I feel so grateful today.

For Partha who was my guru like no other…

For Chuck and Joe and many other teachers who loved me so much…

For our first home together with so many fun memories…

For Gambhir Uncle and family who healed me as I struggled…

For friends like Gopi, Bala and Kevin who always inspired me… took care of me…

For Naveen who gave me the break at Microsoft…

And for so much more…

I was meant to come here - it grounded me, focused me.

Love you Arti for encouraging me - I needed this closure…

— ASU has always been a bitter-sweet memory for me. I often quipped that the only rankings it appeared in the top 10 was that of a ‘party school’.
