Grandfather's open letter to his grandchildren

- K V lax Lakshminarayan

My dearest Anmol and Rudra,

As I sit down to write this letter, I can't help but smile. Life has been an incredible journey, and while it comes with its ups and downs, it's also full of beauty and lessons. I'd like to share a few thoughts with you today, in the hope that these lessons will serve you well as you move forward.

When I was your age, or even 10-15 years older, I didn't fully grasp just how quickly time flies. One moment you are in school and college, surrounded by friends, and the next, you're looking back, wondering where the years went. That's why it's so important to be in the present. Really be there, in every moment.

These days, I notice how glued we all are to our phones - constantly checking messages, scrolling through photos, Instagram reels, getting lost in notifications. It's almost as if the world around us fades away. But let me tell you, the best moments in life aren't captured on a screen. They're lived and one needs to experience it and be aware of it. So when you're with your friends, your family, try to put that phone aside and soak in what's happening around you. Life isn't about how many pictures you have, but about the memories you create and the people you share them with and in the bargain spread happiness.

Learn for yourself
