Manisha's Letter to me

Respected Sir,

For all the trouble you took to make me see the reality of life…
For that something which I took home everyday besides homework...
For making me understand the difference between making money and making a difference…
For being the magnet which activates the compass of curiosity, knowledge and wisdom…
For making me understand the power and impact of genuine appreciation…
For making me see the safe light in the darkroom and making evident the differences between image and reality…
For inspiring me throughout me journey from “Parts of Speech “ to “Johanathan Livingston Seagull” and forever…


Finally for all the smiling doctors ,humane scientists and considerate lawyers you have guided into this world.

A “Thank you” would be too small a word.


Hope today is Extra special for you.

-Manisha
