Jania Kapoor on her High School Graduation party
Today, Jania has left home to pursue her higher studies at the University of California, Merced. She is focusing on strengthening her advanced skills in preparation for tougher medical competition that lies ahead. The whole family—Shiv, Shilpy, Gobind, and Geet—drove 100 miles to drop her off at her dorm on the new campus. This room in the dorm is supposed to be occupied by two more girls who will join her in a couple of days. Until then, she has to bravely face the world alone.

Harvinder and me however went to San Jose to attend Raakhi in Jaggi Pammi place for celebrations as the kids were scheduled as per University demands to drop Jania at her Dormy as Geet calls it.
Jania picks up this Bunk bed with a desk laid underneath option. The other two are bunk bed and separate desks on the side. She preferred to remain with in her peripheries. A fresher and a third year student are other two partners who will share this room with her.

For years, I had teased Jania, saying that when she left for college, I would be crying, feeling left behind without her. However, the day before her departure, I asked her to sit by my side, and we looked each other in the eye. I told her clearly that I would never cry anymore because I am proud of her. She is going out into the world as a warrior and will surely return victorious with flying colors.

Despite this, I can't help but miss her in the quiet of our house. Even though she was always in the corner of her room, often without making any noise, her absence is deeply felt.

Here is a wonderful promise from Jania. Her calm determination will be a great asset as she works toward her goals. It’s clear she has the strength and focus to succeed in whatever she sets her mind to.
