August 1996
============

The auditorium thundered with claps as Bani stepped down from the stage. She was relieved as she always was after she delivered a good speech. She was constantly looking at the judge who was writing something down on an evaluation chart that he had. A extremely handsome man in his late twenties. With his dark hair, tanned complexion, and a personality to die for 'Jai Walia' had easily become a household name since he came back to India to persue his family business. A business graduate from the Harvard school of Business, he took over his small business and in just a span of four years successfully converted it into a Multinational Company with dreams of making it India's first Global Corporation. With his looks,success and presence in media, he was every girl's dream man. "I wish I coud read what he is writing", she sighed as she settled on her seat next to her friends. Over the ear deafening sound of claps Rano shouted, "Bani...really this was the best talk of your life.....no wonder the first prize is coming to our institute this year too". "But thats not important....that was something we all expected....the exciting part is that you are going to get the prize from none other than Jai", whispered Pia as she tugged Bani mischieviously. "Come on Pia, you talk about him as if you two were togethor in Kindergarten", Bani laughed. "I wishhhhh....." Pia sighed.

This prize was important for her. Winning the best debate title for the third consecutive time was a dream that she had for the past year. No one had done that for her institution before. Miss. Roshni had so much faith in her and she had spent a whole month helping her prepare for this speech. They knew it was not going to be easy this time as the event was bigger and many new colleges were participating...The judging panel also consisted of new faces, so there was an uncertainity.

"......Hey did you notice he just looked at me, didn't he...", Pia was speaking endlessly as Bani tried to break through her thoughts to concentrate on what she was saying. Bani smiled at her friend. "So now it was Jai Walia...Pia's latest crush" Bani thought.

Finally the big moment arrived. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Please welcome Mr. Jai Walia who will announce the prize for the best debate today." Jai went on to the stage and as he started praising the particpants and the event, Bani closed her eyes as she could not take the anticipation anymore. It was only when she heard "Bani dixit could you please come on the stage" that she opened her eyes. Rano and Pia jumped up from their chairs and the rest was all like a dream. A lot of people hugged her as she took steps towards the stage with tears of excitement. Everyone was so proud of this 'thirteen' year old girl, who with her intelligent opinions got the third consective National Debate Award for her age group.

February 2000
=============

As Bani opened her eyes, she set her eyes on the large photo frame hanging in front of her bed. This was like a morning ritual for her now....It gave her the motivation to work towards achieving her goals. She could not forget the words of Jai Walia as she took the trophy from him. " It was an interesting speech, and I can see the spark
in you. You will go a long way and No one can stop you from success. Just keep working hard...." and even though she wanted to drop back into the cozy bed she repeated to herself "keep working hard".

As she stood in front of the mirror brushing her teeth she checked her new haircut. It was looking nice on her. She was turning into one of the most naturally beautiful looking girls.

"Open the dooorrrrr....Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaani, We are getting late" she heard Pia shouting and banging outside her door....She rushed and opened the door, "Pia tummmmm...what are you doing and that also at THIS TIME", bani was concerned...."Hey take a chill pill, I am supposed to go for a Photo Shoot", Pia beemed. "Don't tell me you are missing college again, Pia kia kar rahy hai yaar, kabhi to parhayee main serious ho jaooo" Bani tried once again to get her friend on track. "Ufff ab phir sai lecture na dena....let me live life...Its fun, tum to apni life ka best time waste kar rahy ho". And to avoid moving the conversation further, Pia just looked around for some distraction and could not help but stop at the Photo. "Oh Hi Jai Darling, Tum hi samjhao na is ko, tumharee baat manty hai humaary bani, woh kia kaha tha is nai tum sai??? work hard type kuch,......." and she had to stop right there as a pillow came flying at her. In a few minutes the room was a mess and both of them were laughing as they looked at each other and the post fight appearences they were in.

At college, the Principal called for Bani to his office. "Can I come in Sir", Bani enthusiastically knocked at the door. She was wondering what was coming up. "Yes Bani...come in....Well I have a very interesting news for you...You know Walia Group of Industries??" He enquired....and Bani's excitement doubled...."Oh yes Sir, who does not....what happened??" "They are celebrating 5 years of opening their first branch outside India and they have arranged a seminar for the young business students to come and learn what puts them apart from the rest of the companies.....mmm...I was thinking if you could represent our college?". "Oh that would be an honor Sir, I would love to go there."

Two weeks later, Bani sat in the large seminar room which was filled with young people. People who, like her, were anticipating to see Jai Walia talk about his motivations, ideas and success. Listening to him was a fulfilling experience. Bani made sure she did not miss a word of his talk.

She noticed that this time he was accompanied by a woman. They looked happy togethor. Later, during the lunch break, Bani heard him introduced her as Meera, the Human Resource Manager of his Company's Head Quarters, his fiance and soon-to-be wife." Bani thought they made a nice couple.

The last part of the seminar was to ask all the students in the room to fill a form making suggestions for what should be the future strategies to stay ahead of the competitors. So the day ended and Bani enjoyed it to the fullest.

The next day Bani narrated the whole experience to Pia, who was all ears. "Hmm so he is getting married...", Pia sighed, "Yaar yeh har handsome admi ki shadi kion ho jaty hai???" "Kionkai woh handsome hota hai", Bani quipped. "Anyways....waisay bhi I am concentrating more on Hrithik Roshan these days....Have you seen his movie..this guy is sooooo handsome and......." "Oooooooo don't start it off again Pia, I am tired of this naaa....."

A week later Bani was called to the principal's office again. As she entered, she could see the pride on his face. "Bani, you did it once again", he excitedly told her about the letter he recieved from Walia Group of Industries. It was mentioned that Bani's suggestions were extremely liked by the committee and will be taken seriously in the future decision making. On behalf of this, Walia Grp had dispatched a letter of appreciation to encourage the young mind behind those valuable suggestions. It was personally signed by none other than Jai Walia. Bani was super excited. "Bani, Walia Grp has picked out 10 students for a whole day tour of their facilities and you are one them, so get ready to do there. Its scheduled for the next week." He informed her. Bani could not sleep the night before that day.

And finally along with a group of young and bright students Bani entered into the Main Office. It was magnificent to say the least. Bani knew that they will get to talk personally to the CEO of the company as part of the agenda that she had in her hands. She was looking forward to that as well. They had a nice tour of the facilities and enjoyed the attention paid to them. All the hard work on studies seemed to be paying off. They were seated in the conference room and a few minutes later a man in his late fifties entered the room. He looked a little stressed and tired but made sure he kept the mood alive. "I am really sorry for keeping you waiting but it is hard to keep up with the pace in Jai's absence." He was Uday Walia. There
was an obvious dissapointment at the unexpected absence of Jai Walia but still he engrossed them in discussing different business strategies.

Later in the evening Bani saw in the news that Jai had gone to Canada and was planning to manage business from there. His abrupt decision to shift base was not known. There were specualations in the media. One of the biggest news doing the rounds was his breakup with long time girlfriend Meera. But there was no confirmation from the Walia Grp or Meera for that matter. Bani switched off the tv and went to sleep.

Jai Walia, who once was on the media front almost daily, gradually became invisible over the next few months.......
