Heera with Baba Amte in August 2005 at Anandwan via Warora, Dist. Chandrapur, near Nagpur, Maharashtra, India
Baba clearly remembered Heera's father Dada Koranne and inquired about his younger brother who was also involved in self less service. Baba held my hand and gave me blessings. Dada Koranne and Baba Amte became friends when they were both involved with Gandhi Ji in their youth. Baba had asked my father in 1970 to come and manage the school for the handicapped children. But it was not to be. Since I was young, my parents could not leave me in Delhi with my brother and go away to Anandwan. I wish they had availed of the opportunity but could not because of their responsibilities.
Life would have been so different. At least now I am trying to connect to my past somehow.
