My loving faithful daughter while in elementary school…
Dear Sakshi,
Today at the gym I ran into an old friend after a long time who asked me “How is Sakshi?”.
For a moment I thought of answering “truthfully”, “I have not seen her in almost 2 years. She says she has no relationship with me. So I have no idea”.
Instead I chose to respond “She is doing great. She is in NYU and she is already the Editor-in-Chief of her college newspaper. I am very proud of her”.
Lesson to you as a soon-to-be journalist – so-called “truth” can be used as a weapon by selectively revealing some information but not disclosing other relevant information.
Hope you will keep that in mind while talking or writing about me and our “relationship” (or lack thereof, according to you).
Best wishes.
