Hi....I can't describe my feelings right now. It's 25th March 2010 and within 15th April my fate will be decided. Whether I am going to US for my further studies or otherwise. Today I received the hard copy of rejection from Drexel University. Though I received an email on 10th March, still it pains...pains a lot. Only one of my friends know about all the rejections which I have received till now. She is Christina from Germany. The wonderful thing is we became friends in January. She came to ISI for giving some talk in Stat-Math Department and stayed here for 3 weeks. We became friends accidently. Usually people who come to give talk, they are so busy that they don't have time to mingle with the students here and since she came here to give talk into Math department, initially nobody from my department talked to her. But one day I saw her eating lonely in a corner of our mess. Since there was no other seat empty in the whole mess, I had to join her. And the rest is history. We became very good friends soon. She gave me a lot of confidence and strength to stand on my own. Her thoughts really inspired me. We talked on every issue possible including our personal lives.
Today in one hand I had one of my rejection letters and in the other hand I had a post card sent by Christina which she sent from England as she is studying there wishing me all the best for my other application results. She sent me lots of positive energies, strength, good luck. And I am really greatful to her for that.
True, it is during adversity you get to know who your real friends are. Sometimes people who are closest to you just leave you alone. I have faced it and am facing it. And people from whom you expect least help they are always there to help you. Christina is one such example. Technically speaking she should not have cared about what was going in my life and should have carried out her work but why did she send me a letter ??
Relationships do not need time to be strong. They need feelings, emotion, committment and honesty. The amount of time you spend with a person does not matter. It is the quality of time which matters. It is the feelings which matter and not the physical distance.
I feel really lucky to have her as my friend and I wish all the very best to her for her future. God bless you Christina!!!
