My story of being CA will help those who got disappointed due to marriage. After marriage joint family , Marwadi Family was not so easy to clear, negative thoughts have made house in mind I had thought now I can’t complete my dream .. Mera sapna sapna hi reh jayega!!! But thanks to God, thanks to Baa, blessings of Parent and help of my in laws specially father in law they all helped me to achieve this success. I Can never forget one person my husband who was always and now also is my helping hand in achieving all professional success.
When I was in 8th standard I saw dream of being CA , I have decided ki life me banan hai to CA aur kuch nahi. Mom told me Ki “ Kaha CA karegi usme sirf 2% result aata hai bani nahi bani to sirf time waste hoga B.ed. kar le achha hoga.” Every one was saying that but I was very firm karna hai to bus CA nahi to kuch nahi.
After graduation I went to CA’s office who was my professor’s friend he also warned me, “You are from marwadi family, graduation is done you will be getting married in next two years CA will take at least 5 years how you will manage?” I told that I don’t know I want to do CA that’s it. Than finally I took admission started my journey towards being CA in 2006 and also started working with that sir so that some practical knowledge I could get because I have not taken any classes for PE II.
I gave my first attempt of PE II in May 2007, as I have not taken any classes I gave 2nd group only as my taxation was good I cleared also. In june 2007 I got engaged on the condition that I will not get married until I clear my CA. I cleared PE II in November 2007 attempt. Under certain circumstances and advices of pandit and all I had to get married in November 2008 when my articleship was not complete and studies for CA final were also getting started.
After getting married whole day I was attending busy in office and other works at home and after whole day tiredness there was no time for studies. Somehow time ran and my first attempt came I was not clear how would I finish my studies and how would I give my exams. When I came at my mother’s place for giving exams my grandfather expired. I had good attachment with him so was unable to concentrate on studies again somehow I gave exams in may 2010 but could only got exemption in Indirect tax.
I was disappointed and was full of negative thoughts aisa lag raha tha bachpan se dekha hua sapna sirf sapna reh jayega ab main CA nahi ban paungi. Since childhood I had never seen failure. When I failed first time in CA Final and got lots of disappointment. My husband helped me to overcome all this and told me to give exams once again. I attended lectures at Institute for the subjects in which I have got very less marks and that helped me a lot. Lectures and Institute increased my understanding about subject.
This time I went as a Paying Guest at a needy old lady’s house (Baa) who was kind enough to understand my feelings, she helped me a lot to think positive and work towards achieving positive result. I had only 45 days for studies and 7 subjects to clear I had thought abhi nahi to kabhi nahi bus ab agar aaj nahi kar payi to kuch nahi hoga. There is hindi poem “ Lehron se dar kar nauka par nahi hoti koshish karnewalo ki har nahi hoti” I made this poem my Strong point and started working towards achieving my goal I really studied very hard for those 45 days I don’t know when I was sleeping or whether I was sleeping or not in that period only one thought was there in mind ki any how have to be a Chartered accountant this time. Baa used to keep saying , “Suyi jaa beta ketlu wachis ?” (Sleep beta how much you would study?) but I had only one goal to complete my dream. I thought, come on kirti dikha do.
I gave exams and cleared CA final in this November 2010 attempt result was declared on 21.1.2011 that was a very happy moment for my Mother as she was thinking kahi maine apni beti ki shadi kara ke galti to nahi kar di because I used to keep blaming her shadi kara di isliye I am not able to do my studies. But finally I am now CA Kirti Jain. I would like to say sorry to mom I kept her blaming so many times.
My struggle does not end here of course like all ladies in my life came a moment when I got special chance of being a mother than I left my very good job and preferred enjoying motherhood. For One year I was totally with my son than I started practicing because sitting at home was not my cup of tea. I did part time and started taking small clients at home. Started office at home. When my practice became good again got another kid than I used to take my daughter to office. She used to sleep in office and I was working in the office in between I had to feed her Sometimes in between meeting with clients. I had taken break. My Clients were good enough who understood all these situations and they believed in me.
Even struggles are going on as my kids are small now I still stay in joint family have to give time to family instead of office and have to work late night during hectic period after my kids sleep I have to work because when they are awake I have to work for them. So struggles are part in life of women but when we have faith in our self we can achieve anything.
