it is with a deep sorrow that i remember feb-15th last year that my wife parvathi expired due to cancer.. well i remember those days, when we began our wedded life during nov74. we were extremely happy and were on the top of the world. every year we took opportunity to enjoy the holidays away from the hurry-berry city to either hill stations or to temples of south India. our two darlings were born during 77 and 79. our concern was educating them. my wife always wanted the best education for them and i can say confidently that she was a driving force to my children for their higher studies, incidentally my role was very small.but for her efforts, they would not be what they are today. then came their marriages again we were blessed with right daughter-in-laws. then it was in august 2008 that she was struck with 4thstage cancer.i was inwardly very much worried,but she never was weak. she became more courageous[ it was her habit to rise and face any situation boldly] she fought her disease for nearly 2 years, along with her i was also running after doctors,nurses,hospitals etc. very often she was worried about me , as i was always detached from my family rumblings, except for last two years. she always used to say that i do not know anything about our family, which was a harsh truth. now i missed my past 35years of joint venture of married life. her end came suddenly, she was just suffering from pneumonia and could not come out of it and passed away on 15th feb. i always remember her good nature in correcting others whenever they were wrong be it be her relations friends or husband. her interest in children were exemplary she was highly respected as a senior most teacher by udyachal school of vikhroli. her reputation was known in godrej management and soonu bhen the director of godrej called me for a meeting with her after her demise for 45 minutes, and told me about their concern in loosing one of their best teachers. well today i remember her with a deep sorrow.somebody asked me hows my life now? my answer was can you write anything without a paper or any medium whatsoever?------v.veeraraghavan

to others.
A very heartfelt blog on this day Appa. Amma will always be with us in our memories. I can understand that no one can take her place in your life, and that her loss is felt deeply. But your presence is equally important to us and we are happy that she lives with us through you.
