kaha hai mera ram........

Stories with a historic and magical touch have always fascinated me. Be it the Arabian Nights, the good old Panchatantra tales or the latest Harry Potter flick. They have an element of suprise and mystery which adds value.

Sindabad the sailor sets off in search of a treasure. He has a goal in his mind. An ambition, a burning desire waiting to be fullfilled. Its like his goal of life. But what after it. Spending years in persuit of an objective, finally achieving it.......what next!!!! Suddenly life is listless and incomplete. So then he sets off again, setting new standards and aiming for more booty. For dreams to transpire to reality we need inspiration.

I am in search for mine. For the last couple of years, I have been vying for an admission into a foriegn university of repute. My journey began from Standford and has come down now to TiasNimbas. The former needs no introduction while the latter is an unknown quantity.Wow! having achieved what I have wanted all this time, I don't feel so great. Partly because my parents are dead against it. And more so because even I for it costs a fortune and takes out one year of my life. Now as it is being rightly pointed out the programme doesn't really warrants the big wigs that accompany similar programmes from the Ivy league Schools. Therefore it becomes absolutely vital for me to be convinced about its utility before making up my mind to go ahead.

Now the question how to determine it? Haha! no laughing matter this. Anyways I am trying to search for an answer. For any ways and suggestions, I am all ears.........
