Along Came Dad !!! Learning to Rise
When I woke up, the first thing I did was to check my cellphone. Any calls, any messages? X works 24x7 you know. But there were none. I looked up ruefully at all the god idols I have in my room and then suddenly, out of nowhere, it struck me.
I have done well in life - I know I have. There are very few areas I have failed and I have never really bothered thinking about them. And at that moment, I realised that all this while in my life, I have never gone through the acid test - the test of failure. No man in this world, can call himself a man till he has gone through a time of failure. For you never judge a man, his will power, his strengths when he is winning. You judge him when he is failing. A girl who judges her love when he is only winning, could never be farther from being right. The only time when a man should be judged is when he has failed and lost. And I thanked god for giving me this acid test as well. I promised myself that I had no intentions of failing this test.
Still reeling under these thoughts, I was unsure if this was the right thing to think about, or was it just a garb or a mask under which losers could hide their face and forget about their failings...ummm
And then along came Dad..
Let me tell you something about my dad. He is the only one of his kind, no one whom I have ever met in my life can even come close to the qualities he possesses. A man of boundless energy, a man of unlimited will power and strength, a man of countless negotiation and convincing skills and above all the only person on whom I have more confidence of handling things than on my own.
And he called... and I told him everything which I couldn't say to anyone else. Its so unfair dad, its so unfair.. I was brilliant, trust me. Nothing had gone wrong, and I couldn't have done any better - I just dont know what happened.. I just don't know.. believe me.
And my dad listened and listened. And afterwards, when he spoke, I only listened. A few words from him and I was right back on track. I can't say what he told me... only he can say the way he speaks. But its suffice to say that whatever he said calmed me in ways nothing else could. My fallen chest had risen again, my confidence level was back to its max and suddenly, I was me again.
And even while I was talking to him, I suddenly realized how lucky I am to have a dad like him. And I so much could die for a quality that he possesses - changing his words to suit the occasion the best way possible. He is a master of words... if I had told him that I have got into X - he would have convinced me that that is the best place to work in the world. And now that I didn't get into, he convinced me that it would have been the wrong place to work anyway. Oh gosh... what a quality. I need that! for I know so long as I have that, I can never be unsuccessful in life.
And after talking to him, I knew one thing for sure. If X chose to go ahead without me, I have nothing to be disappointed about. If someone needs to be, it has to be that of X. "If there was anything that was under my control, it was my performance and not its outcome". Its their loss that they chose to go ahead without me. So it is they who have to be rueful - not me.
And at that moment, I made a pledge to myself. One day, and I do say one day, X will come over seeking me to join their company. And that is the promise of a son, who has within him, the genes of his dad ...

Learning to Fail...
Well well well... they say we never stop learning. And I learnt another lesson of life a couple of days back. And the lesson was that of failure. It might sound surprising, but I have never thought that I had really failed in my last 21 years as badly as I felt on Saturday. And boy o boy, was it a tough lesson to sit through!
A quick summary. It was the final round of company X's Recruitment drive. Just the last hurdle I had to clear - back to back interviews, games to play and basically to carry myself well throughout the day. I did all that well, and I really mean I did well. The interviews were a dream - never before, had I given such unblemished, assertive and magnificent interview. When I got up after my interviews, I was sure I am through. No human, whoever they were , could have the courage to not pick me up after such a marvellous display of skills. I was dead sure about that! I caught hold of my friends (who had come for the same assesment) and headed out for two back to back movies at the posh theatres downtown.
But I guess I was a little too sure. After one movie was over and I was still reeling under the effects of Penguins (Happy Feet), my friend got a call on his cellphone - he had got into X. Wow! I was so happy for him. The next thing I started to do was to take a look at my own cellphone - did I feel it vibrate or ring as well. Ah.. not yet. They are still calling - there is no way they can't take me in.
But the creeping python was all over me. All through our train ride to our next movie destination, I could keep feeling my heart beat rise with every minute. Did my phone just ring? No it didn't. Was there a slight vibration.. nah not yet. Or maybe its the tunnel? The train is running through a tunnel and signals are hard to catch by.. yeah that's right. Meanwhile, my friend was making frantic calls to all over the world - parents in India, friends, remote friends, enemies - "I am into X - London training, treat". I made a mental list of all people I would call up. First to mom and dad, and then to my brother - so what if I haven't spoken to him for over two weeks. This is the best time to make up . I will call up all my friends, even remote ones.... O damn it..!!!! Just Ring !!!!!!!!
The train was out from the tunnel, by then all the rest of my friends too had got the call from X and by the time we reached the movie theatre, I was finding it hard to walk. No way, I could sit through another movie - I am gonna die today. It juz can't be. What did I do wrong! Why is it that I am being tested for the power of endurance, why not someone else? Ah.. god. You can't be so unfair to me.
I ultimately didn't go for the movie and came back to my room. Couldn't have been so sad in my life. The canteen owner, where I brought my food everyday, spoke to me for the first time in 4 years.. and the first thing he asked was "Why are you so sad"... and I couldn't hold on anymore. Somehow, telling a stranger of how I felt was more comforting than anything else in the world at that moment.
The whole night, the only thing which went through me was --- why me? Why me, after such a splendid interview, with so many credentials - Dean's List, innumerable internships, awards, why couldn't I get through and simple others could get in? It was too much of a shock and a gulp in my throat formed which was too hard to swallow...
I din have the courage to tell my parents that I had failed in their eyes - the man who was once so sure in his life that no company could reject him would actually call them up to break a news of rejection. No I can't do that.
It was my first introduction to failure.. first time when I couldn't think of what I could have done better to get in. First time, when I felt I was at the receiving end of unfairness. So many first times, that I juz took refuge in a movie stored on my computer and slept ...

