Personal Updates.

Yesterday, on the 10th of December 2023 (Sunday), marked Radha and Eshwar's Second Wedding Anniversary. It's astonishing how swiftly time flies. I vividly recall the chaotic yet hilarious moments when it seemed like World War III erupted at home, all centered around the pivotal reason for her marriage! Ah, the amusing chaos that ensued! Also, It's reminiscent of Laltiha's journey back in 1990 when she traveled miles to meet me in Bharuch and she said "YES". Similarly, Radha ventured across miles to encounter Eshwar in New York back in 2020, a moment that eventually led to her saying YES.

Today, the 11th of December (Monday),also holds special significance as it marks the 1st Wedding Anniversary for Shravan and Sangeetha, who are currently relishing their time in Udaipur. I can still vividly remember that Summer day in 2019 when Shravan, amidst stutters and stammers, stood on our terrace, wanting to let me know, his feelings for Sangeetha. My response? A resounding YES, uttered in mere nanoseconds! hahahhahahah!!!!!

Shravan, Sangeetha, Radha, and Eshwar are nothing short of divine blessings bestowed upon us. They are our four cherished children, and the bond they share is simply remarkable. May this bond endure and flourish for decades to come.

Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in a "MEETUP" session on a networking platform that connects like-minded individuals both virtually and in person. This past Saturday, I engaged in a captivating 90-minute virtual session on Forming Habits, hosted by Mr. Sunil. The insights gained were truly enriching, and I plan to delve deeper into such avenues to further enrich my personal growth in the months ahead.

Additionally, I've embarked formally on a new journey as an Insurance Advisor, a significant diversification in my career. Having successfully passed the insurance regulatory exam, I'm gearing up to reach out to individuals in the days ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on this front! I shall be harrassing you a bit on this to get business like a shameless Salesman!

On a more somber note, today also marks the 22nd Anniversary of my Aunt, Savithri (Periamma). Her guiding presence was a pillar of strength for both my dad and mom, and her absence continues to be deeply felt. With my mom and she gone, the bonding between us cousins are never the same!! We need to work something.

I end this post with an exciting, reunion planned with my cousin Viswanathan Gandhimohan, (Chitappa's son) after 36 years on 13th December here at Bangalore. India will appear very different for this Brazilian citizen!

Warm regards,

Karthik
