Every party I do seems to add a few days to my life—and this one was no different. It was a wonderful birthday celebration for Hasu-ben, surrounded by friends and family who had flown in from across the country. The heartfelt speeches reflected Hasu-ben’s determination, hard work, and generosity of spirit. And what a high-energy crowd—it felt like the dance floor was never empty.

But there were a few extra highlights for me.

First, I was truly touched by the time and effort Jigyna, her daughter, put into planning the perfect party—all the way from Washington State. The care and attention to detail she showed for her mother, especially with the celebration falling so close to Mother’s Day, was just beautiful.

Second, I had the joy of being joined by a near and dear friend from India—the great Don Mistry. Together, we wowed the audience with our singing, backed by live music. It was a special moment in an already fantastic evening.
