My father's death anniversary

According to the English calender, today is the death anniversary of my beloved father. Hindus all over the world observe death anniversaries according to the Hindu Calender.  According to the Hindu Calender, my father's death anniversary comes on 10th of this month. Like most Hindus, on this day I and my brother will perform death anniversary ritual in our traditional manner.

My father was a workaholic headmaster (of Government Higher Secondary Schools). I fondly remember him. I have written about him in many of my earlier posts.


Like many good mothers of that era, my beloved mother gave all the support and affection that a dutiful wife can give, to my father, sharing all odds and evens with him. I fondly remember her also.
