A lot of people (ofcource who know me) know my love for the magical Potter series. There was a time when Harry potter was my life and my dream was to marry Emma Watson ( Hermoine ofcource). In my collage days I turned down so many girls, sincerely hoping I am gonna meet Emma on my way to or back from collage and the first thing I ask her is...' Emma will you marry me'. If I would not have been that crazy I would have not been single while I am writing this blog.....
But if that was a kind of love I had for the magical series , I would say its nothing to what I feel about JK Rowling today after hearing this speech. (Specially when I am (I feel) sailing in a somewhat similar ship at this time) (About the same age what Joe was at that time....) OH no I dont dare to comapre myself to her.
But if there is a speech which can be inspiring , I have heard it today. Who in the world can list down the benefits of failure than a mother who once had no money to buy toys for her kids, and today is richer than the Queen. I remember Joe telling once when she had visited a friends housewarming party and the friend showed her the Kids room which was so full of toys. All Joe could see at the back of her mind was a shoe box in her house which could accomodate all the toys her kid had.
Its so hard to believe that its the true face behind Harry Potter .... How can a person who has suffered so much present the world with a gift as wonderful as that ....... and her speech up there answers my questions... her dedication and love to write novels..... I have never heard a speech which changes the moods of the listners so rapidly and makes one think hard... surely joe we are ofcource gonna remember that speech for a long long long long time...... And just one thing.... please say you lied that you graduated 21 years back, or people would feel you graduated at the age of 1..... cheers...
A point I just realised.... arond an hour after i wrote this post and waited while the video is getting uploaded..... Its the last saturday of July today and tommorow happens to be the first Sunday of August... friendship day ofcource.... listen to Joe when she speaks about friends..... (at the very end of the speech) I wish you all a great frndship day and may you all find kind of friends joe met and had them sitting besides her on her graduation day... and most importantly have them till date ....that is (because she says) even 21 years after her grad day....
