Lessons from 'Abhiyum Naanum'

a. Freedom – Give others the freedom they seek. They ‘know what they’re doing.’ While we might have a strong point against theirs – remember, it’s ‘our point.’ A tree doesn’t grow the way we want it to grow though we nurture it.
b. Trust – Life is a network of networks. And, trust is an integral part in ensuring that the network sustains. Everyone has a reason doing what they are doing. Trust their instincts.
c. Respect – It’s not important to visit a place of worship. Nothing counts more than the ‘respect’ we bestow on others irrespective of their age, profession and social status.
d. Contribute – Happiness is a result of providing something without expecting anything in return. When one is driven by ‘giving,’ it doesn’t really matter if someone else is trying to take advantage of the magnanimity.
e. Surprise – Be ready for surprises everyday. One could take this as continuous learning.
