There are only a handful of culinary institutions in this city that have stood the test of time for half a century or more. Serving their patrons faithfully, not just in their fare that harks back to the days when things were simple, but also conveying the nostalgia of many memories across generations. And so it is indeed a sad day when one of them has to close doors soon.
I have visited New Krishna Bhavan in Malleshwaram a few times, to film and to partake of their trademark, unfussy South Canara fare. This time at the restaurant felt different though, its imminent closure palpable in the sentiments echoed by the owners, cooks and many customers for whom NKB was part of their life.
This is an episode I wish I didn’t have to film. But here it is nonetheless. Take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating!
Note: The restaurant’s last day of operation is 5th Dec 2023.

My parents used to come here and the park opposite when they just got married. My mom is no more. I came here as a kid. My teacher got married here when I was in 10th. My son is in 10th now. For 3 gens we relish the green masala idli. We went yesterday to have it one last time😢. Sad that some of the old time Malleshwaram families are not able to protect their assets because the next gen have settled abroad. Apartment buildings have replaced the beautiful homes. Gold shops have replaced eateries :😢

[@santoshkarkera9371]

Such a shame that the tik tok generation doesn't value the brand and business bulit through hard work by their grandfather who was the founder of this establishment. The founder must be crying for the deeds of his grandchildren. Shameful that they dont want to compete with McDonald's of the world. Shame on owners who destroy business built by the previous generation.

[@financekabaap]

Hey @kripal, this video is a stark reminder of what's being lost in the relentless march towards so-called "progress" in the culinary world. The closure of New Krishna Bhavan isn't just about the end of a restaurant; it's the death knell for authenticity, tradition, and genuine human connection in the food industry. Your other videos often showcase the invasion of robots and AI (and yes, I am cryptically referring to those "gloves-wearing chefs") into the kitchen, turning the art of cooking into a mechanized, soulless process. NKB, with its nostalgic ambiance and decades-old recipes, represents a dying breed in the face of this heartless trend. It's disheartening to witness the reduction of food to a mere product, assembled like a fast-food chain, where the human touch is replaced by a cold, mechanical process. It's important to point out the absurdity of cloud kitchens offering the same taste everywhere. It's a formulaic approach that drains the unique flavors and character out of regional cuisine. NKB, on the other hand, stands as a testament to the soul and dedication that go into crafting each dish. The video beautifully captures the essence of what a restaurant should be - a place where emotions and relationships are as important as the food. The 75-year-old cook, unsure about what to do next, symbolizes a dedication and love for the craft that's increasingly rare in an era obsessed with early retirements and robotic efficiency. The audience too, at every scene, reminds you of their relentless love for this restaurant, something you don't see in other new-age restaurants. Contrast this with the attitude displayed by some modern establishments, where everything seems to be about presentation, packaging, and maximizing profits. The focus on business over gratitude is painfully evident, and it's a sad commentary on the direction the industry is heading. Marketing with a "desi-touch" like "thatte idly," "donna biryani," etc., is infuriating in its reduction of a cultural treasure to mere product packaging and sterile recipes. My sincere request and call for more videos like this are a plea for collective soul-searching. It's a reminder that we, as consumers, hold the power to shape the narrative. Let's support establishments like NKP that embody the spirit of genuine, heartfelt cooking. Because in the end, it's not just about the food; it's about preserving our culinary heritage and the human stories behind every dish. #SaveOurTraditions #NKBForever

Why did they not continue

[@svgops2001]

We, as a family, can never forget Mr. Ramakrishna Prabhu and New Krishna Bhavan. When our youngest daughter was born 41 years ago, there was a medical emergency and we were advised to present immediately to the nursing home on Malleswaram 6th cross. Since we were living near BEL then, we chose to live in a room at New Krishna Bhavan for 10 days to be close to the nursing home during an emergency. I must admit we got angel of a doctor in Dr. Haridas and an angel of a caretaker in Ramakrishna Prabhu who ensured that we were all taken care of. Mr. Prabhu became a good friend of my mine and even though our meetings were far and few in between, we maintained a very good relationship whenever we visited New Krishna Bhavan. So was his son, Sundar, a gem. I am now 80 and I find the number of such souls shrinking. NKB, we will miss you.

