New year...new goals:-)

Happy New Year everyone!Its been a year I updated my blog but this time I promise to write in regularly!I wanted to use this blog (for the time being) as a start to finish record of doing something special for Adarsh everyday until I join school:-)

Yesssss...I got admitted into the school of my dreams!Tufts University School of Dental Medicine:-)) Actually I got admitted into 2 schools..the other one is State University at Buffalo.A couple of years back I felt dejected and thought "Will I ever get into a school?".I still remember the moment I got my first acceptance,which was from UB.It was 4 am in the morning and I was having this jet lag.I couldnt sleep,so I woke up to check my mail in the ipad. There it was "acceptance notice from UB".I saw it...and started crying.I took it to God and was just crying.I couldnt say anything...but I know God must have heard my thank you.

Then I took it to mummy who was,by then,as usual telling me to TRY to sleep to adjust to Indian timings.I told her to take a look at this.She saw it and was so happy...she woke Daddy up too.By then all of us were wide awake.And why not...when we were through this struggle for more than 2 years?Yes...my parents,my second set of parents( inlaws), me and my DH were struggling together.Of course I should add sometimes I had to show my frustration on my brother too.Apparently he had tears in his eyes too,when I told him of this.

I called up Adarsh then and there and was unable to tell him..and he started telling me sternly "what is it??what are you saying?" OMG...I wanted to tell him..cant you understand my silence!!!!!!!!!!!And then in a couple of min,Mavayagaru called up and said that he was awake and even if he was not..I should wake him up and tell him...haha...he is so sweet.And then we went to a temple.What a sweet way to celebrate my victory.Yes...it was the first time I achieved something..I got it into the list of 12 accepted candidates:-)

What I learnt and still am learning is "never give up".I still remember those days when I was preparing for eamcet and used to be so disappointed.No one can be perfect.No one gets it right the first time.Its upto us to choose to stop running this race or atleast try to make it to the finish line even if we are the last ones to do so.Winners never quit and quitters never win.

But I am not perfect.I am a virgo and they say virgos are perfectionists.Then why do I have so many imperfections?Daily,I tend to leave something which is not so perfect or something that I can improve on.Will I have a day when I can say..yes,I am that perfect lady like my mother,attha and akka?I hope I can live to that day when I can say "I have become a perfect lady." Until then,my quest to bring a smile on adarsh's face starts...
