Dear Yogeshkaka,
You are a wealth of knowledge in every way imaginable: in technical knowledge, practical knowledge and in the personal knowledge that you possess.
You are the closest to Dada in that you kept relations with all of our extended family members and community members over
the years. You have helped many people over the years. You have accomplished a lot in your career/professional life. You are an entrepreneur, a technocrat and possess
the business acumen of a “Vaniya”. This combination has enabled you to reach great heights in your career and business. You have been a teacher and a learner all your life.
Initially, you taught
at Sasmira, went on to becoming a Vice Principal, the Principal, and a Board Director at the college. Over the years, you taught your children, your grand kids and you continue to tutor/teach the youngest batch of grand kids. You have an inquisitive curiosity that leads you to want to learn and be in the know of current events. This is in no way an encapsulation of your 80 years of life but is only a beginning. Basically,
YKK & Induben with Pravinaben (top left) at Niki & Miten’s wedding
you have much to be proud of and lots to celebrate for your 80th Birthday.
On a personal note, I am thankful and grateful of the role you’ve played in my
life. Initially, in the absence of my dad, you took on the responsibility of planning and arranging all of the details of my wedding in India. Since the span of my married life,
you, Indukaki and the kids have included me in all family events as your own. I will be ever grateful.
Wishing you a blessed, happy and a healthy Birthday. I wish for you to create and savour more happy memories for years to come.
Happy 80th Birthday!
Niki Kusumgar Salot
