May her soul RIP. Mother is the creator in this world. She creates every time for the world, molds it and gives it selflessly for others services. Such is the greatness of a Mother.

May God give you strength to go through this traumatic time.

Rgds,
Guru

Dear Sir,

I don't know you personally but have been following your blog regularly. One day in course of meandering through the posts came across a GEM which has become my favourite quotation or shall I say philosophy- one which I put as my office Mail status as it inspires me a lot...

..."when you can learn anything, you can do anything" - such a beautiful, empowering and inspiring philosophy!

Am so sad to hear about your loss, can only offer my prayers, as don't have the right words to express

Regards,
Rahul

Vishal Sikka Sir, Very Sorry to hear. The time you joined us, you had a big responsibility and this is an unexpected emotional moment. While all has its own right/wrong moment, everything comes at its own time. I will pray god to give you the strength to guide us and overcome the GAP left by your mother.

Hello Vishal,

happened to visit your blog and read about Aunty's demise. May her soul rest in peace. We are the blessed few who had an opportunity to meet her, spend time with her and enjoy her lovely cooking when in college days.
