In loving and fond memory of my ’Mahi Aita’

Writing an obituary is a way to honour your loved one’s life as well as to announce their death. It can be a painful process, but it is a way to celebrate your loved one’s passions, achievements, and surviving family members.

Losing a loved one is never easy and there is not a single person in this world who wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven do not want to die to get there. But still death is the ultimate destition we all share. It is a curious thing, the death of a near and dear one. We all know that our time in this world is very short and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up again. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. When you were

born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.

As I write down today to write something with tears, pain, respect, love, affection and fondness for our beloved Mahi Aita who has left us with beautiful memories that are forever imprinted in our hearts.

Apart from being an exceptiol human being she was also a loving and caring person. Her greatest quality which I really admire is that she always used to speak good of others and do good to others.

During any festive occasions like Magh Bihu, Bohag Bihu, Durga Puja and also during my examitions she always used to bless me whenever I went to her home in rikal Basti to take her blessings. Because she was very fond of me, she always used to encourage me in everything that I do in life. She had a certain endearing quality about her which is unmatched and which can never be diminished. She was a kind–hearted person who always believed in giving love to others and because of this noble ture she was loved by everyone not only in her family but also everyone who used to come in contact with her. On 5th December, 2015 at around 9:35 am this noble soul left all of us in complete shock as she left her mortal coil and left for heavenly abode. I still cannot come to terms with her loss, and maybe I can never. Today on the day of her Addya Shradhwa on 15th January, 2015 I offer my heartfelt condolences and pray to the Almighty so that the departed soul may rest in peace.
