Dear Sahana,
The day has come again.Good or bad I have decided to write for you on this day because we must learn to live both in tougher and happier times.It's been a tough week for all of us still mourning for your dad. We have spoken in length before this about how to be prepared for the worst . And the worst has happened and we must move on. We realized soon after marriage that life is not a fairy tale but it's a long journey and we have to travel together admitting to the facts that we lose some of the great heads fighting the battle while we have to survive and reach the destination. That doesn't mean that you have to struggle everytime while the life is a beautiful journey with little struggles. Mantra is to Live the moment and move on. Your father was a good man and was the king of your family. Now it must be you the little princess who has to wear the armour , hold a sword and stand the guard for the kingdom he has built. I admit nothing can replace a father's love and We are all going to miss him but from now on we look up to you instead of him.
Dear Sahana,
In 2016, I ran behind you to fix everything and in 2017 its you who ran behind me to fix every other thing. You fixed so much that I have gained few extra more kilos both in the back and front with a fat tummy 😆😆 . Neighbour Kids have started to call me uncle but I dont feel bad about it except I make a promise to beat my tummy this year again to look normal. And as you promised you seem to have regularized your breakfast routine unlike last year. From weighing 32 KGS immediately after hospital discharge in 2016 to this day, you have perfectly regained the strength to look very healthy. And you don't worry about Appi and Phani pulling you for gaining weight because from now on Appi has the remote with priya (recently married) and Phani's six pack dream is turning out to be an eternity.
Dear Sahana,
Remember how good we felt holding Tagaru(Chethu's son) in our hands. Just born for Smitha and Soma , we together felt like taking him home for ourselves for ever. But then Smitha was ready with a sword to cut down our thoughts to make us realize that she has mothered 9 strong months to get beautiful Tagaru to this world. Such was the joy of holding him in our hands. Don't you tell me your are having a smile remembering him and your heart is pounding an extra or two more beats. He is lively and has grown up already while you were in home for a week now. Lot of good things have happened around our friends this year with Appi and Shavi getting married and us being part of their happy times. As I wrote last year, we have been part of their tough times as well as happier times and you have created an environment around us where we had a happy friendship times.
Dear Sahana,
Thank you for taking me to Gangavathi all the way to plant the trees. As committed last year we did our little to save the environment. And thank you for introducing some of the good friends at vruksha mitra who are doing a fabulous job of planting trees every year and I am proud to be part of their team. Inspired by you to help, I donated little funds to army fund at bhartkeveer app which I think was another good thing we did as a family. We must care for the soldiers and environment. And thank you for infiltrating such thoughts into me. And best part of the year was when I got to meet Dr. Shanbhag sir at an event in Bangalore. I wanted to be part of this group by heart but I am taking some more time as I was politically affiliated towards politics from longtime. With this mindset (I am evolving slowly), I am not in the right frame to enter the group yet but I completely encourage you to be part of them and I will try my best to join you soon.
Dear Sahana,
How in the world is there a way to thank better for helping me realize my passion for farming. From no idea of farming to going back to my village to till the land that was left unused for 10 years was the beginning. And now the land has started to bear the fruit with us taking the veggies from farm to home. In fact in two weeks we are gonna start commercial production of Moringa which will be a landmark achievement of our early thirtees. Some things are going to be remembered through our life and when we grow old we can sit back and think about this. Wish we are gonna experiment more in farming sector and try ourselves to be involved much into it. Wish we enjoy this process and continue farming in coming years inspire of all the odds we might face.
Dear Sahana,
One of the best things I like you about is you spend more money buying books than other things. Usually we do less shopping compared this shopholic world and when we go shopping we go to Sapna book house. How cool is that to tell the world my wife loves to read more. Let us buy as many books as possible and read this year too. Keep reading more , keep learning more , keep updating yourself everyday. The next best thing I like about you is the way you keep things at home. Coming straight from a bachelor house, it took me almost two years to adopt to the way your keeping things. Your home making is so beautiful and so special and I am all in love with it.
Dear Sahana,
Be an independent girl of your dreams and I will be the wing for your flight. I wish you to come out even stronger this year to realize all your dreams.
Stay strong lady ! Happy birthday
