Pushpa, Your story is captivating and compelling and, yet, just the beginning. The design of your blog enables the reader to follow your story with simplicity, hence, fully comprehendible. How amazingly ambitious to desire producing a film! Would this film segue a book? Your life’s history, thus far, is heart endearing and exudes a strong will of courage and bravery to seek the truth…as in the cliche, “The truth shall set you free”. The photos complement the written words engaging the reader into the depth of your story. You and your family are a daily part of my life, now, and a testament to the power of love. Thank you, Pushpa.

Your writing made me think, Pushpa. You sound like a very intelligent, thoughtful person. I’m so glad Cora made it possible for me to read your blog.

Pushpa-thanks for your honesty in this blog. I look forward to reading more about who you are and your story. I would love to link our blogs together as well. I like what you have to say and you have a really unique perspective. Hope we get to meet someday at a DAU gathering. I’m bummed I’ll be missing this coming one. Check out my blog and let me know your thoughts.
