-Karthik Gurumurthy
I am currently in India spending time with my parents. It was not a planned trip here and taking things as it comes and doing things as according to the needs of the day.
Couple of weeks back, I celebrated my tenth anniversary of my 28th birthday-:). It was special because I spent it with my parents here in India after 15 years. As I am spending time here with my parents, I am thankful for lot of things God has bestowed me upon. The list is endless, but I am going to pen down whatever comes to my mind.
- I am thankful to God for giving me wonderful parents and my brother who had poured unconditional love and affection on me. My parents did whatever they could to make our life better than what they had and sacrificed a ton to give us the best education and support more than what they could have physically afforded. They went the extra mile, sought help and did whatever needed to be done so that we can have a better lifestyle. I am permanently indebted to them for all they did and they continue to do and we really wish we can do the same for our kids.
- Along the same lines, I am thankful to God for blessing my Dad and my mom with a long life and keeping them healthy, strong and happy and making sure all their organs are functioning properly.
- I am grateful to God for blessing me with a beautiful (both inside and outside) wife who had been my change agent in my life. She is my best friend and completes me in all areas. She totally exemplify unconditional love and personifies womanly intuitions which have given me a totally different perspective which has helped understand different things in a better way. I am fortunate to have her as my wife and she has been always by my side and has been greatest encourager and cheerleader. I am hoping I do the same for her.
- I am thankful for all my teachers (from Kindergarten to Graduate School) who shared their nuggets of knowledge and wisdom which has helped me to do my profession well.
- I am thankful to all friends and family (plenty to name!) who had shown the presence of God & guided me for good, and had given unconditional support at times of need and am grateful to them forever for being there during the times of adversity and really hoping I would be there for them (in times of need).
- I am thankful to all my employers, business associates and students for giving me an opportunity to serve them.
- I am thankful to all my coaches, mentors for guiding me in the right path and showing me the light at the end of the tunnel when I had difficulty believing myself. I would like to set the right good example for everyone to follow.
- I am thankful for making each day count towards my goals so that I can lead a life of significance.
- I want to be known and remembered for having devoted myself to my family, being a good human being, creating great wealth and using that wealth to help others.
