When your college recognizes you after almost 21 years of leaving its campus—it’s not just special. It’s surreal. It feels amazing to be seen, acknowledged, and celebrated by the place that gave your dreams their first playground. Thanks, Alliance Alumni Association Alliance University, for this wonderful initiative. Thanks to God, my parents, and especially Mayank—for constantly pushing me to follow my dreams. And while I celebrate, my heart tugs a little… Papa, who left us in 2010, never saw the small achievements I’ve gathered along the way. But I know he’s watching, blessing, and guiding—always. And Papa (father-in-law)—my silent cheerleader. The one who read every post, article, even the book I wrote. The one who never said much but knew everything I was building. If he were here today, he would have read every single word of this feature and discussed it over dinner like it mattered to the world. I miss them both so deeply. One who gave me values and the fire to chase dreams. And the other who stood like a quiet pillar, proud, present, and always cheering. I know both my Papas are blessing me from above. But the space they filled on earth? No one else ever could. Both Mummy log, thank you—for every prayer, for every quiet blessing for me. And to Ira and Viraj—thank you for understanding when work calls, for letting me chase my dreams while still keeping me grounded in hugs and chaos. This moment belongs to all of you. 💜 #AllianceAlumni #FoundersCollective #PapaForever #Gratitude #FamilyFirst #DreamsAndBlessings #TwoPapasOneHeart #MothersLove #KidsWhoUnderstand #21YearsLater #ThankfulHeart #15daysReelschallenge #PauseForYourself
