So today is the second anniversary of my CMU admit - two years since receiving
that email that gave the biggest boost to my self-esteem.
That email whose attachment wouldn't open.
That email that caused my heart to skip a beat and go on beating madly for two days of that weekend until that attachment would open...
That email that would change the way I live, the way I perceive the world, my life and the people in these.
That email signed by Adam Linstedt with a subject "Congratulations from Carnegie Mellon"...
Today was the day when my belief in dreams was reiterated and when Geet's movie dialogue became my life's motto - "Jo dil actually chahta hai, actually actually ke liye, insaan ko voh hi milta hai". Roughly transted to Paulo Coelho "If you want something truly, from the bottom of your heart, the entire universe conspires to make it happen for you".
And now, I am sitting and working towards crossing another big milestone in CMU - qualifying exam for PhD. And as usual, in God I trust. Another phase of life where life shows up in its most frightening and stressful avatar and tells you how important little acts of kindness are, how important a couple of good words are and how important people's good wishes are.
So pray for me brother, pray for me sister! Thank you, good souls! God bless!
This day, shall definitely be special, very much indeed!
