On a foggy winter morning, the gynecologist lovingly held the angel in my arms. She opened her eyes and smiled as I hugged her marveling at her God’s good grace. Her tears welled up and the emotional moment is forever etched in my memory, vivid and unique. A tapestry of dreams and promises enveloped me. Every day brings new emotions and I offer my prayers of gratitude for her milestones.
As parents, we scoured name books and dictionaries for a unique name: a name that encompasses our alphabet, is meaningful, and influences her persona. We named it Suvitti, which means creative, artistic and knowledgeable. According to ancient Indian mythology, a person absorbs the nature of her name and so does her daughter.
Her contagious smile is her greatest asset and captivates everyone. She has an uncanny ability to gel with everything.She clearly remembers her first day at school. She let go of my finger and entered the nursery school. In no time, her daughter started going to school like a duck drinking water. In fact, she was comforting her sobbing new friend. From Miss Nursery to Best All-rounder, we’ve rounded up her school life. Besides her studies, she participates in almost all extracurricular activities such as poetry reading, recitation, flower arranging. The mischievous elf writhes in the hearts of her teachers as the mascot of victory, and numerous memorabilia grace her shelves as a testament. Her enthusiasm for her participation is still active today. Imagine an AI scholar choosing a mandala her art as a unit or writing an essay on the Hindi Diwa.
Blessed with excellent oratory, she mastered the art of competition. Armed with her confidence to host her school event, she aspired to her annual celebration. She stood in front of her department because her application was rejected simply because she was a freshman. To break her stalemate, he asked her to audition within ten minutes of her in her language of choice. Give me a mic, topic and language now – here comes Pat and her reply. The rest is history. She oversaw official events such as book launches as well as festivals and club events. We were so proud of her daughter when she shared a photo of her with the director of the IIT shaking hands with her on stage to compete for her prime function.
A sociable person, she has many friends, including school mates, coaching mates, college mates, club mates, lab mates, and dorm mates. She has this habit of introducing us to all of them.During her travels, she shares her friend’s number, her roommate’s number, her lab mate’s number with her accompanying teacher. I was. When she returns to her home, our home resounds with love and laughter, with many friends calling.
Our dear daughter, we love you for the little girl you were in our arms yesterday and for the amazing young girl you are changing today. I congratulate you for being in life.
