Her visit to our place

She was obviously a very dynamic human-being and many have testified to her achievements and contributions in various sphere. I would like to narrate a small incident which has remained locked in my memory as it defines her humanity. She came to our house for a brief time as her commitments did not allow a prolonged stay during her London visit. What I remember most distinctly is that when she was leaving, her eyes caught some beautiful flower in our garden which happened to be in full bloom. She graciously acknowledged its beauty but then spent some considerable time explaining her passion for gardening. Her busy schedule was forgotten and she enriched those moments with her love for beauty. It remains a fragrant memory of passion for life and beauty. Its the ability to find something momentous in something noticed in passing which defines great human beings. She was! Rajeev Trikha
