Nearly three months back I had mentioned that my cousin (my maternal aunt's son) Shreedhar was recovering from an illness after discharge from the hospital. Nearly two months back, he passed away. I fondly remember him.

Indian pride at the Commonwealth Games 2018

It was nice to know that sportsmen and women from our country brought laurels to our country at a far higher level than ever before in the recent  Commonwealth Games held in Australia. I think that our Prime Minister and his team needs to be thanked for all the encouragement and facilities accorded to deserving people from all walks of life. 
In the past few weeks many religious and historically important events such as Hanumad Jayanthi, Veda Vyaasa JayanthiNaraSimha Jayanthi, Parasuraama Jayanthi and the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr took place. I'll write about these in my future posts whenever I find time. Along with the above mentioned, at a closer level, Sudha Mohan, my maternal aunt's daughter passed away. I fondly remember. Hope her husband Mohan and daughters Aruna and Aparna bear the circumstance. Sudha's brother Shreedhar, who lives in Vijaya Nagaram, was admitted in the hospital and discharged; I am told by his daughter that he is recovering. The period also marked one year since my beloved mother passed away. I fondly remember her.
