ATTITUDE Life is a journey, and journey is life. I never realized how profoundly this simple quote could alter one's perspective on existence. Life offers us many gifts, but it can also take things away. My friend Kanak has learned this lesson, and it has resonated deeply with me as well. Kanak often quoted, albeit partially, "Life is a journey." To understand this, we need to delve a bit into the past. Kanak's father was born into a traditional family in a village in Uttarakhand. When he was in the fifth grade, his father discovered that he had started using tobacco. In a fit of anger, his father slapped him, which led to a heated confrontation that ultimately caused him to leave home. With only five paise to his pocket, he boarded the first bus he could find and, after three days of relentless travel, arrived in Mumbai. His father was quite small and new to the city, initially taking on any job he could find. After enduring a long period of struggle, he successfully...
