Many thanks sir. I have read a few of Raj Chatterjee’s delectable middles. He could weave magic with words.
I agree with the resolutions, particularly the first one. At times pulling back from a dispute is a great victory.
Regards and a happy 2024.

Dear Yamuna ji,
Permit me to borrow an expression from Gurudev Tagore,

“Praise shames me, because secretly, I beg for it”

Keep doing the noble work which you are doing. We invite you to write a piece for our blog. Tell us about you work, and the rich experience which you gained when living overseas.
Regards to your husband,
Surjit

Dear General,

I’ve been so slack of late with responding to mails in my inbox.

I love reading all that comes in your blog, and simply put off the business of a reply to a later date that simply doesn’t show up!!!

Thank you so much for your greetings & good wishes for the New year ( still new I guess since we’ve just stepped into the third month!!!)

I loved the Seven Axioms too and like you said the last one is the best and will remain relevant all through time.

Nothing to beat, giving and sharing be it the wealth you amass or simply kind words and deeds.

Just the effort to be kind and helpful is so precious.

I never miss a chance to say this to the youngsters I meet …….. the ones who are always in a rat race!!

Hope you have been well and busy. I still run the Play School for tiny tots that I started seven years ago.

Keeps me young I must say, though all the hard work is done by the team of five excellent teachers I have.

Best wishes to you & the family from my husband Pradeep & me.

Warm regards,

Yamuna

Dear Surjit,
Bala and I heartily reciprocate the good wishes for the new year.

The seven point program is good and worth emulating.

Dear General Saab,

1. Last thing first. I liked the brief life sketch of the ‘Boxwalla’ who became ‘middleman’. I as an inspiring story of a wise man.Alas! wisdom has become too scarce now a days.I too loved reading middles of Raj Chatarjee.
2. You said, you did not have the copy of the middle that guided you.But whatever you have written from your memory, is itself a literary piece. I liked the advices and they gave me better insight.
3. Than you very much for your greetings for the new year. I reciprocate them heartily.
With regards.

I continue pondering on your 7 Axioms for the New Year. I do agree with you that these axioms remain relevant for every new year, no matter how many ’40 years’ may pass. It’s a piece of profound
visionary wisdom. Potentially a game changer in life. Wish more & more people practice these with every new year, & thereby make this world heaven on earth!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
