Reflecting on Childhood and Journey
In his caption, Sanjeeva recalls his modest childhood in Telangana:
“Few days ago, my parents took their first-ever flight. As they were landing in the UK, my mind went back to my school days in village in Telangana, India. I remember wearing trousers with patches on them. I remember carrying my books in a school bag made from a used fertiliser sack. For much of my life, we didn’t even have a proper house."
Significance Beyond Achievement
Sanjeeva emphasizes the moment is more than an achievement — it represents a new chapter and deep emotional connection to their shared journey.
Author’s summary: Sanjeeva’s video beautifully captures the profound joy and significance of his parents’ first flight, symbolizing hope and progress from humble beginnings.
