Guru Purnima

Couldn’t gather a few words to write a crisp note and put a status update on Facebook, so, here I am - with the twilight setting in – writing a blog to thank all the wonderful people who have been a part of my journey over these years. It couldn’t be a better day than this to write on this auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima. From my Grandfather till my younger brother, my relatives, school mates, music and drawing colleagues, theatre team, my CA fraternity, and each and every person who has touched my life directly or indirectly with their positive aura and have inspired me throughout my life. It can be for years, months, even a single day or an hour or just a couple of minutes.. Words can’t suffice to thank you all enough for guiding me through your experiences.

A Badawala thanks for whatsoever moments I got to share with you - from an ephemeral one or to a lasting one.

Thank you for showing me my mistakes..

Thank you for giving me strength when I was demotivated..

Thank you for each moment that you spared from your precious time to nurture me..

Thank you for everything..

Whatever is good in me is because of the inputs from you all. And what is bad is of course my very own fault for not implementing the good things that I’ve learnt in spite of knowing it. But yes, as Wordsworth has quoted – To begin, begin – that needs to be imbibed.

My heartfelt pranam to all the elders and a tight handshake to all the contemporaries who have inculcated the good in me.

And of course, I can’t end up without asking for forgiveness, if anytime, I may have hurt you by my words or actions. Will always be looking forward for the perennial flow of inspiration from you all.

“Wishing a very Happy Guru Purnima”
