Acknowledgments

This book could not have come into being without the quiet encouragement of those who believed in me, especially during the moments when I struggled to believe in myself.
My heartfelt gratitude goes to Roopana Gowda – MSW and Nanjamani – CDPO, whose encouragement and support have been a meaningful part of this journey.
And to every reader who chooses to open these pages, step into this story, and walk with me through its dreams, memories, love, and silence.
thank you.
Some stories are written by one person, but they are completed by everyone who believes in them.
With gratitude,
