My Name is Cinnamon reminds us that our uniqueness is what makes us special. Cinnamon’s journey of self-discovery shows that embracing who we are—quirks, differences, and all—can be empowering. Through his experiences, we see how family plays a huge role in shaping our confidence, offering unconditional love and support when we need it most. The story also encourages us to take pride in our roots and personal journey, reminding us that every name, every story, and every individual holds meaning. At its heart, the book is about finding joy in being exactly who we are.

Life is full of moments that make us question who we are, and My Name is Cinnamon beautifully captures that feeling. Cinnamon’s story reminds us that it's okay to feel different or unsure sometimes, but what truly matters is how we embrace ourselves. With the love and support of those around us, we can turn our doubts into strengths. Instead of shying away from what makes him unique, Cinnamon learns to own it—and in doing so, he finds confidence and joy in simply being himself. It’s a heartfelt reminder that we all have a place in the world, just as we are.

There are many dimensions to every person - Kiran Vehniwal

'There are many dimensions to every person'.

The statement in itself holds different meanings and perspectives. To some, it may be in physical dimensions and to some in the context of psychological aspects. 

Every individual has their own experiences. Some come from his inner self, and some from the outer world. Sometimes it matters the most to one person, but it may not to another. That does not make one right and the other wrong. It's just their insight to see things. 

The mind plays the most role in demonstrating different dimensions of a person. It has its logic and reasons to interpret a situation. Some see life as full of choices and risks to take and live it to the fullest. 

For some, life is just an assigned challenge they take and pass on to make it to the other end. They fail to enjoy and cherish little moments in their journey when they get too busy making a life than living life.

And sometimes, the outer world changes the inner self. That's where the two dimensions collide, and the individual moves to a different personality dimension. 

The question that arises is how to understand an individual's needs to make them comfortable with him when a person has different extents and at some point fails to interpret what he wants.
