Dear Cecilia,

First of all a very impressive website and I must compliment you for that. I saw the pictures of our pharmacist meeting... very good. I am really happy and proud of what you are doing. I have learnt so much from you and the experience that I have had in the last 2 years have been incredible.

I am not sure if this is a testimony because it sounds very professional. Let me share with you my feelings.

Cecilia, you are the only person to whom I have shared aspects of my life that only I knew. With all honesty, when I see myself today from a third person eye (which you call Prashant), I think it has seen me evolve a person.

As I see my life and its ups and downs, I must say that you gave me a feeling to appreciate the 'downs' as much as I used to get a high on seeing my 'ups'. I was reading somewhere that people who have the ability to face crisis and bounce back from that are the people who will eventually succeed. I must say that you helped me connect with the people and culture of Brazil. I don't know if I am a very changed person, but I have come to realize that the problem is not in the people but in us, because we see the world through our beliefs and judge people based on that aspect.

Now I must say that you were greatly instrumental in influencing my thoughts. Going for details in why something was said or done has helped me to understand people better. Thought I believe that I have long way to go ahead, I think I am better equipped to channelize my thoughts and energy.

The experience is the key and sharing and reflecting these experiences with you made the difference for me. You helped me visit these experiences and look at it from another perspective. Sometimes I used to find it difficult to answer you "why". “Why so many why's”, I used to think. I have always respected you for your extra-ordinary ability to think differently. Earlier you used to sound a little crazy, but as I started knowing you better, I realized that you are a person with great intelligence and it takes some time for normal person like me to understand it.

I know that I want to write this book with you. It’s a thinking which we will be able to leave behind in this world even when both of us will pass away. If it inspires even 1 person to make a difference in his life or business, I think we have achieved a lot in life. As I always believe, there is only one life we have or only one life we will remember, let us enjoy every bit of it and if we can leave behind our footprints in a small way then the generations to come will benefit from it.

Take care

Chetan Bangera
