A poem from her friend Sarik
A Teacher of Eloquence, a Beacon of Light,
From Alvas, Roshni Nilaya to Aloysius’ height.
Her words, a symphony, a masterful art,
Commanding language, touching each heart.
Her writings flowed, poetic and true,
She felt others’ pain and compassion she drew.
With laughter and joy, she lit up the air,
Spreading happiness, beyond compare.
With a heavy heart, I mourn the loss,
A friend so dear, whose path I crossed.
Yet in our memories, she’ll always stay,
A guiding presence, never far away.
May her soul rest in peace 🕊️
Known her from my college days and she was one of my favourite lecturer.
