Hello Indra,
I love how you’re father managed to learn several languages. I have yet to be able to learn Cantonese. ( I want to but everyone says learning mandarin is the way to go.) I like to make things difficult for myself. A challenge feels more rewarding in the end. I applaud his ability to master those languages enough to translate them.
I am currently a Literature Master holder. My degree has yet to be sent out but I will get it soon. However, I certainly enjoyed writing my thesis as I am now taking the time to go over the thesis bit by bit and add more to it.
Hopefully, someday this will be a publishable piece. Thank you for the beautiful words about you and the empathetic way that you live your life.
