My father (who was also a freedom fighter) used to narrate about Mahatma Gandhi to me at a young age - his vivid narrations and explanations brought Gandhi Ji to my mind; that is how I met Gandhi Ji.
It is an interesting fact that my parents used to communicate in Hindi between them, who were also Sanskrit scholars. My father’s fluent Hindi became very useful when he met Bapuji (another affectionate name of Mahatma Gandhi) in a public meeting in Travancore (should be in 1937), my father greeted and spoke to him in Hindi - this made their relationship very close.
My father used to narrate different scenes and stories to me which influenced me a lot. Being kind, honest, helpful and polite are some of these qualities, which I still practice.
And, after the grand meet-up in Ahmedabad (July 10 2022), the very next day, our loving Naresh Ji & Tejal took us (me & my wife) to Sabarmati Ashram. While walking in the Ashram, I could feel & enjoy the different stories my father shared. (thanks a ton, dear Naresh Ji and Tejal for your wonderful companionship).
Even today, remembering the Father of our Nation brings those scenes of my father introducing me to Mahatma Gandhi. I felt very happy to capture the photo where I am sitting very next to him.
