She brought distinction and glory to our house. We are forever indebted to her and her sangh-samarpit family that gave her these 'Sanskars'. My mother suffered the agony of Cancer for nearly two years. She died saying "Dhanya ho tumhein janane wali ka......Tum Rani ki jayi ho.'/2

My mother was bedridden for two years in 1992-93. She could not even walk to the toilet. I was in Mizoram. Sushma Swaraj, the Supreme Court lawyer, three times Cabinet Minister and a sitting Member of Parliament looked after her round the clock for two long years./3

We celebrate this day of your auspicious arrival. You were the youngest Cabinet Minister at 25. I was the youngest Governor at 37. We were both MPs in Rajya Sabha together. Then you were in Lok Sabha and I was in RS at the same time. We mourn because you are not around./6
