Well,
its been a year and 1month since I wrote.
So once again apologies.
I am sure, you guys dont even care of these apologies any more.
But this post is a tribute to our house maid Mangala who died today. She was servicing other homes in our Society and nearby buildings.
She must be in her early 40's
Is survived by 2 children (daughter ~ 18yrs, Son ~ 15yrs) and an Alcoholic husband.
She actually came to our house yesterday noon for routine dish washing.
She was complaining for past few days of feeling cold shivers, but no one knew Malaria could be so lethal.
Yesterday night she was rushed to hospital where they immediately had to keep her on ventilator.
She lost a lot of blood, Malaria (cold) had got to her brain.
She kept ignoring her body and so did we.
Infact when she didn't come for regular service yesterday night, we thought , she must have taken absence to visit her brother's in VIRAR.
And whilst my mom and wife bitterly washes the dishes, they kept blabbering about how irregular and irresponsible she was.
Only to realize today morning, she will never come back.
This post is to her.
Pls forgive us, we never treated you well when you were alive, but we now are sorry.
Such is life.
You never value what you have in hand and always chase the next, only to realize that when what you have is gone, it would be too late
Sorry once again Mangala.
I pray that god gives strength to your family to survive without you
Some food for thought
'Tis better to buy a small bouquet
And give to your friend this very day,
Than a bushel of roses white and red
To lay on his coffin after he's dead.

Present your family and friends with their eulogies now - they won't be able to hear how much you love them and appreciate them from inside the coffin. ~Anonymous
