This photograph was taken around 2000, in my parents retirement home in Pune

Mother with our dear family friend Gurdip Singh, on his farm in Kulwedhi, near Kunjpura around 1973

These happy photos of my parents were taken in the Doon School, around 1972

God made a wonderful mother / A mother who never grows old;

He made her smile of the sunshine / And He moulded her heart of pure gold;

In her eyes He placed bright shining stars / In her cheeks the fair roses you see;

God made a wonderful mother / And He gave that dear mother to me.

Rest in peace, Ma, I’ll always remember your love and kindness and forbearance