My parents wedding reception happened here in 1972. We will see New Krishna Bhavan begin again in our Bengaluru. There is someone important watching this video and will join hands with Shri. Sunil Prabhu to restart this Temple of Food. My intuition is strong on this. The wishes of all food lovers will ensure it happens soon. Waiting to see the Headline New Krishna Bhavan takes birth again.

[@kotursrinivas5019]

I have been visiting NKB for the last 50 years since my college days. Now at 71, I feel heavy hearted to miss it. Such landmarks & legends are rare.

[@shottyaiyer]

I remember visiting this place when I visited Bangalore with my parents and sister in 1970. The second time was when we came here in the early '80s on a study tour with our college. Have visited the place a few times after I moved to Bangalore. Really sad to hear they are closing down. It was one place with authentic Kannadiga food. Truly heart-breaking.

[@sujadutta]

Bangalore has lost many many many of its greatest iconic landmarks. I remember crying my heart out the day India coffee bar shut down on MG road. I had my earliest memories connected to it since I was 3 years old. Good bye dear NKB. We will all miss you.😢😢😢

[@maheshsawant3538]

Kripal I am from Mumbai I have never been to this place nor ever seen this place but all through your episode I was just chocking and could not control my tears. Feel so very bad for Sunil and also the staff who are working in the kitchen since last 45 years I really don’t know what all emotions they all must be going through. Also it was very difficult to see Sunil cry I can understand what all must be going through his mind now but Kripal as you rightly said in the end that there is always a reason for this to happen probably something good . My best wishes to Sunil and all his staff at the Mew Krishna Bhavan. God bless them all 🙏🏻🙏🏻. One uncle rightly called this as an Institution. God bless you Kripal to bring out this episode so that many of its fans can have what they crave for one last time.

[@avishjha4030]

🙏🙏🙏

[@worldpeace5853]

Part of life. I wish everyone who worked in the restaurant find any job that is as good as they had before. They deserve peace of mind at this age. I am a Bangalorean born in the late 70s watching from Minnesota right now. Each time I see something like this it brings tears to my eyes.

[@MitaRajeshTolia]

Beautiful !!!!!!!! I don't think anyone could have given this eatery a better farewell than this. 🙏

[@bseena]

NKB will always be special to me. I had my breakfast here regularly in my childhood when I was living in Malleswaram, I met my fiance for the first time here, loved the green idlis and the ghee idlis here. Will Miss this iconic eatery. Wishing Mr. Sunil Kumar and the staff the very best in all they do. Thank u Kripal for this episode.

[@Codetutor-DemystifyCoding]

This came as a shock when I read it in news paper. Visit to Malleshwaram was incomplete without visiting this restaurant for me for many years. I think profitability was never a problem as I have never seen it empty on any day of the week. It's sad to lose this iconic eatery 😢

[@vkchaitanya2003]

Real estate is expensive there, they would have got a good deal

[@nskreviews923]

Came across this video by accident , I have never been to this place, I am not even from Karnatak , but still felt sad . When old iconic places built on hard work of generations close , its heart breaking. Good luck to this very humble looking owner and the staff members

[@name_802]

It's *Karnataka

[@mrcricketanalyst]

It's not karnatak mf, learn before commenting

[@sankhdeepmitra5332]

If NKB can look back on its legacy, I think it can only do so with pride. Being open for 70 years has been a huge achievement. No doubt for those of us who grew up eating the food here, we will miss the establishment incredibly. The regional specials here were an innovation back in the day and stood the test of time over decades. The broader question is whether the hype and hoopla surrounding some of the newer establishments is contributing to the decline of old classics. I am sure there are valid arguments on both sides of the debate. Hope to see NKB's legacy live on in a new avatar some day.

[@rooparavi5454]

It’s not easy to say , change is part of life. My grandfather and I would visit here ever so often with our house on the road behind it in the 80’s and 90’s . Thumba dukkha aagthidhe to hear this. Always visited NKB every time I visit India 😔 So thank you NKB for the familiar comfort you provided our family . God bless the NKB family.

[@sureshramanathan713]

A couple of months ago I visited NKB with my brother and had a feast. I appreciate the sincerity , feelings for his employees and customers . Mr. Sunil Prabhu ' a truthness and feelings for customers and employees will keep him in good shape. Hats off Mr.Kripal for meeting and comforting the owner and employees. Hope God keep MR Sunil Prabhu in good health and guide him in whatever business he decides to do in future. I sincerely, pray that all employees get suitably placed for their loyalty.

