2021 was a unique year for the nations of the world. It had despair, and hope seemed but a glimmer. It was during this period I penned letters to my LinkedIn connections in India and Sweden. These are "My Letters on LinkedIn 2021".
The nation of India (2nd letter)
Our situation was dark and bleak. Our minds and visions were taken over by our continuous pain. Our communities were ravaged and there appeared no end in sight.
Many expected and secretly wished our pain continued.
Many want us beaten down and stripped of any pride as a nation.
Many do not care for our welfare but actively seek to profit from our pain.
But this is our announcement as a people and nation.
Our story will disappoint our "nay" Sayers.
Our recovery will make many "gulp" in wonder.
We are India and no storm can keep us down.
We refuse to give up hope and walk away from storms.
We lost loved ones, but we also revived our community spirit.
We are entering a new season as a nation.
We refuse to allow our pain and sacrifice go unrewarded.
We refuse to allow self-centred interest to tear us apart as a people.
We are INDIA.
We are a nation of LOVE.
We treasure the lives of our citizens and guests.
A new page is opening.
This new season will be nurtured by all.
I see India become a model of change and care to the nations.
I belief in you.
I belief in INDIA.
The nation of India (1st letter)
The news today about India looks bleak but I have HOPE.
The nation is in a fight, and I join forces by bringing the fresh weapon of HOPE to our hearts.
The Hope I speak of is not mere empty wishes but one that strengthens the human spirit.
This is the time to take up HOPE.
Let HOPE sweep the Nation of India.
This dark season will pass away.
This dark season will not succeed in imprinting death and despair into the consciousness of India.
It looks dark and the lights appear to be going out, but HOPE will breakthrough.
The nation of India will come out of this situation stronger.
The nation of India will not break under this burden.
The nation India will come out more vibrant and prosperous.
With confidence, I ,Matthew Izekor, will say this about India:
Fresh dreams are being born in India.
Remarkable prosperity is sweeping all segments of the nation of India.
JOY is wiping off the writings of this stormy season in the various communities in India.
HOPE has broken through in India.
India was bent backward but the nation did not break.
India lost precious citizens and the pain cannot be imagined.
Yet, ahead of this great nation; India; I see PEACE & JOY.
Now begin to see India:
Standing strong in the league of nations.
Contributing to the welfare of nations.
A prosperous nation full of new opportunities.
I am proud of the nation, INDIA.
HOPE prevails!!
Namaste!!
Happy Mother's day- mothers in India.
Many mothers in India would have received well wishes from family and friends.
I recognise you have had to face very turbulent situations recently.
The storm was ferocious, and you lost as a nation , very dear friends, and family members.
Now this storm cannot erase certain truths about your future destiny.
That is why I can celebrate you today as a lady.

This storm is too small to curtail your future increase and contributions to our world.
You will not only survive this storm, but you will also THRIVE even in the midst of it.
Happy Mother’s Day.
In the midst of the storm:
Undertake new ventures.
Expand your understanding.
Love yourself, your nation and despise this storm.
This storm cannot take you off your assigned destiny in life.
You are alive. I celebrate you.
