Of land, loyalty and love

In these days of workplace angst, livelihood loss and rapidly shifting loyalties, the tale of a woman whose century-long familial link with the land she nurtures, is truly remarkable. It is an event to celebrate. A workplace relationship based on love and mutual respect spanning four generations is not the norm anymore. It is also cause for deep reflection as it makes one wonder at what exactly makes for such strong ties. Sentimental as it may sound, the magic word here is Love – for oneself, family, people, work and place – that begets a sense of well-being and contentment worthy of deep appreciation.
