'Absolute Legend': New York Entrepreneur’s Post for Indian Mom Moving to America in 1980 Goes Viral

The Internet is full of inspiring stories. In an age where the internet is loaded with fleeting trends and viral sensations, a heartwarming post has emerged to remind us about the importance of education. Recently, a New York-based entrepreneur shared his mother’s journey of moving to a completely different continent in the 1980s on X (formerly known as Twitter). In his special post, he gave a glimpse into his mother’s life, who travelled all the way from Bengaluru, India, to America to create a life for herself and, subsequently, her family.

In the viral post, the user shared four beautiful pictures. In the first image, he can be seen posing with his mother. In the second click, the user’s mother and father can be seen posing against the backdrop of the Taj Mahal. Third, the user’s parents can be seen enjoying themselves with their grandkids. The fourth image is the full family photo. The post was shared on an X account named @SahilBloom. Sharing the post, the user wrote a long caption narrating the inspirational story of his mother. He said, “My mom is an absolute legend.”

He described, “Born and raised in Bangalore, India. Secretly applied to college in the U.S. and got a scholarship. Arrived in 1980 with no money to her name. Got her undergrad in two years and her masters in another two.” He further added, “Met an American guy and fell in love. They’re happily married 42 years later and never go long without a kiss and an ‘I love you’ whispered between them.” He describes how his mother started the small business, “started and built a small business, raised two children, and now the proud grandmother to two grandsons. Still has the same energetic, party-loving, mischievous spirit of her youth.”

He shared the post to celebrate his mom’s birthday and wrapped it up by wishing, “What a damn life. What a damn legacy. Happy Birthday, Mama! Here’s to you.”
