TRIBUTE

Nalini had a green hand in my garden development work, since she came here 9 years ago from Mumbai following the loss of her husband and earlier her only son also.    She had been also affected with a Mild stroke following her sons sad demise, but bravely carried on without a murmur or complaint. We admired her courage and inner strength. She had partially recovered from the stroke with physiotherapy and was mobile and independant.-She spent much time in Gardening.

Her passion was Gardening, Music and Children   

The April Lillies, select flower saplings, Sasambara (Karpooravalli)  Paan, Haldi (manjal) Paan  and some crotons –inc Tulasi & Kund she had gifted to many. more was added by her. The neighbouring flat watchman used to help her to dig and plant- .in his spare time and Nalini used to look after him generously. She had received a gift of 2 saplings from Anandashram, Kanhangad through my sister in law's Mother  -a Butterfly tree and a wild Jasmine , which was planted also recently in July. Growing nicely

Just 5 weeks ago in August, when she returned form Hospital she asked for a Pink Rose Sapling from the Green Plants seller who comes to our place-in his Auto Cart

Had it planted and was in bloom for some time.

In fact Bloomed so well –I have taken some pic of it –one is attached.

On 3^rd Sept. 20-11 the  final ceremony date of Vaikunta Samaradhan, we added 2 Rose plants and several Tulasi saplings.Also gifted a few to close family again.

FOR US: She Lives in the Flowers in our Garden.
