On a bright summer afternoon in London you stood on the cot balancing your self and I asked you to jump right into my arms, standing a few feet away and without any hesitation, you jumped.

I held you in my arms for a second as I was surprised you jumped, very much against your instinct of self protection. I understood that day that you have put your trust in me. I felt a sense of pride and along with it an overwhelming sense of responsibility. Here you are just an year old and you are willing to trust this man standing across you.

I made a promise that day Niti and I will treasure this trust and hold on to it for the rest of my life. I will trust you no matter what. There might be situations in the future, tough ones where this trust will be put to sword but, I will stand by my words regardless of what happens.