[@user-rj5my4ry4d]

I am not from benguluru but I humbly request local PPL visit and honour the staff especially the senior staff. They have spent their life serving customers and it's now customers turn 🙏🙏

[@sanjaysagar4904]

Very emotional episode. Slowly tears started coming out of my eyes. God bless eateries like this that served people for many years. Lost for words

[@raghunandansrinivasan773]

Sad to see the 'legacy' fade out , but leaving a positive imprint on the minds of its customers across many generations and its neighborhood: Malleswara(m). Thank you, Kripalji. Our thanks to the Founder and their committed team. Best wishes to all of them.

[@Harsha.kj.]

This news certainly came as a shock and the closing of this eatery has affected me more than India losing the World Cup 🙈 I used to stay in this area and if we had guests home, we would bring them here to Gopika. My visit to Mantri Mall would be incomplete without a visit here. Unfortunately this area does not have many nice family restaurants with a comfortable ambience and great food. Iconic hotels like Janata or CTR or By2Coffee aren't places where one can celebrate occasions. But Gopika was different. My parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary here and after my court marriage, both our families had a meal at this place. As I live in Gurugram, I wouldn't even be able to pay it one last visit. Thank you for this video. Watching this is the next best thing. 🙏

[@AM-pg1zo]

The Staff not able to control the tears 😞... Salute to them keeping the taste from decades ❤.... Bengaluru people's always support their old legacy hotels....That is they love towards their culture and respect....I am also visiting only the legacy hotels .

[@gurujiphoenix]

I have never been to this restaurant. I have no connection, but dear Kripal, this was a story so beautiful told with real emotions that i have a lump in my throat. Wishing the owners staff and you the best. 🎉

[@MAYURJAINKS]

Our family outing during 80's and 90's, our old chetak, me standing in front, Appaji, Amma and our cute sister who was infant during that times, would go around to Malleswaram and taste the best north and south indian dishes, during at that time, mantri mall was complete wondering land no human habitat, it used to be scary during night times and we as kids would get chills to go to hotel and we used to enjoy the ride back, what golden days and what memories for our family, will surely visit the place to pay respect and also to jog down some memory of my family, i can surely miss the hotel and our memories.

[@jayashreeganesh5363]

What a shock that New Krishna Bhavan in Malleswaram is closing down because of Partners family who do not want to be in the food sector business but sadly all regular customers will find it difficult. If business partners family create conflict then we have to let go. I have been watching all the videos of NKB of yours. I pray to lord krishna to them the strength to do what is in their destiny from now onwards ..... om nama sivaya

[@bernardpraveens6786]

feeling so emotional to see them shut down😢 I remember in early 2002, the newly married us (me n my wife) ate our 1st meal there & after that, we made sure to get back whenever we could, after our salary day with family friends. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your service, wish all of you at NKB the best life can ever give. 🙏❤🙏

[@vasanthkumarjayaraman6753]

Tears rolled throughout, even though haven't visited. Emotions palpable 😢

[@hemavathikumar9123]

Iconic ! Born and brought up from Srirampuraa .... It was a pride for any 80's parent to get a birthday party here back then

[@arthijaiswal8755]

Thank you so much . As an ardent fan of NKB I really miss. Being abroad , I am struggling to still come to terms. As a child I would weekend eat here. I often would bump on his dad. Very good people. South Indian food is yummy and it's authentic here. Great job. Still not convinced on the reason

[@EAGLEYES112]

Sunil is too much of a restaraunteur to not be in the hotel industry. His hospitality is amazing.. The family should have compromised bearing him in mind. He is a rare gem that should be given due regard. But I am not sure of the intricacies of their business arrangement. God bless him. Blessings from Kerala . May the love for avial spread far and wide

[@Surajjoshi85]

I am also one of those many who have commented here that witnessed the old world charm and tasty food of NKB and admired it a lot. There were many occassions where I have visited the restaurant with friends and family and always left it happier than when I entered. There will never be another NKB!... Well done NKB!, everyone who worked there can be proud that they were working at an icon which lasted 70yrs.

