The World of Raju Sharma

Winters. Ah! Wonderful. Its so chilly out here in Delhi. There is fog, overcast sky and mild sun shine that makes all of us shiver down to our spine. Driving in Delhi roads is crazy particularly when you can't see anything. A cup of gingered hot tea served with a dash of smile brings warmth instantly in the room. During these chilly winter, terrorist affected, bankrupt days be sure to spread smile ... Thats the only one that can be solace to all of us........................... Cheers

Ma is dead. Ma, my mother was 56 or 57. She is dead We could not save her. Rather the docs in Guwhati could not save her. She suffered from brain hemmorage and her last 20 days or so was very painful in the ICU. She died on 15 of Nov 2008 at about 8.30 pm. I reached Guwahati in the evening of 30th Oct 2008 and upon reaching GNRC-the hospital where Ma was admitted , hugged her lightly. I assumed that within a few days she would be out of the ICU and join me back in Delhi. For the next two weeks Kaju, Sangeeta and myself kept our prayers and hope alive. We would take turns to go near her, feed her and speak to her. It was not a pleasureable experience to speak to Ma, with her heavy pain in the head. Her enitre body had paled and swollen because of the numeorus injections that docs cluelessly gave to control what they felt was herpes encepthalatis. Gradually her vital organs started failing, beginning with her limbs, eyes etc. She started dying... She breathed her last at the Medical Col
