i fail .will my hard work go in drainage???fear encircled me. And the day of result was inevitable. I passed and to my surprise scored well in Economics. .my joy knew no bounds.

then bcom appeared to be the easiest part in life. passed Bcom first year with unexpcted results...topped the class with 99 marks in Accountancy and 94 in Quantitative techniques. My hard work for CS paid off.....My success didnt stop here........

My happiest day in life. June 23, 2003...when i was declared to have ranked 23rd on National Level (4th in State) in the Foundation Course. wowwwww! unexpected.....Tears rolled down the eyes of my parents .i cannot forget the spark in their eyes when they showed me the magazine wherein my name was printed!!!!!!!

hard Work pays offf

Family

where should i start with??

this is the first question that comes to anyone who wants to write about himself/herself

So let me start from the stage when i dont know what was good and what is not. Even today i feel am lost in distinguishing between what is rite and what is wrong

Padma shenoy as known to most of you is a single girl but behind her is a strong family bond that is her strength and weakness.

Head of the family: Dad...retired now..but is my greatest support. was working with Syndicate Bank as Commission agent.

his words "All for one and One for all" in a family rings in my mind every now and then
restricted to his job and no divertions seemed to be his only motto.

Home Minister: Mummy.....Physically strong but emotionally weak lady. Supported dad through all the tuf times. Used to help us thru our homeworks in school and come to aid when teachers scold

Big Boss: Pratima..my eldest sister..now married and resides in bangalore but still has her umbrella of care and love over us. the initiator of the thought of puruing CS course to me and my source of strength

Big Brother: Prashant...my elder and only brother. the most serious person int he house..dwelling nto books and loads of books everyday ....expects me to read for about 10-12 hours a day to pass CS exams. My success as a CS is atrtributed to him

Sweet Sister: Poornima...elder to me by one year but is more than a friend to me. i prefer to call her by all possible nicknames. My emotional support at all times.

let me think what i am to write about me , my past and what it took for me to get here
