To the heroine in my life, my dearest Palla..

I'am on cloud nine today,not just me but all of us in my family.. a special reason to rejoice.My dearest sister Pallavi (in short Palla) cleared her CA final group exam in the 9th attempt.She finally made it and with great scores!! (56,81,50,etc.. if u think this is less,talk to a CA student :) )
Scores that can put the best income-tax guy in India to shame -this is an exaggerated statement but today calls for it. I have seen her study endlessly for the last 6 years every 6 months not giving up a bit. CA is one hell, I tell you. The exam is so difficult to score , it is not at all nice after a point.Most people give up or slide down.

My sister is a fighter,she never gives up.She always has had a business acumen , a keen sharp intellect, just right for the finance job. She would excel if she specalised in Income tax. Her knowledge of the finance world simply baffles me. To be abreast of everything that happens in the market today, to know the policies,understand case laws, know the stock market, to understand most of what P Chidambaram and others in the past have said on Feb 28th every year is in my opinion not a joke.

One look at her exam preparation and you know how she can keep in her small brain, all those 500 odd case laws or income tax clauses, I would just die you know... Look at her work sheets and you see the numerous ways she would have handled a sales tax question of weird complexity. Look at her management science answers and you will admire her handwriting. She tells me she keeps it that way even in the exam answers sheet.. (The pace at which she writes does not spoil the way her writing looks like it would to most of us)

She is my herione, my sweetest dear little sister who today stands tall ( litrally and figuratively)
because of her hardwork and dedication. She is now just a step away from becoming a top-notch
Chartered Accountant, the first in my family!! Today is the happiest day in my life!!

Oh 'world of money matters'!! 6 months from now,be ready to welcome one of the smartest brains...
