Life can turn around in any direction.

Our elder Son's first vocal music teacher is a great singer herself. We still have her recordings and she has such as a melodious voice. She lost her husband early in her life but was blessed with two daughters. But, due to an unknown medical reason, she started loosing her eye-sight gradually. What I learnt in this trip is that she almost lost her eye-sight! It was disheartening to know this. I tried to find her and meet with her. Unfortunately (I say this as a normal human being with attachment to the earthly things), she renounced all her earthly desires and left home and joined an ashram and she is now known in that area as Maa Chinmayee. Her two daughters are being taken care of by her parents. She has a beautiful home, but preferred to join the ashram and serve people.
