memory of doddappa's visit to india
My sweet memories with my Doddappa(Dr Mahadev Kumbar).First time when he visited India in 1973 along with doddamma and uday anna .i met him in Amirtsar when i was hardly 21/2 yrs old.i do not remember those day but i have some pictures of him with my Dad that was taken in front of Tajmahal(Agra) and other in Agra fort.in which my mom ,dad dodamma uday anna and my grandmother are there.
Second time he visited India in 1980 along with uday anna and sujata.I remember that day we came all the way from suratgarh to meet them in Bombay(Mumbai).Two days we stayed with them in mumbai in Atlanta Hotel near MarineDrive.
third time my uncle visited India on 29th June 1998 along with aunty and sujata.after 18 yrs they visited that was very very long gap.....I went with them to Bangalore and MysoreWe all stayed there for four days i.e from 25th to 28th July 1998.We stayed in Tarlu Balu Kendra ,R T nagar in Bangalore.We visited Mysore Chamundi Hills,Mysore palace and k R sagar dam.
Fourth time he visited in 2008 January.He saw me with my husband and my two kids.He was very happy to see us.In Alnavar (my grandmother place) during the house warming ceremony there was a surprise celebration of their 50th marraige anniversary .
we never thought that it would be his last visit to India.His demise was a shocking news for all of us,we never expected this so early
