My thanksgiving day is today. To the heroes who made my performance possible. My dream team of mentors.

Mum, Dad : The true masters of my endeavour.

Mr. Gautam Puri: For teaching us to solve geometry using the admit card as a scale and coins of 50 paise and 1 rupee for circles.

Mr. Chandramoli, for helping us build the thought algorithms needed to think logically. Sir, you puzzled us as much as you taught us.

Ms. Geeta, for the endless gyaan on the language. Who told us not to learn the rules of grammar, but to read so much that you would become a grammar auditor and discover the audacity of words when they become sentences.

Mr. Govinda, The gardener in our college: for letting me sleep on the grass and study, especially when he does such a hard job everyday tending it so that beautiful species of butterflies and squirrels can be invited.

Mr. Victor, for all the times he slapped my wrist and took the fiddle from me. Who kept telling me that I am no good with the instrument. Who was never satisfied with what i played(rather how I played). Telling me that my notes were never close to perfect and when i somehow managed to get the notes right tell me that i had no emotion in it. paradox of perfection. Notwithstanding you never tuned my ears only to play another bach or another mozart. You tuned me to play my own song.

My coach on the field, you taught us more than football. You taught us to face our deepest fears. uncensored performance. to compete without recognizing the enemy. win without knowing you are winning.

Friends: the champions of my life.. who inspire me to inspire myself.

The list is endless.... i could go on and on from the ice cream factory that made the ice creams that i ate to hike my emotions when i was feeling low, the artists who sung the wonderful songs outlandish 'walou". david cook ''time of my life'.. switchfoot 'dare you to move'''. paulo coelho for producing an amazing book that never ceases to inspire. I would like to end with a quote from his book that helped me cool my nerves today:
"The warrior smiles because nothing frightens him and nothing holds him. With the confidence of one who knows what he wants, he opens the door''                                                                                                                                   

THANKYOU! THIS DAY WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU ALL!
