A 12th Anniversary Tribute

Time flies. It has already been 12 years since my life partner left me to join the Lord in heaven. This is a small tribute from me on her 12th Anniversary.

Prabha was a fast learner, who overcame several of her initial inhibitions to become a wonderful partner, good daughter-in-law, lovely mother, doting grandmother, 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.

She called our memorable trip to Kashmir in April, 2012,  a `childhood dream come true`. Unfortunately within six weeks of our return from that dream holiday her world came crashing down. We discovered that she was being consumed by the dreaded crab disease, and metastasis had already set in. Exactly seven months after the diagnosis of the disease she was gone on 5th January,2013. She was only 61. My `Kashmir ki Kali` left me after being my life partner for 40 years.

Instead of mourning Prabha`s death, I have been celebrating her memory for the last twelve years. I am involved with many activities to identify and bring to limelight talented women writers in Tamil under the auspices of  Prabha Rajan Talent Foundation. In the process, not only am I keeping myself active, but also trying to spread happiness around,  Hope that keeps my dear Prabha`s soul happy!
