A Tribute to a Great Lady

My Assam wali Bhuaji Surjit Kaur (Sita Devi)

My first memories of her are from early 50s before her marriage. Her favorite friend was a girl from our neighbors on the north side. Both were about the same age and I still remember clearly how they used to play hide and seek around our houses and roof tops. Even then she spoke with a very soft low volume voice.
