Hugging with letters

Gone are the days when we recieved or sent cards. Birthday,christmas,diwali...even friendship day cards. I use to fall in love with them. I used to even hang the cards from one end to the other with a thread in my room! I have kept all those safe with me. My most treasured possessions . Yeah I know it sounds kiddish! But I cannot explain how much I love cards & letters !! It also serves as an historical record ! Imagine your great grandchildren finding these cards. They will be able to travel back to your world. They get a peek into your creative side. You are indirectly passing on a message to them.....' How to value relationships' !!! .Nothing more satisfying than seeing a greeting card addressed in your name in the mailbox when your eyes are tired of seeing the bills &magazines ! Sending a message on whatsapp or fb might be easier ( anyone can do that) but the joy in a person's face when they get a card or a letter just cannot be masked. Just the thought that someone took the effort to go to a shop to buy you a card .., took the pain to find your address ,write it down and post it makes you feel good. The sweat and blood ( blood... Well... sorry for the exaggeration . ) that goes in it can't be put to words ! ... Now no one takes the pain. No one has the time . Yet everyone has time for everything else.Crazy right? There was a time when people sent e-cards. I guess that season is over as well. I would prefer a personalized handmade card any day than any expensive gift ! Unless you sent a card... You will not receive one ! So let's start sending cards to our friends . It’s up to you take the initiative and begin! I started ....hope you will too :)

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala. My mother was very upset as my cousins and friends got into Science groups and she pushed me into Commerce Group. I was used to tell everyone that “Useless fellow, useless fellow, useless fellow are in Commerce Group and all the useless ones are in commerce group.” She was...

“When Love Becomes a Language”

It has been 9 years since I married Rohit and became a part of this beautiful family, and in that time I came to know Amma as an all-rounder. I remember once asking Appa about the collection of awards in the showcase, and he told me that most of them belonged to Amma. From writing to creative thinking, to receiving “Best Employee” awards at Cochin Refinery.. ( thats wher she worked) —she was always at the top in everything she did. I even came across her handwritten recipe book, filled with recipes for many dishes including doughnuts which was uncommon back then. Every page was written with neat handwriting and exact measurements. Rohit often told me how Saturdays at home were almost like a feast when Amma would prepare a variety of new dishes for the family. Food was her love language and she found joy in serving the family. Amma had a way of finding cute coincidences. Amma told me soemthig she had figured out. she told that all the daughter in laws of the house....
