Anil quotes a line from Alain de Botton’s novel On Love to capture the moment (hat tip, AK, to daughter Sonam, who is famously well read??): ‘Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.’
