Hope of Family !

Born as the second child, sandwiched inbetween the 1st and the last siblings

She obviously had learned to stand on her own legs right from childhood times

Her volunteering for doing household errand works became the daily routine which kept her active

She wouldn't refuse to assist and raised to the need of a situation, she must have nursed back to health atleast a dozen of her relatives

Darling daughter of her dad, she would wait for those moments with him as his profession kept him travelling

Ghee roasted cashews tasted 'amrit' because her father roasted and served her, till date the very sight of cashews flood her with emotional thoughts

As a 'tomboy' she gave the boys a run for life, casually sprinting on the terrace parapet walls was a joy walk for her but a nightmare for the well-wishers

Her natural instincts were more towards outdoor games, social services than the educational curriculum, so

Naturally she droped out of schooling and helped to keep her home in order

Later part of Yr1980s began her married life with a 'moron' who couldn't find a fine balance between Profession & life

The good in her kept her going and her steadfast focus on the families welfare, kept the family healthy

A dozen relocations, multiple financial situations, personal health issues - none of this dented her love for her family

She found her happiness in helping other's and wherever she went, she made friends very easily, friends ranging from age 6 to 86

Her assets are her children and their true love only is keeping her healthy, active and instilling the hope for a bright future

Anyday, from a basket of fruits she would fondly pick the ripe one's for her family and won't mind to taste the sour fruits

A 'gem' of a mother, a loving wife, a caring friend, a well wishing relative and as a mark of 'love'

She is keeping the flame of HOPE alive 🙏
