Hello darling,

But, what if you do exist. Inspite of whatever circumstances and adversarial situations, what if you do exist someday. Would you grow up believing that I gave up on you ? That’s such a terrible thought, especially for someone so optimistic as me. Well, at least I was and I would like to believe I still am.

I think time adds layers onto everything. You leave an old piece of furniture and layers of dust rest on it. You leave a piece of earth and slowly layers of grass grow. You leave a person to time, they gather layers onto them. But, you remove the layers a bit and try to peek in and you find that old person again.

I might have changed, might have taken actions for the good, bad and ugly. But, I think I am somewhere still the same person I was and have been, in fact now even more so.

I want to tell you so much again and I have so much to share. But, today I will leave you with one video which inspired me the most from one of my most favourite icons.

There is hope and joy in living. Maybe, there is greatness inside us, but that is secondary. I just want to add to the above. You should give yourself space for self-doubt, maybe it’s okay to be lost for sometime. But I hope, eventually, with a little help from all your loved ones, you find hope and joy again. Just like Apu at the end of Apur Shongshar. I have found you again.

With hope for the both of us,
Dad
