"Personally, it is not just the beginning of a new year for me. It is replete with beautiful memories. It is Saira's mother Naseem Banuji's (Appaji) birthday and my thoughts turn to her and the way she made a difference to our lives," he wrote. "My thoughts turn right now to Appaji and the quiet, unobtrusive way she made sure I was living the life that even a king would have envied. She was the epitome of beauty, grace and refinement and it reflected in her speech and manners. "Appaji always made January 1 special not for herself but for all of us by giving us a lovely day with some gorgeous surprises. Appaji, brought me and Saira together in marriage in 1966. She taught Saira to be the caring, unselfish and understanding wife she is and I would credit it to Appaji that Saira evolved over the years into a strong, gracious woman with the will to bring my own family closer to me. "Saira and I have accepted the will of God and learned to live without her but not a day passes without our thoughts recapturing her contribution to the strength of our marriage and love for each other. Appaji, we love you," he posted.
