“Life is a tragedy at close-up and hilarious at long shot” –Charlie Chaplin

Nothing ever makes sense in life. It might be a reason that whatever I had wanted in life always managed to run away from my grasp and when I lose interest in the same thing, It all gets back with much less effort. What a sweet irony.

What am I missing when I am trying for first time? The Zeal to achieve the target is very much there and the efforts are never a problem when the zeal is there. what else? Something came back and hit me back into real world saying “Life is not so simple an experience”.We are too damn ignorant to understand anything fully.

There was a time where I frantically tried to get into US for my Masters. GRE score had been great, TOEFL even better, but more and more I started dreaming the dollar dreams, I realized that more they ran away. But what I didn’t get a chance do that day in fact turned out to be the right decision in life as now I have greater clarity of what I want and what I should do in life.

Mind you I am just saying I have greater clarity than before. But this time I am half-expecting life to throw up more surprises, to keep me interested in life.

But those times where we passed out and were frantically looking for a job was simultaneously the dark days as well the best days of my life.For what I am today is because of the perseverance I had shown during that time. I and my gang of friends NEVER GAVE UP.

Yes at this point shouldn’t forget to mention my friends who shared their experiences in life along with me during those times.

For KK, Sagar, Milk, Prabhu -- I knew life will never be a straight road. But at least u guys were there as sign posts giving warnings. I am happy for tat.

A special mention: Guha who helped us with a home without expecting anything in return. The one person for whom no amount of repayment is possible.

P:s: I know it looks like a award winner’s speech, but cant help it J
