“My delight at meeting him was doubled after he gave me the delicious choorma you made. Neeraj usually tells me what delicious choorma you make, so today, I could not stop myself from writing this letter to you as I got very emotional after eating it. Your gift sent with affection and familiarity reminded me of my mother,” PM Modi said in the letter.
The Prime Minister was likewise overjoyed to receive this gift infused with a mother’s love and care just one day before the start of the Navratri celebrations.
“I keep fast during the nine days of Navratri and in a sense the choorma made by you has become my main diet before these nine days of fasting,” wrote PM Modi in his letter.
