Obituary: Pushpa Prabhu Durable Link to this BLOG
My aunt Pushpa Prabhu of Kumta passed away today in Bengaluru. People said she was as brilliant as her brothers Krishnanand (my dad) and Tulasidas --in memory power and arithmatic. But because she was a girl (in rural India), she was not offered much education and her brilliance came out in home-making. I have very fond memories of spending summers with her (even though she is my aunt, I called her Pushpakka or elder-sister, as was the norm). She had a great sense of "Kamat humor", she was a database of births, deaths, and anniversaries and was an enthusiastic match-maker.

She was a great cook like her mother. She was 72 and was in good health, and died of a massive heart attack. I have so many stories of her "arranging marriages" -- they will make for a good reading.

Goodbye Pushpakka. I had not finished with you -- you left us unexpectedly!
