Question

Then the Second World War was over and India’s freedom was imminent. “Indians

will build their own India,” declared Gandhiji. The whole country was filled with an

unprecedented optimism. I asked my father for permission to leave Rameswaram and

study at the district headquarters in Ramanathapuram.

He told me as if thinking aloud, “Abul! I know you have to go away to grow. Does the

seagull not fly across the sun, alone and without a nest?” He quoted Khalil Gibran to

my hesitant mother, “Your children are not your children. They are the sons and

daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. You may

give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.”
