The present Head Of Our Clan is my cousin Damodaran who will be familiar to my readers as the cousin who I visit regularly in New Bombay. His wife Asha is a particular favourite of mine, as she says I am to her too. (Bhabi in Hindi means wife of elder brother.)
She retired from the Atomic Energy Commission as a Medical officer a few years ago and since then has been in the forefront for a social work organisation in and around New Bombay.
There is a wonderful article about her in the DNA of the 12th October which gives a reasonably good picture of what she does.
It gives me great pleasure to post about her achievements and as you can see, I am obviously very proud of her.
Too small a person!.A small link in a huge network of dedicated seva dals, without whose help, we can achieve nothing.And ofcourse THE GOD who inspires,gives energy, projects and guidance!
Okay, for larger than life figures like your husband and ahem, me, you are a delightful counterpoint.
You come from a very accomplished family Rummy. Your cousin Damodaran must also be very proud of his wife, Asha.

Yes Maxi, a bunch of over achievers because we came from what we call here lower middle class backgrounds and education was the only gift that our parents gave us.
Hi Rummy,
You are such a cute cousin. Your Bhabi must be proud of you 🙂
It is good to know that my family is not the only one with a hierarchical system.
Cheers

Strange. I always thought it was bhabhi. Not bhabi.
Lucknowis insist on being different. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090510180145AAAoIuv
Ah yes. But I’m a Dubliner.

Thank you. She is a very special person for our entire clan. She did more within the family than what she has been doing as social service.
