The Greats

The Greats

One of good family

Labour turns to become the loved

Rarely found in world

Of all the incidents and of all the persons that have come across my life, there was one great lady who had been a member of our big joint family. It seems she had joined as a maid when she was in her teens maybe my dad was little older to her who died at the age of 85 years, seven years back. She also lived for 75 years who died about 18 years back.

Her services of around 60 years are great and commendable, so naturally she had turned to be member of our family. She was loveable and strict too, she managed the family next to my Great Grandma. She was the favourite of all and my dearest. My Great Grandpa who made so many properties left one for her. Likewise there were men too who were of the same stature. My salutations to them.

Gone are the days of such persons. I don’t know if such persons were there only in an Indian set up. Maybe they are available all over the world even today. Here goes the statement ‘Love and you will be Loved’.  

I dedicate this Haiku to my beloved Gaurawwa and others who dedicated their lives for us.
