Suneeti
Interviewee: Suneeti Interviewer: Gauri
It's a great honor to write about my Mother-In-Law whom I refer to as Aai (meaning mother). Her name Suneeti which means a person with good moral character and wisdom really suits her. She is always there for anybody to help and guide in whatever way she can. There were many untimely deaths in her family including her father's and elder brother's, so she had to shoulder the financial responsibility among other things. She started working at very early age, guided the youngsters in the family to be successful in life and was a beacon of hope for all.
At her current age of 83 also she teaches Sanskrit to high school students, plays carrom with her friends, tries to be physically and mentally fit and is always ready to learn new things at every possible opportunity. She has taught me how to play Table-Tennis. My husband is a Hindustani Classical singer. She taught me how to play a musical instrument, so I could sit with him on the stage instead of just doing the back-stage work.
When I asked her about one good memory about herself, she found it hard to think about a single one since she has had numerous wonderful experiences. She promised to get back to me in 2 days. Since she is always interested in academics, she remembered an event from college. She took an exam with six other classmates. It was pretty difficult, so everybody was scared about the results. To make matters worse, somebody came to her house on the eve of the result announcement and reported that none of the candidates had passed the exam. She was really upset and broke into tears. Her father got mad at her and asked her to stay optimistic. The next day the results were out and lo and behold, she was the only one who passed with flying colors! She has cherished that memory ever since.
Aai is a great Role Model. She is a big support to our family. I wish her a very good, happy and healthy life. We all lover her very much.
