She was there when I was born.
A young, energetic research student, Brinda & her brother Vidya (both in pic) were my first childhood buddies
My relationship with Brinda only grew stronger with the passage of time despite the huge political-religious divide

Brinda was a key member of #AIDWA (♀️'s wing of #CPIM) She poured her energy in protecting & caring for the abused & battered
One of the few in that party who stood for the victim irrespective of their gender.
A rare gem, who did not carry the ubiquitous hate the others possessed

She was an org builder focused on doing what was required for any situation. She carried no personal hate or dislike. Haven't seen a more positive person than her. Even when handling the most horrific& heart breaking rape cases she knew how to help the victim stay positive
She was much neglected by the org but it never mattered to her. I remember she always used to say that she looked at those below her& knew that she had to do what was needed coz she spelt hope for them. She survived cancer beating it in style. She braved many personal challenges
She truly lit up a room with her presence & energy. Even when we disagreed ideologically the love stayed undiminished. She brought joy to me whenever I met her. I fondly called her gundamma (don't recollect her being fat) - no auntie/akka... That silent moral support
Honestly never imagined there would come a day she wouldn't be around. She breathed her last today after struggling with an unidentified lung condition for 3 weeks. (It was assumed cancer had recurred but the biopsy was negative)
This evening after things got worse

With influence my dad & other friends got her a bed in a better hospital. (Why didn't they do it sooner 😭) She passed away minutes after admission.
Her funeral would have easily seen over a 1000 but now she will go without any of us bidding her good bye.

She was a beautiful life Pragmatic, sincere, compassionate and selfless. Never believed she wouldn't return. Taking to this inane place to mourn her loss Something I couldn't do with those of us who were touched by her beautiful presence
#Death the only thing certain in our lives
