I am sorry for your loss, the words escape me. Having seen dad suffer, then my mother in law with the "C word" i feel your pain. <BR/><BR/>I was a young boy when that picture of your mother's wedding was taken - it was the talk of Chennai(the then Madras)- and I was there. I remember very well that day and the days surrounding it with the festivities of marriage. I rememeber when you and your sister were little ones visiting grandma's house. I remember when all the cousins would assemble for some celebration or the other. Sometimes it was just them coming from school enroute to Orissa. Your mom "Bada Appa" as we called her will always be remembered for her grace and beauty, her intelligence and her humor. You I can see have taken to grow in Bada Appa's shadow just like her. Please give Prem Bhinay and the rest of the family our condolences .<BR/><BR/>Lots Of Love<BR/>Raja Misra, & FamilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367463741444617459.post-59970577627869878322008-09-09T22:16:00.000-07:002008-09-09T22:16:00.000-07:00Dear Nameeta,Life has its own strange ways of rewa...Dear Nameeta,<BR/><BR/>Life has its own strange ways of rewarding you. We were so lucky to have met your mother and to have known her as a pillar of love, strength, courage and conviction. She was indeed the epitome of all that is good. She’s no more with us physically and this surely will always be known and we know it will always be painful to all of you who were so near and dear to her.<BR/><BR/>We pray to God to provide you, your father and all the family all the courage and strength to bear her absence with dignity. <BR/><BR/>To me, she was imperial dignity personified and someone who has achieved oneness with oneself physically and spiritually, and as such establish of direct contact with the only one who rules our lives and destinies in this world and beyond.<BR/><BR/>This is an achievement which is very rarely accomplished and will always continue to remain rare at all times.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Shyam KapurAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367463741444617459.post-24537710099157063742008-09-09T07:28:00.000-07:002008-09-09T07:28:00.000-07:00Nameeta my heartfelt love and prayers for you and ...Nameeta my heartfelt love and prayers for you and family.<BR/>Aunty will live forever in our memories.<BR/><BR/>DivyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367463741444617459.post-30727366225557751812008-09-09T05:20:00.000-07:002008-09-09T05:20:00.000-07:00Dear Nameeta,Thank you for sharing your grief and ...Dear Nameeta,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your grief and thoughts with us.

She is truly majestic, self supporting and at the same time strongly anchored in her beliefs, in her family and in her faith.<BR/><BR/>History has been witness to many miracles of all kinds including the princes, kings, emperors, presidents, commanders who have conquered cities, countries and empires. And yet, all these have, in my opinion, all been in vain. Bacause none of them have ever been able to conquer the sovereignity of the human spirit, its beauty, its strength and its durability.<BR/><BR/>Your mom embodies all of this and we salute her for her victory and for indelible inspiration and concern for others. You have rightly said that she always derived her happiness from the happiness of others. Surely, she also realizes that she has to continue to be around all her family for their happiness lies her happiness.<BR/><BR/>She will always inspire us to continuously pray for all of you always.<BR/><BR/>Shyam KapurAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367463741444617459.post-19318895682179060782008-08-15T04:55:00.000-07:002008-08-15T04:55:00.000-07:00My dearest sister,I love you very much and it is c...My dearest sister,<BR/>I love you very much and it is clear to me that someday we will all see why we have been tested in such a manner. Just in these last six months you have shown so much strength, commitment and service to mom that I am honored and proud to have you as a sister. It is difficult for me being so far away but knowing how attentive Dad and you are with mum helps me sleep at night. You are the angel that was sent to earth to accompany mom and take care of her.
