The last time I saw my grandfather before he died, we had a conversation that changed the course of my life. I was studying at Columbia in 2003 when my father called to tell me that I needed to travel back to Venezuela to see my grandfather for the last time. He was dying of cancer. Escaping the rising tide of Jew hatred that would soon consume all of Europe, my grandfather immigrated to Venezuela in the 1930s. Although he spoke no Spanish and knew no one in the country, he took a job as a bellhop at a hotel in Caracas, learned the language, and soon became the hotel's general manager. When I traveled back to Venezuela in 2003, the country was gripped by widespread protests against its dictator, Hugo Chávez, who—after packing the Supreme Court with loyalists—had convinced it to allow him to run for reelection as many times as he wanted, even though the constitution was clear that he could seek only one, five-year term. In response, over one million Venezuelans took the streets—in a massive show of democratic objection that happened to coincide with my final conversation with my grandfather. He was by then very weak, in a wheel chair, and weighed no more than 90 pounds. He asked me to wheel him out onto the balcony so that we could play chess together, as the crowds amassed in the streets below us. “What kind of lawyer do you want to be?” he asked me during our game. "Well, I don't know," I answered. "I'm still in college." He then raised his bony finger, pointed it at the crowd below, and said: "Always remember — this is what happens to a country when good people don't serve it." That was the last conversation I ever had with him. He died two or three weeks later. But it was because of that conversation, and my deep love for the United States—a country that welcomed my family and me with open arms and which has given us everything we have—that I decided to devote my life to the service of the greatest country the world has ever known.

#MyModiStory My first meeting with Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji took place in 2013, during his historic rally in #Pune. At the time, my father, Anil Shirole Ji, was serving as the BJP Pune City President, and I was working as the General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha. The atmosphere in the city was electric, thousands had gathered, filled with hope and belief that India was on the brink of change. I had the privilege of presenting Modi ji with a detailed comparative report on Gujarat’s development model, showcasing the progress achieved under his leadership in contrast with the governance of Congress-ruled states. He listened with genuine interest, appreciated the effort, and even extended an invitation for me to visit Gujarat and study the model more closely. For a young karyakarta like me, that acknowledgment was not just encouraging... it was transformative. What struck me the most, however, was not just his sharp vision or his attention to detail, but his humility. When I requested a photograph with him, he smiled warmly, readily agreed, and then called my father to join us in the frame. That gesture of including my father, of making the moment a shared memory for our family reflected the depth of his human touch. That photograph from 2013 and the memory of that first meeting remain etched in my heart. Beyond the leader who would go on to change the course of India’s destiny, I saw a person whose simplicity, accessibility, and heartfelt connection with people set him apart. It was a moment that strengthened my resolve to serve society with the same dedication, vision, and humility that defines Narendra Modi Ji. #NarendraModi #Modi75thBirthday BJP भाजपा महाराष्ट्र BJP Pune
