Expensive Deepika & Anisha,
As you stand on the edge of life’s journey, I wish to share with you some classes that life has taught me. Many years in the past, as somewhat boy rising up in Bangalore, I began my tryst with badminton. In these days, there have been no stadiums and courts the place sports activities folks may practice. Our badminton court docket was the marriage corridor of the Canara Union Financial institution close to our home, and it was there that I realized all the pieces concerning the recreation. Every single day, we might wait to see if there was a perform within the corridor, and if there was none, we might rush there after faculty to play to our hearts’ content material. Trying again, I realise that crucial factor about my childhood and adolescent years was my refusal to complain about so much in life. I used to be grateful for the few hours every week we had the chance to hit the shuttle forwards and backwards. In reality, the muse on which I based mostly my profession and my life was the refusal to bitch or whine about something. And that’s what I wish to let you know my youngsters, that there isn’t a substitute for perseverance, hardwork, dedication and keenness for what you select to do. In case you love what you do, nothing else issues — neither awards nor compensation, not even the gratification of seeing your face in newspapers or tv. Once I gained the All England Championship, the prize cash in badminton turned important — £3,000 — an enormous quantity in these days. However that didn’t distract me from the sheer pleasure of getting been instrumental in placing India on the worldwide map of this recreation. Deepika, at eighteen, if you advised us that you simply wished to shift to Mumbai for a profession in modeling, we felt you have been too younger and too inexperienced to be alone in an enormous metropolis and in an trade we knew nothing about. In the long run, we determined to allow you to observe your coronary heart and thought it might be merciless to not give our little one the chance to go after a dream that she lived and breathed for. In case you succeeded, it might make us proud, however even if you happen to didn’t, you wouldn’t have any regrets that you simply didn’t attempt. Deepika, I’ve realized which you can’t all the time win in life, that all the pieces you need won’t come your means. That occasions don’t all the time end up as you need them to. To win some, it’s a must to lose some. You must study to take life’s ups and downs in your stride. The quantity of effort that I put in my recreation by no means diverse from the primary day until my retirement. Even throughout my hardest instances, I centered on what I had, as an alternative of dwelling on what I didn’t. I had the flexibility to make one of the best of the worst circumstances and stay steadfast to my objective. Keep in mind how I consistently let you know each concerning the significance of constructing your means up on the earth with out ready to your mother and father to drag strings? I imagine it’s best for kids to work onerous to make their goals come true and to not have issues handed to them on a platter. If you find yourself dwelling visiting us, Deepika, you make your individual mattress, clear the desk after meals, and sleep on the ground if there are friends at dwelling. In case you often surprise why we refuse to deal with you want a star, it’s since you are our daughter first and a movie star later. The cameras that observe you in every single place and the arc lights will finally fade and what is going to stay is the actual world. Attempt to generate positivity round you though you might be too new and too small a participant to impact an enormous change. You might be in an trade the place there’s all the time going to be massive cash, however I imagine that it is very important attempt to be one of the best in no matter you do whatever the cash. The issues that basically matter in life are relationships, honesty, respect to your mother and father and elders. Materials success is vital, not basic to happiness and peace of thoughts. I can’t let you know sufficient concerning the rejuvenating energy of prayers and somewhat religion. Spare a couple of minutes of your day to shut your eyes and meditate, to consider God and you will note how a lot religion in His energy will strengthen you. In the long run, when your profession is behind you, what stays is household, the buddies that you’ve got made. Dwell a life that’s wholesome and one that can mean you can dwell with your individual conscience. All the pieces else is transient. And bear in mind, it doesn’t matter what, we’re all the time going to be there for you.
Lovingly,
Pappa
