Niti,

You have started to walk off late and it has been great joy for us. To just see you take the first few steps and learn how do it consistently has taken you over 2 months now. It is another story that you are making us run because you can walk.

During this process, you fell several times and hurt yourself. I felt bad to begin with wanted you to stop trying for a few days. In the end, I had to fight the urge and let go of my fears because I knew at all times, you never had any.

Like one of those many algorithms I wrote the steps

1. Try to Walk

2. Fall Down

3. Cry

4. Forget about it

The above four steps have been repeated in a loop over and over again before 2, 3 & 4 have been slowly eliminated in due course.

Through this process I have realised, it is essential for me to leave you to fall down and learn. I hope to keep this lesson for a life time. I hope to learn, to control myself during this never ending learning process you have begun.

I don’t want you to get hurt but, you can be rest assured I will pick you up every time and put you back on your feet to forget the past and keep walking.

Love,

Appa
