He further wrote that just a few days ago, his parents had taken their first flight, and as they were landing in the UK, memories of their village in Telangana and their childhood school days came flooding back to him. He remembered wearing patched clothes, carrying bags made from fertilizer sacks to school, and living without a permanent home for a long time. Seeing his parents now in their own home brought him deep joy and contentment.

Sanjeeva also wrote that this moment does not symbolise any great achievement or wealth, but rather the essence of the journey that led them here. He explained that his mother still signs her name with her thumbprint and his father can barely write his name in Telugu, yet they have now crossed continents to meet their son.
