My mother, Darshi, sophisticated, |
elegant and utterly feminine. |
People who met her even once |
never forgot her warmth, her grace. |
|
With my hand on my heart I can |
say that I never heard her raise her |
voice, or speak a harsh word. |
|
Above all, it was her unconditional |
love and support that gave us |
strength. |
|
She had immense charm. |
Our friends who knew her tease us: |
‘Why couldn’t you girls be more |
like her?!’ |
|
We try...but its a high benchmark. |
|
She died at the age of 64. |
