Kochuthresiamma Joseph was one of the reasons for me to arrive at this conclusion. <br /><br />Thanks, Anil, for your comments. I strongly differ with you regarding the merits of KTJ's opinions and judgments, although I myself disagreed with her at times. The difference between you and me on this only points to the axiomatic truth that everyone has, and has the right to have, their own views and opinions. As long as we respect others' honest opinions, it's fine.Santanu Sinha Chaudhurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062744470522359652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-39266946705300151722011-11-13T16:33:58.305+05:302011-11-13T16:33:58.305+05:30She has been silent for sometime.

I did not notice any post from her in the recent months. <br />There has never been a point of statement in her blog, more often than not, when I could agree with her. <br />Her comprehension of matters and . judgement , I feel was quite conservative,and sometimes unreasonable- perhaps even biased, I felt, I guess. Hence the disagreement!<br /><br />Her eloquence was excellent , simple and plain .<br />The brief acquaintance and slinging in the Blog gave me a fair idea about the person, though I have never met her.<br />If there is something called soul let her's RIPanilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-56804398007057916762011-11-12T22:07:37.542+05:302011-11-12T22:07:37.542+05:30Santanu, I just can't believe you have never m...Santanu, I just can't believe you have never met Molly. This is because, she seemed to reciprocate your feelings about her. She told me, she was a fan of your writings and was a regular visitor to your blogspot. She and Joseph Mathew visited us at Trivandrum, just before they relocated to Ernakulam. We did then discuss about your writings and work and she borrowed from me, the book "Who says you cant't learn English", which you authored. The way she was speaking, she seemed to know you quite well. That was her sincerity and warmth.<br /> <br />Along with me, my wife Molly, our children and their spouses will certainly miss a true family friend and a well-wisher of our family.George Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-12670638904661874302011-11-11T11:22:18.038+05:302011-11-11T11:22:18.038+05:30Yes, many of us are going to miss her...after we m...Yes, many of us are going to miss her...after we met the last time in May (never dreamt it would be the final parting) she wrote, 'It's a pity that we did not have such meetings all these years..' This very moment when she Rests in Peace and all of us are in prayer before she returns to Mother Earth, we remember her inner strength and ability to connect with every person she met. We are blessed to have known her.Bhawaninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-89006764846073368632011-11-11T10:23:37.550+05:302011-11-11T10:23:37.550+05:30KTJ has been very nicely portrayed by you...Mother...KTJ has been very nicely portrayed by you...Mother Earth has surely lost a wonderful and very talented daughter...may her soul rest in peace...Anirban Dasguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04847011686718409552noreply@blogger.com
