Well friends I am back again. Before I say anything my sincere thanks to Jatland.com and especially to Nitin for having done a great job. I have been a member of this site a little over two years now. My last post of any substance was on Dec.10th 2003. I have read good number of posts since then and would have loved to respond to some of them. I chose not do so as I promised myself let me see what i do to justify what I said in that post.
During this time i have paid three visits to India and thanks to jatland.com i had the opportunity to meet wonderful people. I will try to mention the names and i hope i dont miss out anyone.
In India i met the following and i am addressing them as Mr. Mrs. and Ms. as we are not using other titles to make us feel at ease.
Mr. Rajendar Rana, Mrs. Kanta Singh, Mrs. & Mr. Jagmohan Malik, Mrs. Sabeena Chaudhry, Ms. Nupur Singh and her parents, Mr. K.K.Pooria, Ms. Neena Khandelwal and her parents, Ms. Pratibha, Ms Meghna and her mother,
Ms. Twinkle, Ms. Reema Tomar and her sister, And Mr. Sangwan in Pune.
In London Mrs. Sarla Chaudhry.
In USA Mr.& Mrs. Samunder Singh, Mrs. & Mr. Prashant Sogarwal Mrs.& Mr. Ashu, Mr. Shailendar Singh Hooda and the whole Miami clan. If anyone of you get a chance visit them and you will not miss your jat roots. If you can get him going he even might make a great cartoon of you very talented man.Mr. Virendra Tavathia and his son, Mrs. & Mr. Virendar Balyan and just last month drove to Myrtle beach to meet Mr. Dharampal Dudee and his family. He has made great contribution to jatland and due whatever set of reasons left the site. I have requested him to comeback and contribute to this site he did a great job made very good contributions to this site.
I have talked to many people and its not worth wasting the readers time to read that.
Now my friends I am sure some of you are wondering that most of the youngsters i met were jatnis. Well thats what i want to share with you. I have randomly send emails and to my surprise i got a great response from our gals then the boys. Percentage wise 90% gals responded to just 30% of our boys. And let me tell you I got a very nice email from Sonali Singh who had her fun on jatland and vanished as she felt all we were interested is bashing eachother on little mute point. But again we all have our views and wont it be great that we really express our views based on the topic rather then pick one lame sentence and try to tear a person apart. It was me who sent email to Ms. Praveen Dangi not to ever leave jatland and also to Ms. Rana. Why so that they stand and give their views and not get frustrated by the replies to their views which are based not on what they really are asking. I can here relate to Ms. Praveen Dangis question which was only asking why phone numbers are asked and the whole discussion went in different directions. I dont blame her for what she did but i am glad she is back. And if some of you remember very few of our jat gals have made comments on this site. Have anyone given a second thought to this issue why it is so? People like Namrata, Nitz, Sabeena, Nupur, Kanta, Sonali , Sujata glad to see her again and many many more who have come and gone. I think Poonam has figured out the best formula and my hats off to her. Give no more then one liner and have fun enjoy reading and once a while give detail comments. great job Poonam keep it up. This can lead to another head and i will try now to respond to some of the threads as it will make more sense there.
Back to the point. I succeeded in helping one person to make her decision to go out for further studies and that was Reema. Been in constant touch with Balraj Dhaiya and trust me he has gone a lot but i am so glad that he is a fighter and thats being a true jat and finally has settled down in a good job. I assure you it would be great to pick some of his brains and experiences he has gone thru. Helped another brilliant jat gal Ms.Kiran Gulliya who now is in USA. Gave great moral support to new immigrants Nidhi and gordhan in Canada. By the way thanks to another jat family sister of our cooljat Jitendar Mehta who are always there for any jats who need their help in Canada. Now tell me my friends where else could I have found such wonderful people had I not been member of this site.
And i am mentioning this on this thread dont want another one to bore you to death. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AND PLEASE DONT CALL OUR CHILDREN HERE ABCD'S. Just remember they have jat blood in them and they are wonderful children. Try to understand them if you get to meet them try to make friends with them. And i will mention very limited names which i know off head so you can see what these ABCD' s have achieved. Learn to appreciate little things in life dont try to put down anyone in a spur of a moment. If you were in their shoes you would know what it takes to grow up in two cultures. I would rather discuss this on one to one basis if anyone of you have any interest to know about it. One of our jatland member has put it beautifully i think it is Mr. Dev Dhaiya learn to appreciate what one does for you even if it is kind words. So here are few names of parents whose children have done well.
Jaglan family three boys doctors and two daughter doctors.
Kaden family only child she was thru out a gifted and finally finished her medicine from John Hopkins
Lamba family daughter graduated from Havard
Mathur family son graduated from Harvard and daughter from Princeton
Dhaka family one son Phd in Molecular genetics, another one done Law from Gerogetown and the third one doing MBA in MIT
And at present Sujata's daughter doing so well. Now my friends if i was you I would have flooded Sujata,s email box to find out what her daughter has done that she is always on top of her class. You all are going to at one point start a family dont you think you should produce good citizens and learn the easy way by asking the expereinced people to see what can be done? As they say charity starts at home i assure you all, that if you decide to take the path of just educating your own children to become good citizens half the battle of lifting our community will be won. So please try to pick brains and to that add yours and you will do wonders in life.
Last I just cannot help it Kalkhande Sahib you are a masterpiece. Where else can one get a person who so admirably puts the fee of just Rs. 500 for RI and $200 for NRI ( Rs. 8800 ) wow. I thought conventions always have same fees for everyone. The rest is done by sponsers. Hats off to you for keeping this site alive I wish to meet you some day so we can have a great talk.
Thanks my jatland friends for taking time to read this and I can hardly wait to see some comments. Maybe I will get lucky and get none.
By the way Sumit hopefully something will come thru it was a pleasure to talk to you. To tell you the truth Jatland.com is the best chill pill one can ever ask for. Now i guess i have touched some nervers to give me a bashing its ok i can take.
