OBITUARY TO A MOTHER

Ramkali devi, mother of my mother, passsed away today, on the mother's day. She was around 75 and is survived by 5 daughters. Her husband, A famous doctor from Bihar had passed away couple of years back. He is survived by a wife, two daughters and 4 sons. yes, he had two mairrages and my my mom was the eldest of siblings in from both the mairrages.
My Maternal grandfather, got married at an early age, later he went to BHU and further to become a doctor. He went to kerela for some professional reasons in the sixties. Met Mary, there and wedded her and got back to Bihar.
He was a famous doctor and non practicing communist. there was not much ressitance from the family. He went on to settle in a different town. Ramkali devi, lived in the village till today. she must have been 30 yrs old when her husband walked out of her life. She preffered not to be a burden on any of her daughters, and lived alone. once in a while she used to visit all her daughters, but made her discomfort felt to them.
people living in cities, ususally think, that Electricity, telephone, TV, fans and AC are necessity and that is what makes the difference between a town and a village. well, her village did not have any of this, infact she did not have a proper toilet. but she was happier there than any city.
I spoke to my mother a while back, sobbing she said, " I couldnt do anything for her".
Well thats the best reward that she can expect.
Bravo Mother's.
