People in my life

All this world is an empty place without people in it.

Even if you own all the riches, and don’t have people around to share your wealth and joy, it’ll equal the worth of dust.

Gratitude is the way to show how much one appreciates life. And life is nothing without the experiences learned. Experiences are gained by living with people. Some whom I have met and some whom I have only interacted one way – they talk, I listen through their written work. I once read a book called ‘The Five People You Meet In Heaven‘ which talks about 5 key people who have made a paradigm shift in one’s life, either knowingly or unknowingly, either by them on our life or by us in their lives. In the same way, I wanted to mention, quote and show my gratitude to my people for teaching me their pieces of lessons in life, which when put together makes my complete life – I am made of what I have learned from them. Some of them include people from my work-life too like Tracey Grant, Sudhakar Tetali, etc.

I neither have just 5 people nor am I sure I will go to heaven – but all I know is that without their presence in this life, I don’t know what my life would have turned about.

My Family
Everyone in it. Especially Father, Mother, Brother, and Wife, for everything they have done, do and will do.
My mere words cannot thank you enough.

Doctors and Nurses
Dr. Lalitha Rao in Kerala, GYN who took care of my birth.
Nurses who administered medicinal drops and care for my healthy birth and growth even before I started to walk.

School Teachers
Kindergarten, High school, and college teachers – every one of them.

Workplace
Tracey, Sudhakar

Friends My (very few) close friends like Shridhar Mahadevan and many others whose names I don’t know – like the few good hearts who appear in the news for good reasons and the strangers on the roads in this Big Good World.

Thank You.

I am a collector of stuff that is related to mind and brain - and more broadly, stuff that's about 'thinking'. This website is all about 'thinking', books on thinking, videos, podcast resources on thinking and thus you can safely play around 'thinkering' here.

Happy thinking! Don't forget to connect with me on Twitter.
