Dearest Radhika

How are you doing? Hope all is well on your end.

Time seems to fly so fast – it has already been almost 6 months since you must have started your college life, isn’t it!?!! Are you enjoying the adventure? Hope it has been easy for you to adjust to the new lifestyle, learn new subjects, and make new friends. I remember during my junior college days being overwhelmed with all of the above! A silly titbit for you – Aishwarya Rai was my junior college batchmate and once she came over and asked me for a pen. My friends pull my leg about that, even now!

Please do share with me your experience with college life – I would love to know. So exciting it must be!

I felt like sharing with you that on Feb 16th, my mother turned 75 and we celebrated her birthday with a simple function with our close family friends. My parents are both aging gracefully, and I am glad that I am able to spend time with them now. I do pray and wish that they can meet with you someday, soon.

Gurudev is now in Mumbai. I am looking forward to being in His presence this weekend.

You have a lot going on. Until we speak, I can only remind you via these letters, to please take good care of your health and well-being and that we all love you.

I am very proud of you and am looking forward to hearing from you.

Blessings

Your Baba
