“Just last week, my nephew shared a few videos of Mother from Gandhinagar. A few youngsters from the society had come home, my father’s photograph was kept on a chair, there was a kirtan, and Mother was immersed in singing bhajans while playing the manjeera. She is still the same – age may have taken a toll physically, but she is as mentally alert as ever,” PM Modi wrote in his blog post.
“I have no doubt that everything good in my life, and all that is good in my character, can be attributed to my parents. Today, as I sit in Delhi, I am filled with memories from the past,” PM Modi wrote.
“Mother used to wash utensils at a few houses to help meet the household expenses. She would also take out time to spin the charkha to supplement our meagre income. She would do everything from peeling cotton to spinning yarn. Even in this back-breaking work, her prime concern was ensuring that the cotton thorns don’t prick us,” PM Modi recounted in his post.
PM Modi is on two-day visit to Gujarat. He arrived in Ahmedabad last night.
On the occasion of PM Modi’s mother’s birthday, religious programmes will be organised in PM Modi’s hometown Vadnagar praying for her long life and health, her family said. An 80-metre road in the Raysan area has been named as Pujya Hiraba Marg.
