Rotarian Mira Kapadia shared a breathtaking presentation of her trip to India and Dubai the summer of 2023 with her mother, son and daughter for about one month.  It was the first time her grown children have been to India & they got to meet their grandmother for the very first time who is 105 years old. She explained how everyone ate fresh food, and in the building where she had lived along with other buildings, there would be vendors selling fresh produce (India is largely vegetarian and cows are sacred) near the entry to their building as well as other buildings thus there were no grocery stores.
 
 Mira took us from a map of where she flew to in the emirates and then to Mumbai (aka Bombay) where she spent her childhood until about 9 years old, to a video by her son as they drove showing us many scenic pictures including them riding camels, and she showed us the area of Mumbai where she spent her childhood (also a picture of her when she was a toddler with who we would call a babysitter – the babysitter connected with her on the internet and so she got to have a meal with her while there). 
 
She told us of the differences between Dubais and India and the waters were so pure you could see many feet down to the bottom – beautiful sceneries, beautiful temples both in India and Dubai.  Marble is a big industry in that region.  The temple in this picture is the temple (Jain Temple but full name is Babu Amichand Panalal Adishwarji) that Mira used to go to as a child and taken there by her grandmother.
