Dear Dhaani, This picture is from a time when you could not walk on your own. You held Pappa s fingers and explore the beauty of this world. Your hands would encircle my finger and together we walked. We were very eager that time that you would soon start walking all by yourself. I still remember , how one day you covered your first 4 metres on your own two feet in our living room. Slowly, you became very confident of your walks and runs. Now, you run all over and we have to hold you from running. Let me confess this, I miss the times when you depended on me  to walk.  The joy of not letting you fall, the satisfaction of teaching you that it's okay to fall at times, the frolic of falling down with you ; are all etched in my memory.

Life is a book everyone writes for himself/ herself. In this book, there are chapters of challenges, love, celebrations, hardships, joy, fulfillment and what not. It's great until we are content with reading our own book. The book which we have written with so much love and hard work. Every book has wonderful chapters which represent different stages of our life. I agree that the chapters are not always happy and fun filled. They have their share of failures, pain, heartbreak, and misery as well. But we learn from these chapters and move ahead with the book of life. So far so good.  But, when in our free time, and while browsing through social media our phone, we invariably  start peeking in other books. We start reading what others life is all about and from what we read it looks like their book has more happy stories than ours. Only we don't know that we do not have full access to others life book. The authors of those books only show us the happy parts o...
