Behind Every Successful Woman....

Is a Good Man...

For me its.....Bala.

Bala made me come to Bangalore....made my second stint in print possible by paving the way for my entry into TOI Blore. He has always been there...listening to my raves and rants... he was listening all the time, no matter what I had to say or cry about … he was a shoulder to cry on. He always was able to lift me from the dumps and set me going once again....He held me when I feared failure and lack of confidence...he made sure I never called it quits....he has always been the voice of sanity that eluded me when emotion clouded my judgment....he made sure to reignite the fire in the belly whenever it was at threat of dying off....I just can’t imagine having gotten here without him.

And the best part about him has been his ability to selflessly and wholeheartedly rejoice in my highs. And even this story....he told me it was my best till date, when he saw the final draft and that I deserved a cover for it. I didn't get the cover, but his words were prophetic and instead I got the prestigious PoleStar.

I'm glad I've made him proud.

This one is for you Bala.... Thank you for everything.
