When the earth shook and rattled the people of Nepal, my Aunt had already bade good-bye to her mortal remains. It all happened very fast. A living breathing and talking person was no more. A very set of sombre days followed.
The whole family mourned her and by recollecting fond memories, celebrated her life. With technology to our aid, we shared and shared various anecdotes and paid homage to the Dear Departed.
A natural teacher that she was, her teaching me in my primary years play itself on my mind. It was in her company that I had begun reading books and it was to her that I would write letters. Simple books and really simple letters, when I was in Class 1. At that age of 5, when I began forming sentences, her guidance led me to develop great interest in reading and writing. Whatever language I can boast of today, she honed the skills
Though over the years life casued some drifting apart, I will forever remember reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
She would constantly remind me that "One Word Answers" are most important, "they will fetch you marks". She led the way to learning in an organised manner and tutored me on various good manners. We were polite children but her lessons in being well mannered made us even better.
I do feel some regret for the oppurtunities lost, but console myself that I was able to meet her before she said her goodbyes.
A void left by her, felt greatly by everyone close to her. She will forever be missed. A great lady, who led a very simple life and whose kind heart has bestowed blessings on all and sundry
It deeply saddens me to think of her, I can still hear her calling my name and the joy on her face when she finds me at her doorstep. Saddens me for the young and innocent days I spent in her company and now there seems no way of remembering them without realising that they are lost forever
She did a lot of charity and was a very selfless woman. She loved her family and very loyal in her friendships. Her inner-strength is an inspiration to all.
Her final ceremonies were conducted peacefully and we all felt a sense of satisfaction. The sense of well being that is normally a sign of great positivity. She was always full of it. A very positive person. It felt like she had decided to turn a Guardian Angel and watch upon us. Her love was so selfless and unexpecting.
A true ROLE MODEL. Athi as we all called her, she surely showed how to live life and how to live on people's hearts.
