My dear dad,

My joy has no bounds to receive your Letter. I am amazed to have it as my birthday present. I feel as if you are sitting beside me and talking to you.

I am thrilled to read about the historic events how history has made simple, ordinary people become heroes. It is overwhelming to know how Babuji’s magic message has stolen the hearts of India’s millions. As you say, we too take some part in this great drama of the freedom movement.

Your words are so powerful. il and I shall respect India’s honour which is a secret trust. I am grateful dad for imparting so much about the history of India. Like Babuji, I shall be truthful and have no room for secrecy or hiding. I’m sure to make friends with the sun and work in the lights.

With your hearty wish, I’ll grow up unafraid serene, and unruffled, whatever may happen. I’ve read the letter completely and energized very much. I’ll be a brave soldier in India’s service fulfilling your dreams.

With much love and deep regards.

Yours loving daughter,
Indira Priyadarshini.
