Why Gratitude Matters
Sometimes, the emotions of the heart are so strong that words struggle to capture them fully. For me, gratitude for my mother, father and teachers is not just a formality it’s a vital part of my life. It connects me to the beauty of my world.
Today, I’m sharing something deeply personal: gratitude letters I’ve written from the heart. These letters, blending a little Hindi and English, reflect my true feelings. My hope is that my words inspire you to say Dil se shukriya (thank you from the bottom of heart) to the special people in your life.
