Eulogy - From a students heart

 

 Losing a mother is an incredibly painful experience, and I can only imagine what you’re going through right now. The bond between a mother and child is incredibly special, and I know this loss is profoundly difficult for you. I hope you find comfort in the beautiful memories you shared and the love that surrounds you. Geeta ma'am was such a remarkable person, full of kindness and love, and her memory will live on in all the lives she touched. 

The memories of her remain vivid for me. She always embodied her Bengali heritage with such grace, elegantly dressed in beautiful Bengali cotton sarees, accented by a big red bindi, red and white bangles, and a smile that lit up her face. Her pav bhaji and pudina rice were unparalleled; even after 24 years since leaving school, the taste remains unforgettable. Her teaching of Physics and Maths made her the best teacher I’ve ever had. Mrunal’s white lilies were a favorite of hers, and she loved using them to decorate her home. Her kitchen garden and her beautiful handwriting are other cherished memories. There are countless aspects of her life that will always remain as treasured memories with us.
