From my birth i always had a very different life.
My dad was an alcoholic.
And there would be always tension in my house. I was never kind of kid Excelled in his studies and if you live in India it was a shame. Thanks fully in middle of my middle school my dad got himself treated and stopped drinking. but nevertheless as a kid it always made me difficult in fron of peers esp girls. I was later diagnosed to have a learning disability called as Dysgraphia which affected my handwriting.
In india its very odd to explain everyone what learning disability is and etc.
So this only added to my problems
Now the only solution was to use a writer which i did for my SAT and pre High School exams. The problem was that Throughout my life till then even while being intelligent i could never succeed. I was never interested in sports as well though i have quite good body build and height slightly above 6ft.
Thanks to provisions by gov. of india i got into a very prestigious chemical engineering school. However i suffered same problems here due to my handwriting and didnt got grades even anywhere close to average of the class. The only option i believed was to do research of quality that can get published in international journal. For next 1.5 years i worked hard with my friend and got one paper published in a 100 year old journal.
On the day i got it published i asked a girl who i had always liked for a date. She agreed but only after examination. After examination when i asked her again she said that in meantime she had found another person and that their relation ship has become concrete enough and hence she wouldn’t go out with me. I was hurt badly only to increase the difficulties i failed in the examination. I subsequently cleared the examination one month later and saved myself from wasting an year.
That was a year back (The paper got published on 31st oct 2008)
Anyway i have continued my research and though i haven’t got any more publications but have got few really good projects in AI and one paper in pipeline.
Now i am trying to apply to mit media lab and i guess i have average chance of getting there.
I generally never care much about how others(Everyone) perceive me.
But now i have hard time evaluating myself whether i am a failure or a success. i have gpa of 2.6 something which is sliding as i progresses in college and an International publication and two in offing and few good projects.
yup and i havent found a girl worth asking for a date again.
And sadly i see the earlier girl and her bf everyday as they are my class mates.
