Big day for yooki- she has her grade 4 Olympiad - she prepped all by herself and she is in school basketball team too

Whatever you're doing, do it well. If you're writing a thank you note, take an extra minute to mention something beyond the typical thank you. If you're exercising, do each set as well as you can. If you're in conversation, really listen and don't just wait for your turn to talk. 

Having high standards adds up. You can nearly always find an extra minute to do it better. And most important, you prove to yourself that you're the type of person who does things well."

Baby prithvi in Hong Kong

Halloween 2025

I got a big big urge to write this to both you - please read -

Dear Prithvi and Yooki,

Yesterday I was with friends and we were discussing being a  old mom to a new born and my biggest concern was not being there for you guys when you will be 120 or maybe even earlier. And I wish I could maximize my time with you not just in terms of how much I am giving you now but in terms of number of years so I could be available to you, to share milestones or just take care.

I am so proud of Yooki - she is already 9 but so responsible. She is sensitive and strong and I am realizing  they are two parts of the same coin. But prithvi is still a baby so I don't how he will shape up. I was thinking how it will be when you guys will be old and I wont be there to comfort you. Mostly I was thinking of moments that you will be alone and I want to say that even when alone know that you are not - and be strong - coz a version of me will be there with you. 

I am fortunate that for many many years I have had you guys sleeping on my hand.  Not just in nights but also in the afternoons - prithvi you are 16 months and we have consistently had 2 hour long afternoon naps snug and cozy in eachothers arms. 

For yooki I dont know if I took a pic, i dont get to hug her as much after you are born but before that we were inseparable - maybe I will one of the days hug and sleep with her and take a pic- but this is a picture of prithvi sleeping in my arms. So know that both of you there were many many moments - not moments butdays and years- you were snug in my arm and you still are - even if you are 120 years and I am in third dimension.  You both have received. so much of love, nourishment and strength and I want that echoing in you when you are low - hold my hand when you dont know what to hold. It is always outstretched for you.

Now some random things: 

Do read the book - life in 3 dimensions - it speaks of psychologically rich life..its a great read -

I was reading about investing in the most authentic version of yourself. You escape competition through authenticity. That's coz I am in weird crossroads where I get lots of calls and chances to work on various scripts and I feel so confused and then I use it as my compass on deciding which film to do.

Also some wisdom I found in internet/inbox:

Independence is a spectrum:

Independence is a spectrum. Independence is not something you either have or don't have, it's not binary like that.

Now, some people value independence more than others. Some people want to be higher on the spectrum than others. There's no right answers on how much you should want. But too many people don't bother chasing independence because it seems out of reach, when in fact they could easily – be improving their independence spectrum, and in turn improve their lives.

The trick is viewing every bit of savings as having actively purchased something, even if it doesn't come with a receipt: You have purchased the ability to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want. And it is priceless.

Contentment is the biggest wealth: Psychological wealth is such an important concept, and with money it comes from proper expectations. Happiness is contentment. Contentment is what we have relative to what we want. All happiness is in life is just the gap between expectations and circumstances. The person who has everything but wants even more feels poorer than the person who has little but wants nothing else. The key is realizing that happiness is the state when nothing is missing, regardless of the lifestyle you're living.

Desire is a hidden form of debt that must be repaid before you get to feel any happiness. There is a Stoic saying: "Not needing wealth is more valuable than wealth itself." To be content with what you have is the deepest way to enjoy the house you've purchased, the clothes you wear, and the vacations you take.
