Tillotama Shome Instagram – Lata Shinde. Happy birthday!! The steel in my spine. We have laughed and cried together. We talked about the men in our lives. Then we laughed and cried even more. She has asked me to get my act together, More than once. She learnt to cook like my mother cooks for me, so I am less home sick. She is extraordinary. Thank you for being so incredibly warm and supportive and for taking such good care of us.
