A beautiful story. About the love for a mother but also about the love for a country… Thank you for sharing this Manoj. If you can connect him to me, I’d like to personally gift him a Mahindra KUV 100 NXT so he can drive his mother in a car on their next journey https://t.co/Pyud2iMUGY

We all have been seeing how all our mother’s give up all their time to help us doing everything on time. There are only a few kids who give something in return to their mothers; Krishna Kumar is one of them. The man quit his job and took her mother on a pilgrimage covering a jaw-dropping distance of 48,000 km across Karnataka, Nepal as well as Bhutan. They visited most of the temples coming their way during their journey.
In one of his interviews with a leading newspaper, he said,
“My mother has been stuck in the kitchen for the best part of her life. She has never visited any places outside Mysuru. So, I decided to take her on this pilgrimage.”
The mother-son duo did this trip in January 2018 and said they used to travel in the day and rested in dharamshalas and temples so that besides fuel, there is no major expense incurred. Surprisingly, the scooter did not break down even once during the long journey. Kumar said that he got this idea of taking his mother on a pilgrimage after his father’s death which led to her mother living a lonely life.

Kumar wanted his mother to step out of Mysore and also wished to show her India and hence he did this. Isn’t it heartwarming? It is indeed! Anand Mahindra through his tweet appreciated the beautiful story about the love for a mother and also the love for a country. He also thanked the person who tweeted about this and asked him to connect him to Kumar so that he could gift him a brand new Mahindra SUV so that Kumar can drive his mother in a car on their next journey. That’s really very sweet of him. Well done sir!
The business tycoon is known to be making such sweet gestures quite often. Last year, in February 2018; he gifted a brand new Bolero Maxi Truck Plus to Shilpa, a single mother who had a fast-food joint set up ‘Halli Mane Rotties’ which served north Karnataka dishes in Mangalore (Mangaluru) city in Karnataka.

So, this Mysuru Man is our Traveller of India – from Travellers of India we wish him a good luck & happy Journey for his remaining journery in India.
