Against all odds
This is my fortune today in orkut..
"The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do"
Usually i get some crappy fortunes which may not have any meaning or related to me in any ways..Even though this is a generalized fortune, its amazingly true. The excitement is definitely unmatched and unparalleled if you go and achieve something against all odds. Everyday we hear stories around us like "ohh..he/she created history" . I always wonder how these people get inspired to perform or achieve something that they really are not suppose to achieve. How do they get that fire in them?? Is it because of people who support them or that extra sense/fire in them??? I have faced several situations like this before..But all of them are minuscule compared to what some great people have achieved over the years.
A typcial example was when i was stuying 6th grade in Sivakasi(place in southern part of India), in a school where Hindi(our national language) was a regular subject. Hailing from TamilNadu usually in schools Tamil would be the main language.But this school was an exception which meant that i had to clear the exam to goto 7th grade.I had no clue about Hindi and didnt know the 'abcd' of it.I failed miserably in all the exams until the finals(Annual Exam). I was against all odds, but bent my back,went for tuition..etc and got somewhere like 78/100 in the finals. Before the finals my highest was only 34. Even though my score in other subjects was 90+, it was 78 that i enjoyed the most..:)

I like stories that have a happy ending. And i wish for one now. Against all odds, i hope the Underdogs manage a win in the next three upcoming badminton matches. Against all odds, I hope to be the last man standing in Hold'em. And against all odds I hope to find out why the conductor was finally electrocuted!
