Her Awards Inspired Me. Her Values Defined Me. On this Mother’s Day, I want to express my gratitude and respect for the woman who has had the single biggest influence on my life, my mother. She served as the Head of the Education Department of Mumbai City and was honoured with the President’s Award at the national level, the Governor’s Award at the state level, and the Mayor’s Award at the Mumbai city level for her distinguished and extraordinary contribution to the field of education. What made these achievements even more special was that every recognition came purely through merit, integrity, and years of relentless hard work... without recommendations, influence, or shortcuts. I still remember accompanying her to each of these award ceremonies. As a son, watching her receive those honours filled me with immense pride and inspiration. But beyond the awards and designations, what truly defined her was the way she balanced her professional responsibilities and family life with equal commitment, grace, and discipline. Despite handling one of the most responsible positions in Mumbai’s education system... attending meetings with senior government authorities, municipal commissioners, committees, politicians, and dignitaries, she was always present for every important milestone in mine and my brother’s school and college lives. No matter what pressures came her way, she never compromised on her values, principles, or ethics during her distinguished 38-year career. And perhaps the greatest testament to her legacy is this: Even today, more than 20 years after retirement, the respect she continues to receive from former colleagues, juniors, staff members, and people whose lives she touched is truly remarkable. That kind of respect cannot be demanded by position, it can only be earned through character. One incident from the early years of my career has stayed with me forever. In 2002, during one of my first corporate roles with a reputed developer, I was selected internally to work directly with the owner of the organization after a senior architect had left the company. Ironically, this news was communicated to me the very next day after I had returned from Delhi, where I had accompanied my mother for her President’s Award ceremony. That evening, when I shared the news with my parents, my mother told me something that became the foundation of my professional life. She said: “Now that you will work closely with the Director, many kinds of people will come to meet you for different reasons related to work. Always stay true to your ethics and principles at your workplace. Let your hard work and efforts speak for you. There are no shortcuts to success.” After 27 years in the real estate industry, I can proudly say that I have tried my best to remain true to those words every single day. Happy Mother’s Day, Mummy. Thank you for the values, the strength, the example, and the guidance that continue to shape my life even today.
