The win I needed.

Even though my family has been supportive, a lot many people were barking.
This is a little Thank you for a lot of them.
I joined college a year late for certain reasons so all my peers were a class ahead of me now. I did not think it was a big deal because frankly, how does it matter if I was pursuing a much higher qualification degree [CA] on the other side!
Well, that was what I thought atleast.
One of my friends who apparently thinks he is a dude or something, lets call him Dudley, well, he used to be sarcastic and taunt me about it all the time.
Another friend, lets call him Gabbar, well Gabbar, before I joined my CA told a common friend : Why is HE joining this course? He thinks he cud crack it? Hahahahaha.... Really? Crazy overconfident idiot!
To top it all, one of my friends, right amongst my bestest of friends, before a month from the finals asks me : Why dont you wait for another six months and then appear? Can u really do it this time?
I dont even want to get started about certain neighbors in the vicinity.

And here I was, waiting for my CA Final results the next day. Sweaty hands, putting an alarm for 1.30 pm next afternoon, i sleep with my laptop on at 3.45 am.

Next morning, Dad walks into the room @ 9 am and tells me the results are out.
Shaky hands, I enter my Roll no.
Each second, I am sure i cud count at least 50 heartbeats.
All these statements by all these people were recollected within a span of a few seconds very very elaborately in my mind.

Come on ! I worked really hard this time.

I got a lot of 'best of luck' messages ! Atleast one of them should work.

The page opens.

PASS.

Paused.

Scrolled up to check if the name was correct.
It was. Karan R Kapoor.
I rechecked it thrice.
I just had to be sure.
I WAS NOW A CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT.

I really had to thank these people.
Whenever I used to take a break from studying, these f*cking comments made me get back to reading, get back to thinking I have to slap my results on their faces.

Ofcorse, now I dont have a grudge for what all they spoke, because it ultimately did help me but nevertheless, it does not disgust me any lesser.

As for my graduation, I am continuing :)

Goa with Family and cousins.

Ok. Goa was fun ! 

It was raining and the beaches weren't overcrowded. Awesome weather for a person who wants to introspect self. Calm and serene beauty.

The Casino nights were probably the most memorable part of the journey. Sitting on the chair, munching on free chicken and drinks and making sure u eat atleast how much u lose of, was hilarious.   ;)
However, almost all of us did manage losing no money so it was quite a Win-Win situation.

The Mocktails were interesting too. Tasted Red wine, wasn't really impressed with that though.

Swimming in the pool while it was pouring heavily, enjoying with a twisted frisbee and a few swimming tubes was awesome fun.

having a good time at the disc and listening to live music at that 'only Friday' shack. WOW!

Also got a mini temporary tattoo done on my arm of a baby devil.
Selecting the design was a task and finally came up with this.
The artist was kinda stupid though, he spoiled it from the waist.

The Apple Pie outside Tito's is to kill for ! And so is the food at Souza Lobo.
Also did some roadside shopping. For a change, shopping wasn't as tiring as it usually is.
