Prabha would have turned 70 today (27/7/21). Though I miss her physical presence I continue to live with Prabha in my virtual world. As I have always said, instead of mourning her death I have been celebrating her memory every day for the last eight years. She was my life partner for 40 years. She more than lived up to my expectations over the years (I still don`t know if I lived up to her expectations) Befitting our Indian culture, she helped me look after my family, which included my aging parents. As I was busy with my career and involved with several voluntary organizations, she did a great job of balancing her duty to the family and her other interests.
A fast learner, she overcame several of her initial inhibitions to become a
wonderful partner, good daughter-in-law, lovely mother, doting grand mother and
above all a great homemaker! In the last two decades of her life, she acquired an identity of her own as a writer and as a socially active person. She walked tall in our social circles! I was certainly proud of her achievements.
Though
she lived to see the four grand children through my daughters Kavitha and
Sowmya arrive in the world it is a pity
that she is not there to enjoy the two
bundles of joy- 3 years old Thavam
& 5 months old Bhakthi- our resident
grand children born to my son Balaji/Tulse.
In
celebration of her memory I am involved with many activities to identify and
bring to lime light talented women writers under the auspices of Prabha Rajan Talent Foundation. In the
process I am trying to spread happiness around to the best
of my abilities. Hope that keeps my dear Prabha`s soul happy!
