Read this book to awaken the child within
Hello everyone. I am a five-year-old girl going on six. I have not seen my father since I was born. I think God is love. And she probably looks just like my mummy. In my second year of kindergarten, I have learnt my own little big lessons. I would like to share some of them with you:
1. Those who go away never really leave us. There is an eternal fragrance that lingers on.
2. The thrill of life is always the strongest when it seems like it’s all going to end.
3. We own nothing. We lose nothing. Only life continues.
Now, I am an adult. But when I look back, I remember praying to Mrs God that I would only be a Big Girl and never be grown up. When I related my story to Christina Daniels, she could relate to the child within all of us. And the result is Ginger Soda Lemon Pop. She’s a first-time author who graduated from the London School of Economics and landed up at Wipro to manage their Intranet communications. I am glad my life appealed to her. Do read and let me know what you learnt from the book.
PS: Aamir’s new film says, ‘Every child is special.’ This book couldn’t have been better timed.
