Sharda Sinha’s Facebook post from a week after husband Brajkishore Sinha’s death goes viral: ‘Mai jald hi aaungi’

“He would then find an excuse to eat junk, which was not appropriate for his health. I would often ask my children to not serve him the breakfast he has got, knowing he must have already eaten it outside. At first, he would deny, but when I would look at him with seriousness, he would admit that he has eaten the junk food already. This was every year’s ritual”, recalled Sharda Sinha.

Sharing her last meeting with her husband on September 17, a few days before his passing, Sharda recalled, “I met him for the last time on the evening of September 17. Before leaving, I told him, ‘I will return in three days, please take care of yourself’. He said, ‘I will be absolutely fine. You stay healthy, and do return soon. He was looking at me the whole time. Who knew this was our last meeting.”

She added, “I still feel his presence. My kids, Vandana and Anshuman, still feel that their father is just out for some work and would return soon. This is a picture from our last meeting. The silence and his absence is killing me. In the picture, you can see him teary eyes with his granddaughter and I am assuring him, ‘I will come to you soon.’ ‘Mai jald hi aaungi, maine bas yehi kaha tha unse.'”

Almost five weeks later, Sharda Sinha breathed her last. She will be laid to rest with full state of honours in Patna. Her last rites will take place at the same place where her husband Brajkishore Sinha’s last rites were held.
