Here is a memorable
portrait of my parents. My Father HH Shri Bhola Nathji (1902-1992) and my
mother Smt. Savitri Devi ( 1916-1967).
This portrait was
taken in the Himalayas of Mussoorie in 1953 by the famous Doon Studios, and
adorned its showcase window for many years. It almost became one of the
beautiful sights of the city, and passers by and tourists carried its love and
peace within their hearts.
What wonderful things
photographs are, and how we take them for granted!
They bring back that
moment of time, that year, that day, that hour, that minute, that second of
time in which our loved ones were sitting before the camera.
In fact portraits
take you back in time into the past as no human memory could do. And they bring
back to you the feelings of love which emanated from those personalities at
that time, and which become eternal.
Ultimately, I
purchased the portrait from Doon Studios and brought it home, in the home where
my parents had lived.
