How Love and Mutual Respect Helps Conquer Differences of Language and Background

The 1974-batch IAS officers of Haryana Cadre Vivek Mehrotra and Firoza Mehrotra may have retired 15 years ago, but they are still busy, may be busier than ever. They spoke to Indian Masterminds on some utterly personal issues while ducking couple of bouncers here and there.

One belongs to a Hindu family of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, known for its ravines while the other is from Gujarati-speaking Mumbai-based Parsi family. They came together in 1973-74 in Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) and decided to spend rest of their life together. 51-years later the bond between Haryana-cadre IAS officer Vivek Mehrotra and Firoza Mehrotra, has grown ever stronger.

While Vivek is an avid traveller and an ace photographer, Firoza is a gender activist. Vivek speaks only Hindi and English while Firoza studied German and French as well. But what keeps them together and going is their love and mutual respect besides of course a passion to bring about a positive change in the society while remaining steadfast in their ethics, ideology and morals. 

This is the first time Indian Masterminds has spoken to an IAS couple together. We met them some time ago and interviewed them separately. Those interviews can be watched by clicking on the following links…
