It was 31st January for world but a special day for us as we celebrate your birthday! You turned 10, Aarav! Time do really flies my son, Aarav! Its been an incredible decade together, I feel like 10 years has passed in the blink of an eye!
I wrote a letter on your 10th Birth Day, Aarav, Here it is..
Dear Aarav,
10 years! I can't believe its decade!! I am very emotional as I write this letter, not because I am sad but because I am so happy and proud that you have been an responsible and carrying son and a younger brother, we are so blessed and proud that you are our son and Ansh's Big responsible Brother! Wishing You Many Many Happy Returns of the Day!!
In many ways you thought us to be a nice parents, we learned many things as you grow! You learned so many things, crawl, walk, run, bike, hike, swim, fight (with your younger one (because you are left with no choice :), You know that very well... "Ansh's is not like Aarav", he is naughty and I am sure you wont disagree :) )!!
You have been a fast learner always for anything! Curious to learn things, your strength is to make friends, you love being social and connected with people and friends around! I am so very proud of these qualities you developed and also inspiring friends around too! We have been receiving many complements about you on these qualities! Keep shining ! I grown up in India where there is saying in Sanskrit phrase from ancient scriptures "वसुधैव कुटुंबकम" (Vasudhaiva Kutimbakam)! Meaning "The world is one family" You have been developing this philosophy within you makes us very proud and happy! Keep smiling, keep feeling and keep shining !
You have been a great kid at school, your pre-school have been a great experience for you at Montessori learning center , you then started your public schooling at Morning Creek Elementary School at San Diego. Your Kinder, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade you have been excellent kid, great process in all fronts, you are in 4th now! You have been an awesome student, friend, kid and brother.

With your all curiosity at the age of 5 you came to me and asked me to record a video of your science experiment and put it on YouTube, you wanted to start a YouTube Channel and we did (https://www.youtube.com/@MrGijutsu). You have been always a quick learner and business minded kid (keep discussing business talks in spare time with me, also inspires me to do something. With this mindset you came up with an idea of doing Lemonade Stand in Summer outside Home and Hot Coco Stand in Winter. In very first try of Lemonade Stand you showed us that you can do profit ! (calculating all the investment, lemon, ice, sugar, disposable cups, labor cost and what not, you had your little xl spread sheet with all your calculation where you showed us how accurate one can be to calculate the profit! Interesting part is in this experiment was, you have been to all houses around within community, advertised your lemonade stand, took printouts and stick it on the notice boards, prepared a small invitation cheet and hand distributed to door to door! Incredible marketing strategy ! And all of this without our guidance ! We are so proud! Keep it up, let your ideas keep coming and show world what you can do! Great job!!
In 2020, you were very very happy when you came to know we are expecting younger one! 18th of May, 2021, Ansh came to our life! A little cute boy in our lap! You became a big brother! And our family became "LisAnk-AaravAnsh 💕" A happy fun filled and socially active family!
Life is always a roller coaster ride, you have fun time, great time, mixed time and down time! Its always up and down but family together can make it both part an exciting (up time to enjoy and down to fight to reach up again and enjoy!) We did it! Mom met with an major car accident on 18th Sep, 2021. You were in school, Ansh was just 4 month old sleeping in crib at home, I was taking care of him and received a call, that mom is admitted to hospital with serious car accident! I had no idea what to do! I was completely shocked! Good Friends are a great strength in your good and bad times and we truly blessed with great friends around us! It was a covid time, they came and became our family immediately to help us, they took care of you and 4month old Ansh both. I had to be with Lisa at Hospital for almost 2 weeks! Lisa had 7 fractures in her body and completely bedrest for almost 2 months! You showed us the strength and took care of so many things on your own like an adult do with more responsibility and took care of Ansh very well in our absence! It was our down time, but we fight it together, came back to life in couple months, even stronger ! Yes, it was difficult but nothing feels difficult when you are strong together... and We are!! Please remember family and friends are your strength, always! Manage, help and handle them respectfully!!
With Ansh, our time started flying even faster! Sweet Fights, laugh, talks, travel, fun and so many exciting things in our daily life, Ansh is very naughty, and no explanation required as you had to fight with him almost every day! But you know what, you are a shining, responsible and loving kid! When we scream on Ansh (of course because he tries to hit you with no reason in cute fights) you were always protecting him and letting him do things! Keep up your Big brother love and keep showering it on him always! I am sure Ansh will do the same in return!
I could probably keep writing forever, but let me stop here with funny photo we captured during covid time ! :)
Happy 10th, Aarav! Have lots of fun! Best wishes!!
With Love,
