India Currents gave me a voice in days I was very lost. Having my articles selected for publishing was very validating – Shailaja Dixit, Executive Director, Narika, Fremont
Finding you Fearless… I taught you to Fear.
Eternally Curious… I taught you Indifference.
Charmingly Honest… I taught you Pretence.
Openly Friendly… I taught you Caution.
Implicitly Trusting… I taught you to Doubt.
Clingingly Needy… I taught you Independence…
…and considered it a ‘Job’ well done!
Now My Child, it’s your turn.
Hold my hand and teach me to be…
Fearless.
Curious.
Honest.
Friendly.
Trusting.
Needy.
Do your “Job.”
Teach me to Love!
