Its a wonderful life!

We all dawned roles in the parody of Ramayana. We all had to act and embrace our parts with a lot of practice. But there was our ‘Suparnaka’ who glamorized a Helen and stole hearts as she kept the beats and created a character who no one would want to forget. While that was her role, in life too she has made the impressions that matter. She lives in hearts and showers joy. In sadness I write, as I know I will miss her, its been a privilege to have a friend in you – Kanchan. She is the birthday star today!

The room sparks up as she walks in. She radiates humor and calmness that gives an everyday boost. She has an understated glamor that she carries with so much poise. Western or Indian, she has a smart elegance. She is not the one who pretends, she keeps every moment real. She has her battles, yet she smiles her worries away. A friend to all, she keeps no sides, it’s ‘true character’ that makes her admirable. In her heart and her home, there is a system to her madness. A sportive person, ready to embrace, she makes jokes or is willing to be the joke, all in dignity and grace. She shares the same culinary imperfections as me and that makes me love her more. With mounting pressures and quick changes, she has shown optimism in every mode. Challenges are many, tasks are never ending, but she holds the fort like no one I know. Amidst all this chaos, as she ticks of her check list, she is ready to give you a helping hand without any hesitation. Her deepest love has been the monk, oh don’t be fooled, the Old Monk is what I meant! I love her zest for life, and willingness to change and see change. She sees people but doesn’t judge them. She stays grounded and defines humility. She has a remarkable husband who balances with utmost charm. Her affectionate daughter, spreads her warmth to one and all.

There is always that one friend, whose spontaneity and cool attitude teaches you more in life than the deepest philosophies. She has been the heart of our apartment complex and now she gets ready to embrace a new chapter in her life, where she has grown to be someone so remarkable. On her birthday, here’s wishing you all that is happy and more, and to let you know how much you would be missed at Harmony Homes. May you always keep your madness alive and remember the charm you are leaving behind here in Bangalore. Do make your visits to Bangalore atleast an annual agenda. Much love and hugs on your birthday!
