In a heartwarming gesture of gratitude and love, Aryan Mishra, an accomplished astronomer, recently took his parents out for dinner at ITC New Delhi—where his father had once worked as a watchman from 1995 to 2000. This simple yet profound act of appreciation marked a full-circle moment for the family, as Aryan’s father, a humble man who had dedicated years to his job at the hotel, was treated to a special evening in the same place where he had worked years ago.
Aryan Mishra took to X to share a heartfelt photo with his parents, captioning it, “My father was a watchman at ITC in New Delhi from 1995-2000; today I had the opportunity to take him to the same place for dinner :)”
Aryan, who now enjoys a successful career in the field of astronomy, shared the touching moment on social media, posting a photo of himself, his parents, and the luxurious hotel in the background. He founded Spark Astronomy, a startup that builds affordable astronomy laboratories in schools.
The image quickly garnered attention for its emotional significance and the sentiment it conveyed—of respect for hard work and the journey of life. The photo captured the pride in Aryan’s eyes as he proudly sat next to his father, who, despite having worked tirelessly as a watchman, was now a dinner guest at the very establishment that had once been his workplace.
Reacting to Aryan Mishra’s post on X, user Harish Navuluru commented, “They raised you well! Look at the pride in their eyes! Stay humble always, like them. ❤️” His words highlighted the deep pride and humility that Aryan’s parents instilled in him, reflecting the family’s strong values.
