Hearing from Manisha Lohia about her parents and how inspired she feels, we were intrigued enough to write this post. Manisha herself enjoys being a hostess, cooks delicious dishes, is an ardent student of Kathak & is helpful in more ways than one can imagine.
When we asked her for a recipe which is a favourite with her parents, she promptly said – Traditional fruit salad. She even prepared it for the Terra Madre Day organized by us. Before posting the recipe, we are happy to write about Manisha’s parents, Champa Devi & Shri Hariprasad Kanoria. Below is a collage of photographs created by Manisha as a gift to her parents on this special day, their golden anniversary.
J&P: Manisha, our first question to you is one that you are ardent about – Motherhood. Tell us about your mom.
Mathru Devo Bhava. Motherhood – living up to the demands of children is a Herculean task and that too FIVE of us. I think my mother has played a tremendous role in shaping each one of our lives and has prioritized being a mother over every other role of hers. She has proven to all of us that a mother does not have to be a CEO at home, rather, she just has to be…and thereby let her children be.
J&P: Tell us briefly what your parents represent for you?
Manisha: Together, Papa & she have been like an umbrella under whose shade we have felt safe and happy, growing without inhibitions. Perhaps I can say that they have been a Godly example and this is a rich legacy we carry with us.
J&P: Manisha, congratulations on your parents celebration today. What is your tribute recipe?
Today, the 10th of March 2011, as they complete their golden years of marriage, I would love to pay a tribute to them on your site – aptly named “whose food we eat, their song we sing” – with the ‘Traditional Fruit Salad’. This is a recipe which is my mother’s specialty and one that Papa (and all of us) have relished through our growing years and even now.
Papa & Mummy, on this lovely day, I pray that may we see many more decades of your togetherness!

I want to show appreciation to you just for rescuing me from such a setting. Right after exploring through the search engines and seeing basics which are not powerful, I assumed my entire life was well over. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the issues you’ve sorted out by means of your main article is a crucial case, as well as those that might have badly damaged my career if I hadn’t discovered your web page. Your know-how and kindness in controlling all the things was very helpful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come across such a step like this. I am able to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the specialized and sensible help. I won’t think twice to refer the blog to any person who needs guidelines about this problem.
