Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
John Dewey

You came into this world as a tiny little bundle of joy, filling our hearts and being to the brim. The three months you spent with us were filled with happiness, dreams and, at times, worries. When you left, we realized you gave us a lifetime of intense memories as indelible as your bright, black eyes. Srutakeerti, in your short life, you were already worthy of your name: one whose good deeds are heard wide and far.
