Lanterns Lit Along the Path

Life is not remembered in years or decades but in moments that cling to us like the fragrance of jasmine on a summer night. Some moments fade into silence, while others echo across the corridors of time, returning again and again to remind us of who we were, where we came from, and whom we loved. This memoir is not just a collection of events-it is a journey of love and longing, of dreams and departures, of home and family. It begins in a quiet Kerala village lit by lanterns, flows through classrooms, hostel corridors, and Bangalore streets, and unfolds into a life of togetherness built on faith and affection. And woven through it all are whispers-of childhood innocence, of first love unspoken, of marriage nurtured through seasons, and of reflections in the twilight years. These whispers across time are what I now gather, to share with you, the reader.
