On Mother's Day, Usha Vance (Second Lady of the United States) shared a heartfelt podcast session with her mother, Lakshmi Chilukuri. The mother-daughter duo celebrated their shared love for reading, reminiscing about cherished childhood memories. Lakshmi, a scientist and college professor, read excerpts from Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories, particularly the tale of “How the Camel Got His Hump,” infusing it with humor and sound effects that delighted her grandchildren. They reflected on the lessons within the stories, discussing themes of responsibility and consequences, and connected these to their family experiences, including travels in Rajasthan. Usha emphasized the importance of storytelling in fostering bonds across generations and wished viewers a Happy Mother’s Day, urging them to read with their mothers or grandmothers as a meaningful tradition.
