About me / us: My mother's father and uncles were close associates of Mahatma Gandhi. They marched with Gandhi in the famous salt march. My mother's uncle founded and managed an ashram or commune in late 1940s named after Kasturba, Gandhi's wife, for which Gandhi laid the foundation stone. As an infant I played in the lap of Kasturba quite often and I am also said to have been cradled by Gandhi. Kasturba's brother lived with Kunverji Mehta, my mother's uncle, for many years as Gandhi asked Kunverji to take care of his brother-in-law in his old age. We called him Mama or mother's brother. He often led us in the community's morning prayers.
