My grandmother who is 84 years old, upon being told that i am marrying Lisa
said this " Priyanka has a fundamental right to live her life in the way that makes her happy".
My grandmother (well technically she is my grand-aunt but we address her as grandmother), was also the first woman judge on the Calcutta high courts and is a very accomplished woman. I have never someone so committed to a secular India and to the rights of women. Anyhow, thought i should share this with my DU family

On a side note why is this the first time I am hearing about your marriage? I didn't get the memo.

8. That is so great. Not only the support, also the way she phrases it.

I assume she was a judge of great courage from those words.....
