“Born and raised in Bangalore, India. Secretly applied to college in the US and got a scholarship. Arrived in 1980 with no money to her name. Got her undergrad in two years and her master's in another two. Met an American guy and fell in love. They're happily married 42 years later and never go long without a kiss and an ‘I love you’ whispered between them,” Bloom wrote.
