5AM Wordle life lessons (that no one asked for):
- I start with the same word every day. There is value in starting each day with a small routine. It gives you a sense of predictability and prepares you for unpredictability of the day ahead. - The errors teach you just as much as the successes (sometimes more). The road to success is paved with failure.
- Sometimes the timing is just not right. You are distracted or not in the right head space. Walk away and come back. There will always be more opportunities.

I feel honoured and privileged to have had the opportunity to write three books for Modi Toys, all set to release this summer! Today, the cover for the first book was shared: Saraswati and the Stolen Somras ❤️ All. The. Feels.
Gorgeous illustrations by @dee_for_drawing Those of you who have been following my writing journey for some time know that it all started with my desire to share my cultural roots with my then newborn (now 9 year-old!) son in a way that was developmentally appropriate (Hindu theology is pretty PG-13).

Growing up, my parents, like many immigrant parents, were busy working long hours just to keep a roof over our heads and put warm, homecooked meals on the table. My mother always reminded me that my teachers were not just there to teach me Math or English, 🧵(1/) but to guide me in ways that my parents could not. Lucky for me, my teachers rose to the occasion. It was my teachers who inspired a love of learning in my elementary years and helped me navigate course selections and my path to postsecondary education in my secondary years. (2/)
