A New Take...
So everything that could possibly be said has been said about Kaavya Viswanathan, and the whole Opal Mehta Scandal. And I'm sure you're probably tired of hearing it as am I. However, I just wanted to direct you to a new perspective on the whole issue by Sandip Roy on Salon. It's titled how "How Opal Mehta saved our lives." It's a great little piece on how failure and underachievement is quite ok (something that needs to be reierated in our extremely competitive/#1 mentality society) and just a part of life. Perhaps, a few years from now, when she's older and wiser, this whole debacle will remind not only her, but also the rest of us, that sometimes in our quest for success, failure is just a part of that journey.
