Life lived with Conscience and Spirituality - Shanti's legacy attracts admiration from everyoneBy: Ador-AI Since childhood, he provided support to family members in their daily tasks. Child Mortality was big issue at that time. Originally a family of 6 brothers and sisters, 2 of them died at an early age. Even at the age of 95, he gets emotional on reminiscing loss of his brother "Raman" before crossing double digits. He was later admitted to boarding school where he received all his formal education.

The President and Dean of the School ( My Great Maternal Grandfather ) awarded him "Best Student of the School Award" for his exemplary performance. My Grandfather got married with daughter of Dean of the School. My Grandmother who hailed from family of high-class rich educated brothers imbibed roots of education and spirituality since childhood. He gave examinations and later got admitted as teacher in one of the government schools. Impressed by my grandfather's consistent performance, Founder of his School established marriage of his daughter with my grandfather. Self-Independent Demeanour, Lover of Movies and Managerial Traits were some of these attributes. He rose to the ranks of Principal of the School owning to his consistent efforts. All of his three kids also emerged as School Toppers and became engineers in different domains. He retired as Principal and spent all of his remaining years in Spirituality by emphasizing on healthcare and well-being. His shift from village to Vadodara was monumental. He and his wife single-handedly ensured good well-being of four elders ( Great Grandparents and great grand uncle/ aunt ). Built a home filled with love and a rich family of 3 kids and 4 great grandparents. Even in such state of healthcare in India, great grandparents managed to cross 85 years.
