Anagha, my cousin Rajashree’s daughter, is a busy doctor in the States. When I asked her to write something for her mother, I thought she probably would take some time but she quickly came back with photos and text. Sadly, I have seen neither of them for a long time now. But we remain connected despite the distances.
Rajashree is also Radha’s daughter… See
Here is what Anagha wrote: -
“Mom has several qualities that I love but these are the four in the forefront.
1. I love how she used to stay up late with me while I was studying or painting.
2. She still understands me better than anyone else, which amazes me every time. I truly don’t think there’s anyone in the world who knows me better than my mom.
3. I love that she stays true to who she is and always does what she believes is right, regardless of what others may think.
4. She is rarely ever in a bad mood. She has such a simple, genuine, and clear heart and mind — never pretending to be one way while thinking another.
She always encouraged me to talk to more people and be more outgoing since I’ve always been more introverted. She still does. I think, in the end, it really helped me become a better person for my patients.
I think I feel the same way about my mom. I looked up to her growing up, and I still do. Now that I’m older and have met more people in life, I appreciate even more who she is as a person.
The New Habit I would like to gift her: Use sunscreen generously and spend more money on herself.”
In these few lines, I got to know so much about my cousin. Raji as we know her always makes me feel like a little baby when she calls me ‘Lekhu Kutty’ or Lekha, the little child.
This series of articles can be considered as a collaborative family memory chart for the future generations and the ones already finding it hard to figure out who’s who in the family. Maybe it can be a trend and you can do one for your family too?
