Cloud native with Saiyam - memories flashback
Content-wise, this month is going great, and the cloud native community has produced unique learning content as usual. Every time I write the newsletter edition, I find even more content that I think would be useful for the wider community.
Apart from content, September brings back many memories of my brother, who passed away in 2020 due to Covid, whose birthday was on 9th September. I wish he was here and we would have celebrated it together, but you never know what is next for you. We did the rituals and distributed food to people who could not afford it. We also sat and remembered all the happy times spent with him, and that did bring us tears as we all loved him so much, and he was such a happy person to be around.
I always remember him and all the happy memories so that he feels happy wherever he has gone. I live each day to the fullest as life is a gift that we all are living. I make sure to give back to the community and society whenever possible. The only message we all can take is that people will come and go(going can be unpredictable sometimes). We should spread love, happiness and peace, not hate and war. The Ukraine war is still on, and I pray it ends soon and people can live freely and happily _/\_
