Amma no more

Indira R Swamy, my mother, passed away on January 6, in Mumbai.

She had taught English, first at Kanakapura near Bangalore, then and Amravati in Maharasthra, and finally at National College, Jayanagar, again in Bangalore.

She was always gentle and cheerful, and I had assumed she would always be around.

She has departed, after battling cancer courageously, and we must learn to accept her absence.
