A New York-based entrepreneur shared his mother's journey when he moved to a completely different continent in the 1980s. He said his mother had traveled from Bengaluru to start a new life for her in the United States. Sahil Bloom called her an “absolute legend” and said she secretly applied to a university in the US and got a scholarship.
'Arrived in 1980 with no money to her name. Within two years she obtained her bachelor's degree and after another two years her master's degree,” he wrote on the platform.
Mr Bloom said she met and fell in love with an American man and they have now been married for more than 40 years. “They are happily married 42 years later and it never goes long without a kiss and an 'I love you' whispered between them.”
