Rotary Peace Fellow

This morning, I received an email which carried this link: http://cgi.unc.edu/top/staff-blog/2011?q=darshan&x=0&y=0

If you've already opened it, let me clarify, I do not send it to blow my own trumpet. It's just that the article touched my heart, not cuz it was written bout me, but cuz it came from someone who I considered real close. Some one who had been with me through out the process that she writes about, rather it was her patience and her care that nurtured my passion to do what I wanted. She stood besides me, not only me, but every peace fellow through their two years, and then as a continuous locus of support. Rotary peace fellowship is an amazing program, but what makes it incredible is the extra support and care that the Rotary family renders. It is an opportunity for dreams to manifest in reality, which otherwise might have disappeared in thin air.

Let me not forget the peace fellows, the school and the cohort. All that she writes about, if I may say so, can happen only at UNC. The patience with which school endured my tantrums, the love with which my friends stood besides me, the care that my mentors and faculty showed, the affection of my host parents, the list can go on...

I never could pen my thoughts or after reactions of the peace fellows program. How could I? It seems impossible to capture all those emotions, all those experiences, everything in black and white. But, this link is a sufficient trigger to remind me how every one copied on this email has been a source of change in my life.

I'd not say thanks, I'd rather say, "Rotary Peace Fellows" let's rock it! :)

Love, Darshan

Am I busy..??

(Federal Warning.. This message is labeled, "Show off") ;-)

Why wud both of you dames ask me the same question? C'mon, I am not here to do time pass any all. Lol.. Though I can understand the genuine ( ?? ) concern behind it.. ;-) Hahahaha...

So, Mdm. MBA Bandarr & Mdm. Juari Bandarr, if you wud have known as to how I wrote this blog, surely, u'd be believing me.. And yes, rolling with laughter too! ;-)

So, one and all, wassup? Its been really long since I wrote! I have been on toes.. North Carolina was minute to minute packed! And the worst was the heat! 105 degree Fahrenheit! It was the first topic of discussion where ever I went! And the climate out there is as humid as Mumbai.. 60% humidity.. If I choose Carolina, I am not gonna miss home for the weather atleast! lol..

But, on a serious note, equally amazing was the experience! If ever the Indian education system wud become so student friendly..?? IF ever..

Will love to write bout it wenevr I can..
(Bandarr, before you say it, let me.. I know, I have started one more topic and leaving it incomplete, I'll try n complete it. Cos cant continue writing in my present situation.. ;-).. Lol..)

So, let me just get back.. And keep guessing, where does this blog come from.. ;-)

Cheers!
