I am greeted at the door by Buddy. It's our old home in Beleghata. I ask him how he is and I hold him tight, feel his body, if he is growing. Then he takes me to Sreelata who has had an operation and is recovering. There are other people in the room. I expected her to be fine and speaking but she wasn't. She was lying on the bed and speaking through some device with great effort. I couldn't make out what she said in a mechanical voice, it was so distressing. I was filled with a deep sorrow and wondered how she will recover from this, if at all. I blamed myself for this.
