    :) Actually, this user name is a literal translation of my real name.

    Thanks Kamla ji.

    Nope, it does not amaze me. But it does amaze people when I say these words. This was my first realization as a teenager. Things might have been really different if it were to happen at my teenage or later. Since it happened at 6, it is like me growing with it and so it is my second nature.

    When I read what you had written first, I was like, did Kamla ji overheard me somewhere ... :crazy may be telepathy ?!!!!! :rotfl

    As I grow older and older, my admiration for her keeps growing multi-fold.
    She is very spiritual, that might have helped her..

    hmm...I have to agree that there had been very few instances where I have felt bad, but just few seconds. But otherwise, the attitude and grit was taught my 'nature' for my survival in the mainstream... basically my survival instincts.... no special efforts from me as such...

    Thank you very much. Hope the other gal is doing good.

    This is my first (meaningful) post and thanks for nominating it.
    I had written it (elsewhere) last year. Recently I shared that link with my boss (I really respect him a lot). Seeing me and the post I had written, he started saying that I should write a book. His encouragement in general and my friend's insistence on posting here, made me post it here. I am glad that someone liked it. :)

    Congratulations on winning the FP for last month. What a fine post!:thumbsup

    That is a million-dollar attitude you got there and just for that my hats off to you.:hatsoff

    I think every ILite who reads your post is going to walk away with a healthy dose of your 'Grit' that will help them tackle their own challenges in life and for this I am very thankful to you. I think your boss is right in suggesting that you write a book. You should really do it and I wish you the very best in achieving that goal.
