Dia Mirza Instagram – The ‘silence’ of the night and the super moon! The moon was closest to Earth on the 7th of April 2020 between 8pm and 8am IST. Bringing in one of my birthday’s as a child, Ma @deepamirza blindfolded me, took me out to our terrace and unveiled my eyes. As i looked for my birthday ‘gift’, she pointed out the moon. And said to me, “This year, this is your gift. From this day on, whenever you look at the moon, know it is yours.” I recognise now, more than ever, that these gifts she chose for me were the best gifts a child could ever receive. The sense of belonging and identity with all that is a part of our natural world. Mumbai, Maharashtra
