PS You've made me think of one of my favourite songs - 'Build' by The Housemartins.

Oh wow, just wow, Punit! Congratulations on 4 years, and I'm excited for your new future!

Awesome poem. Have saved it to ponder again and again - it's a keeper - well, they all are, but this one has touched a particular part of me today! Thank you so much - and again, congratulations!

I was back in the comments reading what Mom used to write me, and I spotted your lovely comment, Rebecca. So sorry I missed your kind words and wishes. I'm glad that my writing touched you in a meaningful way. I feel such a debt of gratitude to my mother that she encouraged me to write ever since childhood and now here I am spreading joy through my words. Thanks again for being such an amazing part of the Hello Universe community.🙏

Oh Punit, I absolutely love this one!!! Especially “Yes, each little 'making', each 'doing', each 'try',

paints futures brand new in reality's sky.” ❤️ Congratulations on 4 years!!! 🥳

That was my favorite line to write, haha! Thanks for being a happy part of Hello Universe for so long, Ariana, and all the best for the future you're building in New York!

You're on a roll for sure! You have also inspired me to give poetry writing a go. I wrote a bunch of poems in college and to this day I regret having lost them in one of my many moving adventures. Or perhaps they are still hidden somewhere in our boxes out at our barn (though I have looked). Four years looks good on you, let there be man many more! Happy Birthday my friend!
