Farewell, Aaji
May 28th, 2009

On Tuesday, my mother-in-law passed away peacefully. Her children and siblings were by her side to bid farewell. She was a loving mother and grandmother and will be truly missed by all of us. She lived a full, happy life and was very proud of the achievements of her daughter and son. She had a passion for cricket and she was a master of Maharashtrian cuisine. It is very fitting that she was watching a Indian Premier League match on TV and eating modaks that she made herself, when she suffered sub-arachnoid hemorrhage that took her life.
I hope that we have absorbed some of her wisdom and cooking skills. May she rest in peace.

My condolences to V and you. She sounds like a typical Aaji. She reminds me of my “mothi-aai,” who passed away in 2004 and we reminisce about her eccentricities and food.
