3 8 th E d i t i o n
The 1st of May, as always, marked the cliched yet symbolic beginning of the month in its new
avatar—unique and distinct from the years gone by. It is globally recognized as International
Labour Day, a day of rest and recognition for workers across the world. However, in essential
service sectors such as healthcare, airports, and railways, work continues, albeit with a
different plan of operation. Though the start of May may feel like déjà vu, it still resonates
deeply in our consciousness.

Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day was solemnly observed this year, with
heartfelt tributes offered by those who believe that
mothers continue to guide their children even after
they’ve grown into adulthood. One cannot turn back the
clock or undo the past, but the essence of motherhood
remains eternal. As the saying goes, "Age is just a
number"—mothers never cease to play a vital role in the
lives of their children.

World Nurses Day 12th MAY


This significant day in the annals of medicine is
celebrated in memory of Florence Nightingale,
whose birth anniversary it also marks. She was a
true pioneer and an inspiration to nurses across
the globe. At Cadabam’s, this occasion was
celebrated with pride at the Nursing Medical
Complex (NMC), which was specially designed
and structured to honor both past and present
nurses working tirelessly in the field. The
celebration underscored the fact that nursing is
one of the noblest professions—imbued with
warmth, love, and dedication. At Cadabam’s, this
commitment is always evident and goes on
record as being central to the healing journey of
every patient. Nursing, in every part of the world,
continues to be a profession of compassion and
excellence, as reflected in the work of our team.
Early Monsoons
Towards the latter half of May 2025, the monsoons arrived earlier than expected. At
Cadabam’s, the rains were welcomed with enthusiasm and energy. The environment was
enlivened by puddles, damp footsteps, and showers that failed to dampen spirits. At
Cadabam’s, the show must go on—rain or shine. Our unwavering commitment and collective
strength ensured that our work continued uninterrupted, regardless of the weather. The rains
brought relief and joy, particularly among those who thrive in nature’s downpour.

While June is traditionally known as the true start of the monsoon season, May gave us a
vibrant preview. It also reminded everyone of mango season, with the fruit often considered
the showstopper of the month. As always, nature delivered a bountiful and beautiful transition.

Journey of Love
In the hush of time, where dreams begin, We traced our path through thick and thin.

A wake-up call, a fresh new start, Two souls entwined, one beating heart.

The night was tinted gulabi rose, A film of sweetness, love that glows.

In whispered tones, he said, “We can,” And thus began our lifelong plan.

The water danced beneath moon's grace, Warm was the wind, soft was your face.

I reached out close, through dusk and light, Our souls took flight, our hearts
took height.

He closed the curtain, dreams drew near, The bed held truths we both held dear.

A gentle kiss, a hushed duet, A kind of love I won’t forget.

From farms to dorms, from sky to street, In every place, our spirits meet.

Omelet on toast, your laughter sweet, Even silence felt complete.

You said, “The kids inside are wise,” “They write their thoughts across the skies.”

I held your hand, a guiding line, Through every storm, we’d intertwine.

There were guitars and paper planes, Aurora dreams and windowpanes.

Certificates we never framed— But love, oh love, could not be tamed.

Gratitude bloomed in every glance, A sacred bond, a fearless dance.

Our love, a book with pages turned, Each chapter bold, each lesson learned.

Let’s celebrate this love, my dear, With every smile and every tear.

All of us, all shades, all light— From dawn to dusk, from wrong to right.We are
the thread, the verse, the fire, A timeless song, a deep desire.

Three, then five—our journey wide, With open hearts, we now confide.

Together still, forevermore, On love’s vast sea, we boldly soar.

This is our truth, our timeless art— The journey of love, from soul to heart.
The Beauty of Brilliance and Belonging
A Reflection on Gifted
Sometimes, a movie doesn’t need grand effects or wild twists to leave a lasting
impact—it just needs heart. Gifted (2017),directed by Marc Webb, is one such film.
Quietly powerfuland emotionally rich, Gifted tells the story of a young girl,Mary Adler,
who possesses an extraordinary mathematicaltalent, and her uncle Frank, who is
doing his best to give her anormal, happy life.

At its core, Gifted is not just about intelligence—it’s about what it means to love, to
protect, and to choose the kind oflife we want for the people we care about. Chris
Evans, in adeeply sincere performance, plays Frank, the reluctantguardian of Mary
(played brilliantly by McKenna Grace). Theirbond is beautiful, messy, and very real.
Mary is witty, strong-willed, and far beyond her years—but she is still a child
whodeserves laughter, friendships, and the freedom to be herself.

The film also raises a subtle but important question: Should gifted children be shaped
for greatness at any cost, or shouldthey be allowed to live ordinary lives filled with
love andbelonging? It doesn’t offer easy answers, but it encouragesviewers to reflect
on the balance between brilliance andbeing.

Octavia Spencer adds warmth as Roberta, the kind neighbour and protector, while
Lindsay Duncan delivers a sharpperformance as Mary’s grandmother, who
represents thepressure of academic ambition. Together, the cast weaves atouching
narrative that stays with you long after the creditsroll.

With its soft cinematography, honest dialogue, and moving soundtrack, Gifted
reminds us that the brightest minds arestill tender hearts. It’s a film for anyone who
has ever made adifficult choice for the people they love—or wondered whatsuccess
really means.

In a world that often celebrates perfection and achievement, Gifted is a quiet tribute
to imperfection, empathy, and thesimple joys of everyday life. It tells us that
sometimes, givinga child the freedom to just be may be the greatest gift of all.
