Jania like this color of turban on me.
As I was passing through the entertainment room the other morning, I caught a heartwarming moment that stayed with me. My eldest granddaughter, Jania, was just heading up the stairs in the hallway. She saw me and cheerfully greeted me with a warm “Sat Sri Akal” and a bright “Good morning.” That simple gesture alone made my day. And then, as she walked past, she glanced at me and said, “Dadaji, you have a nice turban on you today and this color looks good on you.”
That one line felt like the biggest award I could have received.
You see, although I’m now retired, I’ve never let that change how I carry myself. Each morning, I still make it a point to wake up, wash up, and get fully dressed — turban and all. It’s not about vanity. It’s about values. I believe that even in retirement, one should maintain dignity and routine. It sets a tone, especially in a joint family. Our grandchildren watch us — they observe, absorb, and eventually mirror our habits.
Jania secures a safe place between her favorite grandparents.
So, when Jania admired my turban that morning, it wasn’t just a compliment on my appearance — it was confirmation that the message is getting through. That my silent way of teaching through example is beginning to resonate. And for that, I’m truly thankful.