[@srinivasr7990]

@Kripal Amanna, awesome coverage, feeling nostalgic, It was really awesome you met Our Jolly Friends Cricket group,, You are so Humble & friendly, Keep going. BTW we used to play in Bashyam park grounds in the 90's, and A FORCE TO RECKON WITH IN tennis ball :) CRICKET

I am also 70 years old now at Munnekolala Bengaluru. Although never visited NKB even once I feel lifeless on noticing such a famous palatable restaurant is closing forever. I am really shocked.😢😰

[@HarshaSwamy]

Places like NKB often become more than just eateries - they become a part of our lives, filled with nostalgia and a sense of connection. The shared experiences with family and friends during different phases of life create a unique bond with such establishments. Malleswaram without NKB😢, sad reality

[@shimaj7628]

😢😢😢😢😢 miss my wonderful days and moments with this hotel ❤❤❤ whenever I took my family to Bangalore must we visit and enjoy the food and coffee ☕☕☕☕ wow wow it's tremendous 😋😋😋😋 Miss it now 😭😞😭😞😭

[@krysha4146]

Places like NKB defines Malleshwaram. We are slowly the losing such iconic old Bangalore landmarks to new age malls, shopping complex and restaurants. Sad to see Bangalore transform. I hate this new Bangalore, because it does not have a culture. Old Banglore has a culture which is being lost. Few months back it was Samrat restaurant, now NKB, what else is coming ? 😞

[@rashmikulkarni5489]

Agree..once Malleshwaram and Basavangudi give in to malls and multiplexes by demolishing old traditional landmarks, Bengaluru is done and dusted - in soul, not body and mind. Sad.

[@Ash-jh3gh]

Bangalore is going to be crowded with non Karnataka eateries like Rameshwaram cafe

[@rlakshman85]

​@@Ash-jh3ghvery true. I would even accept rameshwaram cafe, but worst is our kids going to MacD, KFC and Pizza Hut etc

[@SD-ld5lz]

​@@rlakshman85we have huge issue going for family dinner. Our children want to go to Restobar.

[@pushpanarayan6781]

I am not a Bangalore resident, but I do visit to Bangalore quiet often as my sister lives in Malleswaram, and hv visited NKB many time and relished the food, feel really sad to know about it's closing, I can feel the real pain in Sunil Prabhu's eyes, but iam strongly getting a feeling an positive vibes somewhere in Bangalore again this outlet NKB will come into existence once again with Prabhu family's new generation. Feel this is like an institution can't close and end like this, with so many strong pillars, so let's pray and hope for the best.🎉🎉

[@niranjanaradhya_]

Thank you Kripal sir for featuring NKB at the time of closing days, very heartfelt seeing the video. Missing the authentic dishes like Neer dosa, Ravapongal, Green masala which is my favourite everytime whenever I visit and a coffee.

[@ravip1849]

To Mr Kripal Amanna its the first of its kind in your career . Its always sad to shoot such closing business . Lots of loving things are involved and very challenging to cover in one episode . Heart touching . But inevitable . Thank you Kripal and NKB . Take care of your employees. Change is permanent in this world . Almost all old Enterprises in Malleshwarara , Samipe Road have closed . Old Bangalore is now Modern Bangalore .😢😢😢😢

[@kantharajs2612]

Being a Mysoorean I have not visited this hotel even once but still after seeing this video i am really emotional.

Thank you .🙏🙏🙏

[@uttamkumarroy7337]

A restaurant is not only a business but also a value. Many interactions are involved in this business. Sunil's tears tell how a tradition is being abolished from our society! Good luck to Sunil and his coworkers as if they start and keep the tradition with the same aspect 🙏

Really really sad ...such a lovely restaurant feel sad for all the humble staff and wonderful human being the owner Mr Sunil Prabhu, Sad part is Mr sunil Prabhu's partners thought money is more important than humanity am sure they didn't even think of the families (staff) who are dependent on this great restaurant . I sincerely thank Mr Kripal Amanna for airing this episode ...God bless the wonderful people

[@manumehra929]

Heart wrenching to see such a legendary eatery close down, kripal you captured the essence very beautiful, as they say “the bad thing about good things is that they never last forever and the good thing about bad things is that they too never last forever” and this was one of those very good places I wished lasted forever

[@dr.n.mohan-738]

Very sad 😢 to know that they are closing it. It was great traditional landmark restaurant in Malleswaram. Always felt homely to eat all authentic tasty traditional South Indian food items. I appreciate the great service of NKB management and their dedicated staff for their customer oriented service for so many years. Best wishes to all of them.

