I’m overwhelmed by the flood of birthday wishes today. Forgive me for not replying individually, but please know how deeply grateful I am.
X can be a vast, impersonal, even divisive, platform. Yet on days like this, it feels like an extended family, radiating warmth. Thank you for being there. 🙏🏽
I’ve always felt fortunate that my birthday coincides with a public holiday: Maharashtra Day at home in Mumbai, and globally as International Workers’ Day.
This year, there’s another reason to celebrate: the inauguration today of the ‘Missing Link,’ a remarkable network of bridges and tunnels that finally makes the Mumbai–Pune journey seamless.
As I turn 71, it feels fitting to reflect on the ‘missing links’ in our own lives…the people and bonds that have been our unseen support, our emotional bridges through difficult times. And the importance of rebuilding those links, and expressing our gratitude.
Today, my wish for each of you, is that you can reconnect your own missing links, those bridges that quietly held you up when you needed them most.
