That is so absolutely true. And truly, it isn’t easy to do, not even from writers like she was.

Such an insightful post, Aditi! And I simply loved the quote! Most of us don’t know ourselves and what we want from life and people around us!

Thanks Geetika. I agree a lot of us don’t know ourselves and only when we do, we can offer the best of ourselves
