Mummy's 90th birthday





My mother, Dr. Hem Bhatnagar, completed 90 years on October 28, 2019.  We asked her family and friends if they wished to say something in tribute or regarding their association with her. Madhulika  and I have collated them as a book, which was presented to mummy on her birthday. It was meant to be a book of wishes, but it ended up presenting a very multidimensional view of her as a person. It is also inspirational, in parts, and has some interesting historical photographs too.
