We come to this world, with absolutely nothing, no knowledge or realization of who we are. Everything seems new, fresh, unknown, and unfamiliar. When we open our eyes for the first time, we see a completely new, untold, undisclosed, and mysterious world with so many questions popping up in our tiny little heads. The sight of our smiling parents gives us the very first sense of existence. It is bewildering to imagine the world from the eyes of a newborn. Gradually we learn numerous new things, from talking to walking, all of which were unknown skills at the beginning. We triumph over all the challenges phenomenally and make our path from our mom’s lap to this indubitable prodigious world.  This happens to all of us, every living being on this planet. This is very natural, correct! We are born curious. We are born to explore new things and the world around us.

Though, as we grow old, we tend to burden ourselves with routines and responsibilities; and forget about this basic curious nature of ourselves. We keep ourselves concealed in a comfort box. It might take a lot of courage and determination to come out of that box to try out new things. But, once we make up our minds to achieve something new, we become unstoppable. As Gandhi said, “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” – Mahatma Gandhi

When I observe kids around me, I realize that kids are indeed a great inspiration to all of us. They don’t have the fear of the unknown that we grownups start to carry sometimes. They motivate us to learn new skills, try out unknown things and embrace new challenges. They teach us to stop thinking about failures before starting any new endeavor. They encourage us to come out of our fears and comforts. They show us how to determine ourselves to keep digging and keep tasting the zest of an unknown world. They influence us to be perseverant and fight all the obstacles which come along the way. It could be scary, but if we believe in what we are doing is right, the feeling of accomplishment is delightful.

In my book “Unravelling unknowns: A year of Henna’s new beginnings” Henna, an 8-year-old girl is an explorer, adventurous, nature-lover, kind, enthusiastic, challenge-taking, and precocious girl. In just one year of her life, she had plenty of remarkable experiences. Experiences, that she never had before. She explored the wondrous, prolific, majestic glory of nature. She assimilated significant new skills and triumphed over all the hurdles.

Through this book, I would like my readers to visualize and unravel the hidden ‘Henna’ in them. Somewhere, in all of us, there is a little Henna, who wants to fly high in the open wide sky and accomplish something new, something which gives a sense of the existence of oneself. It just needs a little courageous step to unravel the unknowns!
