Happy retirement, Dad and mom........


Wow.... today is that day..our parents are finally bidding adieu to a place that has been home to them for so many years...

Doha (Qatar) has been where dad spent the past 40 years, and my mom has shared nearly 35 years there, herself. My siblings and I have spent a few years of our childhood and all our vacation time there too...

I used to wish for my parents to live in India , when my brother and I had to stay away from them for my schooling...but it wasn't meant to be.

Both of them took on a lot of responsibilities at an early age, and have taken care of each and every one of those with panache. I hope they have a very long and trouble-free retirement and enjoy time without any more burdens....

Amma and Acha, may your life forward be everything you hoped for...
