She left three years ago to do her Graduation in Economics, from the University of Durham. Aparajita, will be graduating this July and we, very much want to be there for her. We want to be a part of her future when she receives the degree. We can tell you with so much of pride, how these years have gone by. We told her that she should always aim high and she took it to heart. The Market Square in Durham She wanted to make both of us proud so she attempted her IELTS and other subjects which would lead her to admission in the prestigious Durham University, in the United Kingdom. The day she was leaving for Newcastle, we were very afraid. Our little daughter had never traveled anywhere alone in this world. She flew British Airways from Bangalore to Newcastle on Tyne.

I was very surprised to see this comment in my inbox yesterday and it was written by one of my dearest friends. He said that he did not like what I do! In spiritual! So why did I join the spiritual bandwagon and what is it that makes me write such stuff on this topic? He truly seemed flabbergasted and wanted to know the whys and the wherefores of it!
