2021 have been a year with an extreme emotional rollercoaster ride. I have been in the hospital twice and then I recently came to know that I have heart disease. It is quite strange how you think your life will be and how it is! I don't regret any aspect of my life as it taught me many lessons both good and bad! Talking about books, I have read some wonderful books this year and what stole my heart are The last Queen, False Allies, My name is Red! Also, quite an unbelievable incident that happened is that I got to meet Manu S.Pillai. *sigh* He is a true inspiration for the current generation. He is an example of success after hard work, something that I should learn in my life! My little brother got married this year which is also wonderful. I have quite a lot to tell. Maybe I will add later but I want to wish everyone who is reading this A very Happy New Year and a healthy, productive year for both of us! Cheers Keerthana...

Dear Atlanta, I hope this letter finds you in your best health! Life has not been the same from the time you left. The eagerness to wake up has literally gone out of the clouds. I am writing this not to complain about my de-motivated days. What I am going to say is going to be a shock to you! As you know in my previous letter I mentioned a certain man that has become my friend Lucifer! The other day I saw him walking on the aisle of our gate with a very tense look on his face. I went up to him and asked what is the cause of this agitated behaviour. He looked at me and told me to leave my home as soon as possible as disaster is going to fall upon me! Of course, I told him that whatever the matter is please be frank. He hesitated in the beginning but eventually gave in. He told me that he has been seeing strange dreams about me being murdered by a person wearing a strange mask! I laughed the minute he said that and I told him I would be rather happy to have such a death because that would be a much exciting moment in my life considering the drag that I am going through. He told me not to take the matter lightly as some of his dreams have come true. I told him not to worry and thank you so much for his consideration....

It was an auspicious Monday morning for the Padmabhushans. Their only daughter Vainika was getting married to someone who her father did not approve of much. No, it wasn’t a love marriage but it cannot be called an arranged marriage either. Vainika and Ashok knew each other from childhood. They were in the same neighbourhood of the village and used to visit the same temple regularly. The temple festival were other days when they used to see each other. The families did know each other but weren’t friendly as Padmabhushan was a rich man whereas Ashok s father passed away and left nothing for his wife and children. They had to fend for themselves with the milk their Gitalakshmi had to give. Their cow was indeed a lucky one for Ashok as it was the reason Vainika spoke to him the first time. Ashok was the youngest among his siblings of 2 brothers and 2 sisters. He used to take Gitalakshmi for grazing when he s back from school. It used to be the same time when Vainika used to return with her mother from the temple after the evening prayers. Being an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna, she always bowed before a cow believing it as the Gow Mata. And she was overjoyed to find Gitalakshmi on her way back to bow before and thus slowly Vainika and Ashok started talking. Padmabhushan did not like any of his family members talking to someone below their status, in short everyone. He did...

It's quite unbelievable that we have successfully survived the year 2020 and entered 2021. Like everyone around, I am extremely anxious about the uncertainty every year brings forth. Every individual had a life-changing experience. I know that sometimes the unknown can be scary but trust me being ignorant is a bliss. We already have so much on our head whether it be work or personal so why worry about the future. We have to believe that whatever happens always happens for our good. If some event occurs that wasn't meant to be, whether bad or good it is our karma. The true path to a happy and healthy life is not just a good diet or meditation. It is more of our life choices. We cannot just blame or complain about the mishaps that happen onto others, like how the whole world decided to shut down a country for the release of a virus. The accountability of the disease is not just one person or the country it is actually we all humans. We have done enough mean and bad things to our Planet and in return, she only supported us with water and food. We forget that we are just a part of the ecosystem and not the entire ecosystem. It is quite sad that even after this pandemic hit us so hard, we still find people not realising that we should save our dear Earth, not just for us but for our future generations. The selfish and greedy...
