My beloved Bhauja (wife of journalist Barendrakrushna Dhal) just passed away in a private clinic at Bhubameswar.
I fail to describe the grief that has instantly engulfed me and my wife.
Do not know how to console Barendrakrushna, whom I call only’ Bhai’.
Those who know them, know how immensely deep was the oneness of the couple.
Before rushing for his house, I see my son Saswat clicking the FaceTime link.
(Baba, no time to talk with you now. You know what a loss is Sneha Bhauja’s demise to me.)
Dear friends, her name was Sneha and she was personification of Sneha (affection).
Tears, stop.
