Dear Vishnu,
Today marks a very special day as we celebrate your 25th birthday! It’s hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. This year is even more special because we get to celebrate together after three long years.
From the moment you were born, you brought immense joy and love into our lives. Watching you grow from a curious child into a remarkable young man has been a privilege. Your determination, kindness, and passion for life continue to inspire everyone around you.
Remember the countless hours spent getting dragged along by Di, stealing some coins for a neighbourhood servant, getting emotionally blackmailed by Amma, crying your heart out saying you don’t want to go to boarding school (after watching Tare Zameen par) and most importantly the blabber about Honda Makiva – wondering where you even conjured up this name (Have posted this video towards the end), Looking back, amazed that you were able to create an audio content out of nothing and quite decent language for that age. Cannot forget after a nice treatment innocently asking if you can join me for an evening walk or asking if we can go to the beach (taking me on guilt trip).
Those were the days filled with laughter and endless curiosity. Somethings that stood out
Academic Achievements: Your dedication to your studies has always been commendable. Especially your uncanny ability to set expectations very low (to the extent, saying you may even flunk the exams and then getting highest marks in the school in some subjects (BTW! Did you meet the teacher who said she will jump off the terrace if you score highest?) From excelling in school to pursuing higher education, your hard work has paid off in so many ways. To appearing on the University BEST board and reserved to the extent you did not want to sign consent for use of your photograph on the promos. Being humble to the degree of fault?
Moment that would make any parent very Proud
Yes! I am talking about this banner
On a serious note! You have made us extremely proud at all steps and we thank the the Divine for this wonderful gift. Returning to India to meet me after 2 years to pursue your internship here to me personally was the Biggest Gift that I could ever ask for!
Over the years, you’ve faced challenges with resilience and grace. Your ability to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger is truly admirable. Landing up two opportunities as you you returned must have done a world of good to your already soaring confidence – a luxury to reject an offer is something not many aspirants can dream of in these days. You are worth tons of gold for anyone.
Today, we celebrate not just your birthday, but the incredible person you have become. As we celebrate this milestone, let’s cherish the memories we’ve created and look forward to the adventures that lie ahead.
As you step into this new chapter of your life, may you continue to pursue your dreams with the same passion and determination. May you find happiness in every moment and success in all your endeavors. Remember, no matter where life takes you, you will always have a home filled with love and support.
Here’s to you, Vishnu! May your 25th year be filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable experiences. Happy Birthday! May God and Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji’s blessings be upon you at every moment of your life ahead.
Don’t miss this folks!
