As human beings, we achieve many things in life as we grow up/as we move ahead in our careers.

The biggest achievement of my life I thought (until a few years back) was having a successful career. I was wrong. While a career is good, I was lacking something in life — That was writing. Publishing/being an author was not even close to that. I just wanted to write.

Today, I feel I’m successful because I’m writing. If I’m writing now (anything modest that is), that’s because I have a little skillset/knowledge, and that’s because of education. That education is because my parents took care of it when I was a child.

So, every letter/word/sentence that I write, is filled with Gratitude to my Parents. I’m indebted to them for life.
