The Raju kite mind is a dazzling sight to behold. Wishing for open skies, sunlit days and poetic breeze for you to soar high, cruise comfy or rest on your back as long as you want to 💖

There’s so much love in how metaphors discover their value in our lives! Raju you are the masterful creator of the best of those and more 💚

Raju, almost everytime I hear you read your writing or read it myself, I’m taken by the ease and unexpectedness of the imagery in it. I loved “joy so cheap. Only 3 rupees for a rhombus…” and the thought of people not leaving their terraces even at night, such colourful, communal delight :). I’m gonna look at kites snd remember you now.

When I started with the therapy, i told my therapist that I am like "kaattathu azhichu vitta pattom" in Malayalam which means the kite that was let go of in the wind. I am so amazed that how our divergences coincides even in metaphors. It took me a while to muster up the energy to read your piece, but as always, I am grateful for your writing and having found you. Thank you, Raju ❤️

Raju you have given kites such colour full dimensions, may your kite mind forever soar gliding through the hills of your thoughts and may your imagination take us to places far and beyond!

The metaphors, the colours, the drawings....Sigh! I love your ADHD kite mind, Raju Tai! What fun to fly in the sky with you. Also, the fear of flying too high is real and very very resonant! I felt just that this morning only to find this piece from you :) Thank you for sharing your joy and fear of flying! It helps scaredy cats like me lol

Raju Raju Raju! What have you done! I had to do a double take and read this piece multiple times to soak in and savour its richness. We will not talk about the gush of emotions at identifying so much of ourselves in the description of your mind and feeling so seen. Big kiss and tight hugs and many joyful distractions.
