TO MY VAIKHA

Dear granddaughter,
You are only a few days old; but we all started loving you as soon as it became clear that you are on your way to this world.
You may never read this letter; or you may find it iif you go through the archives of this blog.
As my father broke away from our ancestral home, he wandered from place to place, unable to decide where to settle. So we were all born without a home. My children too were homeless, as we were staying in government accommodation.
For you, plans for a home were drawn and foundation work completed even before you were conceived. This is destiny.
When you become a beautiful young lady, you may get hundreds of letters expressing abundant love for you. Some may be genuine, others fake. Alas! There is no way of finding what is in the heart of men and women Try to choose a wise guy who can share your dreams.
I cannot even think of the world in the year 2030.
By present indications, China may be the most powerful nation in the world, combining technology and man power. I hope you will not have to face a nuclear war during the coming years. Read at least a gist of the Mahabharat war; how everything in the North India was razed to the ground because a dispute between brothers could not be resolved peacefully!
Man is the most foolish animal that kills its own brothren. No other animal does it. God gave us too much intelligence which we are using to destroy each other, not for healing.
While choosing a career, importance must be given for obtaining maximum peace of mind, not for amassing money.
