‘Amma’ is no more. She passed away around 11 pm on June 20. For the past few years, she had been ill, suffering from memory loss and dementia. This was strange for a strong-willed woman whose level of activity was higher than usual, both physically and mentally. Due to dementia, my mother was bedridden in her last few years, despite being physically healthy. She was not able to remember anything due to dementia and even used to forget to eat food.

Upon waking up on Friday morning, I glanced at the complete list of the Padma awardees. Recognisable names such as Dr Tejas Patel and journalist Kundan Vyas appeared in the Padma Bhushan list. The name of Bihar’s Bindeshwar Pathak, who has been posthumously awarded the Padma Vibhushan, also caught my eye. I remember meeting him several times during my extended stay in Gujarat. Despite his deteriorating health, he participated in a Network18 programme related to cleanliness at my request.
