To my beautiful daughter Aditi

Aditi, is a name that dad and mom came up with from no where. We don't know who came up with it first. But we somehow knew that we loved that name. It has a miraculous spiritual connection to your father. But apart from that, there is a small song that got me and dad really inspired by the name Aditi. One fine evening we went out to see a movie which had a song composed by A.R.Rahman. The song carried a beautiful message for a gal called Aditi. Mom wants you to read/listen to it when ever you feel scared, down, or lonely. Know that, I will be always watching over you and loving you from the deepest corner of my heart. Remember one thing always..." Independent we Grow, United We Stand." - Love Mom.

Sometimes in life, Aditi, just like that someone seems like your own
Sometimes Aditi, when they are separated, it seems like a dream
In such, how can anyone stop their tears from flowing
And how can someone think everything’s going to be okay

Sometimes it seems there is no happiness nor fun left in life
Sometimes it seems every day is difficult, every moment is a punishment
In such, how can someone smile, or be happy and laugh
And how can they think everything’s going to be okay

Think dear, how much I care for you
If there are tears in your eyes, I will cry too
I don’t know how to sing, but yet I sing
Hey Aditi, believe for a minute that there is darkness in the entire world
But it’s only after night that day comes

Hey Aditi, laugh, laugh, laugh a little

Or else just give a little, little, little smile

If you are happy, it seems the world is filled with happiness
The sun emerges from the clouds and spreads life
Listen, what the intoxicating wind is telling you
That Aditi, those who are separated, one day do meet again
Aditi, whether you know it or not, flowers do bloom again
