Mother’s Day is a global celebration dedicated to mothers and motherly figures. In India, the day is observed on the second Sunday of May every year. On the occasion today, several prominent figures including PM Modi, Anand Mahindra, Sachin Tendulkar remembered their mothers and dedicated inspirational posts.
Business tycoon Anand Mahindra shared an unseen picture from 1997 featuring his mother and himself. Sharing the photo, Mahindra wrote, “Back in 1977. Just before I left for college. My mother wasn’t looking into the camera; As usual she was gazing into the distance…trying to envision her childrens’ future, hoping that a good education would be their passport to success—and happiness. Happy #MothersDay Ma. We’ll keep trying to live up to your dreams for us.”
