Hello All,
I know I have not been very consistent with updating my blog. I am sincerely sorry as I was trying to graduate. Since graduation, I have been trying to get some rest which has been extremely difficult as I have realized that I have spent most of my time being "busy." I have, however, decided to stop lazying around and get back to being "busy" before my summer "work" (I'll explain later).
Anyways, hats off to the big man beyond the clouds for seeing me through four years of college. I know, I didn't get to be Valedictorian this time so I must present my speech here. I really appreciate all the support, guidance and laughs I got from most of my friends, mentors, and family members. There were so many times I felt like giving up but didn't even know how to but the journey has been truly beautiful to say the least. I had never imagined that I would attend a commuter college ( I always wanted to go far away and live on campus) but it wasn't that bad. The greatest lesson I learnt from these four years is that one should always find joy in his or her situation. Create the joy, bring life to it, make it burn all the negativity and let it bring forth peace into your heart.
Here are some pictures from the wonderful day which took like an hour... (BA, English Literature,Honors)