[@sugandhakausik6515]

I was shocked to hear the news of NKB shutting down. I have fond memories of visiting this place as a child with my grandparents and parents. My maternal thata used to have his cup of coffee after his morning walk at Bhashyam park. It is an institution in itself. I guess we all will miss the old world charm and vibe and ofcourse the culinary tradition which NKB is known for. I am happy that my small kids know of this place and have visited and eaten here umpteen times. Feeling sad for sure.

[@sunnysshashidhar7682]

Very sorry to hear such iconic eatery being closed for good. Customers as Mr. Sunil mentions is emotionally attached with the place as they come to relax and also enjoy the food also taking break from monotonous schedule will surely missed.

[@Techtips200]

It breaks your heart when you hear such stories ...love from Pune

[@vishwanathmosale1356]

I remember visiting this place from 1978 as kid ....have fond memories around this place started entrepreneurial journey from a building next door NKB and our lunch used to be from NKB, while I was not a very frequent visitor but still I would go 3 to 4 times a year ...some locations , buildings and places aren't just physical it emotes an unexplainable feel and NKB for me is that feeling...I am sure all that happens is for good and NKB for me will be etched in memory for this life time

[@arkaghosh2433]

People who have grown in that city/place's vicinity can relate to this feeling and who have had food from there pretty often even more.Such was the feeling when many of the single screen theaters closed permanently in Kolkata, maybe the infrastructure wasn't upto the mark when compared to the latest cinema experience that Inox was providing but the memories of watching the movies with friends sometimes by bunking school,college is something which is irreplaceable 😢 Similar happened with me when the Pub World (in bridage road)closed down or when Appu Ghar and Regal Cinema closed down(delhi)a place where I have been 3rice as a child during Delhi visits

[@sharathshetty3882]

Really a sad thing which I have seen from my childhood close. Hope good for the team which gave us a lot of memories and happiness

[@sugeethster]

Yes only a bangalorean can understand what nkb meant for us

[@mritula-nithyabalaji1844]

We had our reception in 2006. Inspite of huge rush, they managed well. Eating there and walking in opposite park is great experience.

[@MedianMagic]

I used to live in Seshadripuram, an area adjacent to Malleswaram. Visited NKB several times growing up in the 70-80s. Didn't go back for many years as I moved out of Bangalore. Went there a few years ago and a friend of mine insisted we go down for a bite at NKB. That was when we had their Green Idlis. I was absolutely blown away by the taste. No doubt, spicy but simply delicious. Devastated that NKB like so many other eateries that I used to frequent during my youth are all disappearing. Change and the fast pace of life have claimed too many victims.

[@jraja01]

Good luck to the owner of NKB and here's hoping that he is able to start another restaurant venture even if elsewhere in bangalore and bring back in some of the experienced hands from this NKB to keep the magic going.

[@kadabaviswanath801]

Growing up in and around Malleshwaram I know how much this place holds for regular food no matter how developed the citi is it’s the classic food that is always the best sad it’s closing

[@sgbgl]

I used to frequent this place from 1992 to 2005 especially in the evenings. I love their rava pongal and idly sambar. Not to forget the badam halwa! Sad that it is getting closed!!

The world has seen people come flourish and go, but this is very nostalgic for benglureans a restaurant an iconic eatery to have such an LWD. Definetely we will miss the freshly brewed coffee & bisi bisi thindi. An icon is irreplaceable and an iconic place will always remain in our heart and mind forever.

Today is Saturday as we are watching this episode, we are very sure tomorrow on Sunday this place will jam-packed 100% .

Sad to learn the iconic NKB would work only till 5-12-23! While the customers can changeover to some other Restaurant, the workers are the hard hit really. I pray n hope all the workers working here are suitably placed at the earliest. Many thanks to Kirpal sir for his last review of the hotel.

Really sad to hear and guessed some jewellery chain will be taking over the property. Kind of tears in my eyes. All the best for the owner and hope you will be starting new Krishna Bhavan.

