My Mom Sardarni Savitri Devi and Dari’s Mom Sardarni Pritam Kaur with 3 months Shiv in her lap
Today is Mother’s Day, and as I was going through my collection of old photographs, I found myself searching for something very special — a picture of my mother Sardarni Savitri Devi and Dari’s mother Sardarni Pritam Kaur. The memory tied to that photo is one I hold close to my heart. It was taken on June 5th, 1975 — a truly historic moment for our family.

We had just completed an incredible journey after completing my assignment at Trishuli Hyder Project, Nepal: we flew through a Domestic Airlines from Kathmandu to Jitpur Simara a small airport about 15 Km from Raxoul, then took a bus to Muzaffarpur, followed by another to Samastipur, and finally caught a train to New Delhi. When we arrived at New Delhi Paharganj Station, there they were — both our families, united in that moment, full of joy and reunion. That one photo taken at the station captured not only the moment but also the deep bond between our two mothers — two incredible women whose love, strength, and wisdom continue to shape our lives.

On this Mother’s Day, I want to honor both of them — my mother and Dari’s Mom — for the immense love they gave us, the sacrifices they made, and the blessings they continue to shower on our family from above. Their spirits live on in us, and I carry their love with me every day. Happy Mother’s Day to both of them — with all my heart and everlasting gratitude.
