My parents and my grandparents sat in my aircraft — and my heart was so full. It instantly took me back to when I was little… the excitement of going to Nanu-Nani’s house during summer vacations, the joy of market day, waiting for my favourite kaju katli and gol gappe that they would always bring just for me. The way they cared for me, did every little thing to keep me happy — those memories are my safe place even today. And now, life came full circle… the same people who once held my hand through everything, were sitting in my aircraft, watching me live my dream. From being their little one to now flying them — this is the most emotional and proud moment of my life.”