[@shailasampath206]

Really so shocking to see in the news... Visited NKB for the last time today... I'm very much a malleshwarm person, as I have a lot of memories...being graduated from Ammanni college. Miss NKB very much

[@surajhaldipur3408]

I'm commenting only because Prof. Mr. Mohan kumar is in this video.. All the best for NKB.

[@Vickyleo9882]

Heart touching video. ❤ Sad to hear its shutting down.😢. Thanx for shooting this video kripal sir 🙏🙏

[@harshrk4468]

I regret a lot that i didnt get an opportunity to visit this iconic place during my stay in Bengaluru 😢 even though im found of Namma native authentic food

[@mahima1536]

Really sad to see these legendary places closing down slowly in most places..giving way to chain of restaurants or brands or malls which can never be close to heart...

[@ruchiramunjal6061]

Very Nice Vlog Featuring An Iconic Eatery !! Very Sad To Know Such Land Mark Is Closing. Serving Home Cooked Food , Reasonable Priced , And In The Food Business For Half A Century Is Remarkable. All The Best For Future To Everyone. 🙏

[@lettheworldknowjustice4409]

I'm 28 years old Guy from Rajajinagar and I remember & my Memories about New Krishna Bhavan its my childhood restaurant and I'll miss it Green Idly 😢 I miss it

[@snehareddy4104]

I always used to pass right front of this hotel road to guttahalli smelling masaledose during 70s coffee smell for bangalore weather in those days no words to describe

[@user-cv5yc9kd9w]

24:35 very sad to see an owner so helpless…. Though I haven’t been there but to see such a place close down was quite emotional.

[@yathinsurya4270]

I Still remember visiting here with my grandfather, whenever we came to malleshwaram, it was sad to see it shutting down.

[@surendra.t.p3541]

s All good things Should come to an end... Thats the bitter truth & also Irony of life. Mr. Prabhu... All the best.. ಅನ್ನದಾತೋ ಸುಖೀಭವ A legacy . a journey has ended... Thanks Kripalji for revisiting this place

[@dm1341]

Sad to see my favorite restaurant closing, I have been visiting this place since my childhood. Whenever I visit India, it is a must to go and eat with my mama and friends, a lot of memories eating their idlis and other dishes

[@vagjagan]

My cousins stayed at pipeline, malleshwaram. This place was nostalgic ❤. Gonna miss this place!!!

[@eminem2000in]

Such an emotional episode- definitely cannot rewatch this one, similar to the episode with our Appu. Malleswaram will never be the same again! It’s a loss for Bangaloreans and I hope NKB is revived in some shape or form, in some corner of Malleswaram.

[@pvmkrishnakumar7684]

Dear sir, it is very bad time for nkb. People who have worked there is very bad to see them in this type of situation. All the best to all employees of nkb

[@602vikki]

We can see the emotions on Mr. Sunils face throughout this episode. Sad to see cities like Bengaluru, Chennai are loosing its heritage.

[@666madhusudhan]

Sunil was my childhood friend. Very sweet chap . Hope he does well

[@AjithuOpositive]

I just can't imagine how this situation would be. Visiting since bachelor days to meeting life partner for the first time to have masala idlis here, memories are so good and remain good. You will be really missed NKB. Thank you.

[@hmb1653]

I wish NKB, the owners, the partners, their employee pillars to have very good times ahead. Mr Kripal, your great work helped several struggling eateries after the pandemic and I wish some miracle can recourse the NKB decision and we get to see it again. Couldn't have had a better send off. To me it really feels, "until we meet again" with NKB.

[@umashankarts8108]

This is a sad moment, I would visit regularly, during avarekai season, for meals a decade ago. Great food. Will miss very much.

[@singhivan]

Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦. It's clearly evident that Mr Sunil is very, very emotional and heartsore that his eatery will be closing. My opinion is that he doesn’t want it to close and perhaps it's not by any choice of his own. Be that as it may, we wish him and his very hard workers all the very best in the future. I somehow hope that Mr Sunil reopens another eatery. It was very sad to see his final speech towards the end of this video. I can feel his pain and discontent after him being there for 23 years. Mr Sunil....... I wish you the best going forward. Regards

[@nonegog5]

The success of such legacy restaurants lies in the hearts of the employees. Happy employees will make happy customers. I wish to own a restaurant some day. I only hope I find such employees to work with, with whom I can grow taking care of each other. It's a life well lived for all these people.
