Essex Calling!
The countdown is now down to hours. Usually, when I’m leaving on an international tour (yes, I have had the privilege multiple times…), I’m buzzing with excitement and unusually low on anxiety. This time though, the magnanimity of the situation has dawned on me and I am as anxious as I am excited. I’m almost entirely packed. Now, its just a matter of holding my nerve.
My dad said something rather surprising to me recently. He told me I was taking 5 bags not 4. When I asked him how that could possibly be true, he replied that there was a fifth invisible bag going with me, full of all the good wishes and blessings I have received from all quarters. I couldn’t agree more!
On a parting note, here are lines from a French song I hold very dear, “Au Revoir”:
Au revoir… Mais rien ne s’arrête
Au revoir… Mais ne m’oublie jamais
Au revoir…
À une autre vie pour le meilleur
Où je sais que l’on s’aimerait… que l’on s’aimerait…
[Good bye… But nothing ever stops]
[Good bye… But don’t ever forget me]
[Good bye]
[To another life for the better]
[Where I know that we will still love each other... that we will still love each other]

SUCCESS....
The road to success
Is always very hard
But remember always your hard work
Will give you some reward
Your success may or
May not create history
But remember it will always show you
The road towards victory
Success can take you
To North, South, East or West
But remember always
To give your best
Success you achieve could be the greatest
But whenever in life
You face any ‘test’
Remember my words
‘ALL THE BEST’
with lots of love and goodwishes...
