To you, My dear wife, I owe all. The joys that have sustained me - the smiles that removed my grins - the happiness that flows inside me. I owe all these to you - for you made me understand the meaning of my life.
From being a mechanical robot - like `pursuer of goals'- you transformed me into a HUMAN with values. You made it possible for me to laugh at my failures and smile at my foolishnesses.
For when I learnt to relax - as you sub-liminally taught me - `goals' were easier to achieve. I learnt from you that all journies neednot be HARD CORE TREKKING.
From the eternal cloud-flying habits - you helped me descend to being a `walker' than a `flier'. From building castles in the air - you helped me build a small `home' on a rock solid foundation. From being a `loner' you made me a family man. To you, I owe all that I am today.
As I begin the most adventurous part of my journey of life - I have a smile on my lips and a song in my heart - and this is because of you. I know you will be there when I need you most.

WHO AM I? I AM MYSELF!
Who am I? It is easy to answer if an identification is to be made. My nationality, my colour of skin, my age, my diseases etc. etc will identify me. Yet to me - myself; I still cannot answer this question - WHO AM I?
I may be sometimes what I claim to be - and at other times I maynot be. This is my paradox - I donot know WHO I AM? Sometimes people help - they identify me as a just person or an unjust one; liar or truthful - and by other actions that I perform. But even then the question remains unanswered.
BUT there is one thing I know very clearly - I AM MYSELF! I know my body very well - what it can and can't do - I know who are my enemies and who are my friends - I know which family I belong to.
BUT there is another way I know myself - I know my good desires and bad desires - I know when I am a saint and when I am a rogue - when I have thoughts that if people knew they would hang me from the nearest electric pole.
I know I am good - yet I can be very bad. I know I am honest - but often I am dishonest! I know I am - yet, their lurks this doubt - WHO AM I? It is at such times I tell myself - I AM MYSELF!
