LAKSHYA ko har haaal mey paana hai . . .

Taking CA Final examination (Nov-07) was one of the toughest challenges I faced so far ... To keep myself going, I handpicked select motivational quotes from a vast number of quotes available on the net, got a print-out and stuck it on my study table... Since then I have got my CA Final completion certificate, new furniture has replaced my study table :( and more than 1.5 yrs. have passed; But the list still resides in my heart my mind and my Laptop's Hard disk ...
