Hello from a rainy, wet day in Mumbai. It is one of those days when you simply curl up with an old memory. And for me it is a book which I read when I was just 13 years old, and it's amazing how we keep coming back to certain books in our lives. The book was Mr. God, this is Anna. I read it as a 13 year old, like I said. And it is a book which has really stayed with me through the years

This quote is what gave me the courage as a 14 year old to convince my family to let me go to the US and study all on my own back in 1997. And the second, if you're good, life is good. I can't think of a more simplistic formula for happiness. Thank you so much for this amazing post that helped me revisit some amazing character defining memories

Hey, Jazz, I didn't know you were a Role Dal fan, and that's the wonderful thing about this platform. You discover new things about everybody, though. You've met them for the longest time, you know. And Dal to me, was an absolutely enthralling writer. And what is amazing about him is the influence he's had over generations. I used to read to my kids