Frustration Limits !!!
Its been a terrible last 19 hrs...so many unwanted things have been happening that its now become too long to share it with anyone. So have to get down to what's the last thing left.. a public blog
Here is the list:
1. My computer data is all wiped out.. All Data. Everything for which I had spent hours and weeks collecting, all repository, all pictures all ebooks .. gone without a trace, without a notice, without a touch. Irreplaceable, unimaginable loss...
2. If that is not enough, my emails.. you read it right.. my emails have been wiped out too from my inbox. Why it hapened, I have no idea. All emails of paramount importance are gone too.. This is called a total Data Blackout.
3. If that is not frustrating enough, I am well behind my studies for the upcoming exams... no idea if I can even complete one reading before the exams.
4. Dad won't be for most part of my vacations in India... great.
5. Haven't chatted with my L interest since yesterday. Not that its important, it just keeps hitting me at the time when I don't want to think about it.
6. My lab partner sitting next to me is making lewd statements to his gf and seems to be enjoying himself... as if the world is not frustrating enuff already..
Argh!!
I hate all this..

Vidya..
My fav poem spoken by the lips of Vidya Balan in the movie Lage Raha Munna Bhai, this is for all those who share my taste
Guddddddddddmorning Mumbai!
This is Janvi on world's face radio
Jaane se pehle ye hai mera aaj ka khyal
Un sab ke liye jo daude ja rahe hain sheher me
Sheher ki is daud me daud ke karna kya hai
Agar yahi jeena hai to dosto, to fir marna kya hai
Pehli barrish me train late hone ki fikar hai
Bhool gaye, bheegte hue tehelna kya hai
Serial ke kirdaron ka sara haal hai maloom
Par maa ka haal poochne ki fursat kahaan hai
Ab ret pe nange paon tehelte kyon nahi
108 hai channel, par dil behelte kyon nahi
Internet pe duniya se to touch pe hai
Lekin pados me kaun rehta hai jaante tak nahi
Mobile, landline sabki bharmaar hai
Lekin jigdi dost tak pahuce aise taar kahaan hai
Kab doobte hue suraj ko dekha tha, yaad hai
Kab jaana tha shaam ka guzarna kya hai
To dosto sheher ki is daud me daud ke karna kya hai
Agar yahi jeena hai to fir marna kya hai
So gudbye Mumbai, mera bye bye bolne ka waqt aa gaya hai....

Diwali
Its 4:30 am in the morning here at Singapore. The morning sun is still to light up the sky but I believe I have strongly been hit by it already. I haven't really been able to sleep whole night.. waking up in breaks and reminscing about my earlier life and what's been going on lately. I hate myself over a lot of things. A lot of things which I know I shouldn't do but I just can't stop myself, a lot of things which I know I shouldn't say but sadly can't help not saying. And the worst thing is that I have never really cared of what I had been doing wrong until today. Until now, when the thought of losing a very dear one is very strong and the thought that the person whom I love might never be mine for that reason. Is it just too late now?
On this most auspicious day of the Hindu year, I make a pledge to change myself in what I say and what I do. Why am I changing myself for someone else? I don't know. The only thing I know is I had a conversation with Him today and I know this is the right step. I will be completing my part of the promise and the rest is upto Him.
And why am I publicly posting this? For the simple reason, that I want to stand up and take responsibility for whatever I have said and done and for people to remind me if I stray from what I pledged today.
Happy Diwali to each and every one.

An Ode to a Brother
I distinctly remember the day when my bro as an 18yr old boy was boarding his flight to
One more day … was well just one more day. The next day my brother left for
Humans are a strange lot. We tend to forget so easily that in some strange way I got used to my brother not being with me. Just so that I won’t have to keep answering the same questions from my friends about missing my brother, I decided to lead a reclusive life…delving into my books and unconcerned with my former friends. Mom felt that I had grown stubborn but only I knew what I was growing up to be. Life without a bro is tough… you have to go through it to feel it. Suddenly I was the only breaking opinion between my parents and I had to take care of whose side to be in. Suddenly, I had to grow up and I missed my brother so very much.
Meanwhile my bro was at his best at
And today, he goes from that same place. The same place where he made so many friends, friends such as whom I always craved for but never had. Aunties and uncles who know him and keep calling him for dinners and lunches. I envy you bro… wanna be like you and be loved like you.
But as my bro leaves everything behind to go to
And one thing I have to tell to everyone, if I am anything in this world, anything at all… it is mostly because of my brother. If I was in the Dean’s list at Penn state, it was only and only because of my bro. I shall always remember those hours and hours of skype chat while he kept doing projects for me… and all got straight A’s. He is brilliant and I am only his byproduct.
Ank, my bro my love. You begin a new life today with so many desires and hopes… rest assured they will be fulfilled….its my promise to you. And if there is anything.. aka anything that comes in their way... our whole family is behind you. Love you millions of tons.
Yours only lallu

At Penn State, US
Hi all,
I am finally here at Penn State, State College USA for an exchange stint till May 2006. I so much wanted to come here and I am so happy that my wish has come true. I have many people to thank for it. My friend Ashwini, who told me about the deadline of the application the day it was and my lovely friend who prayed for my exchange. It would never have been possible without them.
The place is great. I love being in small places and this is just the place I would have wanted to be. Met a lot of ppl. here but still trying to find my place among all them. I hope I get to know them better as I move along.
Many assignments due on Monday and I haven't done anything since morning. Chatted with my mom and brother. I love them all, the world is just perfect.
