NOA Salutes: The Snow Queen of Ghatkopar

leave a comment »

Meet Navalba, resident of Ghatkopar, a suburb of Mumbai.
She and her extended family are just back from a holiday in various parts of Himachal Pradesh, where she enjoyed the snow in Solan.
Perennially smiling and with a positive outlook to life, she is always game for adventure.
She stays on the fourth floor in Ghatkopar with her son and every day, steps down to feed a cow and some pigeons. Saturdays are reserved for kirtans at the local temple with her son.
People are astonished to learn she often travels alone by train to Ahmedabad in Gujarat where her other son stays.
And did I say she is only 97 years young?
