End of A Legend

An average structure, an average face, an average Saari and an extraordinary person. ‘Miss’ Bhanja! We have made fun of her ever flowing aanchol and ever so wrong English all through the school years. It was Frances Sir who first corrected us by mentioning that for her, school and students are all that there is to life. “Miss” was a “Miss” and during the last few days, all she had were the students to cry for/after her. It saddened me for me more than her today, when she passed away after fighting breast cancer, stage last, which was discovered much too late. The troubles of being all alone with no one to look after you see?  However, the amount of dedication she had for all the students and Maths would forever be remembered and like all the memes and Bhanja jokes, she would remain immortal for all the Diocina’s who had the priviledge to know her. I wish I was in Kolkata to see her last time, one last time today. With that black square classes and semi grey hair. Rest In Peace. “Miss”
