Suresh Mirchumal is a spiritual writer. “Well, you can categorize it like that,
although I don’t call myself one. These thoughts come in effortlessly.” His aim
is in a way to reach out to whoever gets inspired or has an eye opening event
within them that may transcend their current state of consciousness. “Or let’s
say current emotional state too. If one in a thousand benefits, that is already
great.” Due to the current world state, lots of struggles and stresses, we seem
to lose touch with that inner peace that we long for, Suresh explains. “I wish
to ease that through these small articles or tidbits.” You will find his tidbits in
Aruba Today from now on, mostly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But today we
start the week with introducing Suresh his work.q
