Kannan is on a poignant journey back in time through the narrow lanes of life he has walked through seven decades. The journey, though not sequential traverses through the necessary stops which had its soft corners and milestones. As he journeys through time and memories, Kannan revisits moments from his childhood to his grandson's birth as he reflects on the instances when either love or fate embraced him, sending him in a new direction. In recollections that include precious time spent with his beloved son, sister, and many others, Kannan's heart blooms with happiness as his life comes full circle and he realizes the power behind a simple hug. All You Need is a Hug is a collection of excerpts from one man's experiences as he travels back into his past and invites his memories to wash over him and reveal the true meaning of love and life.
