This is a tribute to my older maternal cousin Unni’s wife Sarada. Their family lived not far from my home. They have two daughters Sujatha and Sangeeta. Being one year older than Sujatha, we both literally spent a large part of our childhood and school vacations together. To me, Saradachechi is and has always been a person who has been extremely kind & humble. She however possesses amazing qualities that I’m sure everyone who meets her notices.
