Sushmita Banerji 1954—2010

from Sister Janet ( Sushmita's teacher at Sophia School- Jaipur)


It was with great shock and heavy heart I received the sad news of our dear Sushmita's  sudden passing away from this world. But it consoles me to think that Death is not an end of one's life, but beginning of a New Life.
God gave me a chance through Sr. Mariola to meet Sushmita at her Sister Deepali's residence  in the second week of  March, this year. We met each other after 29 long years and our joy knew no bounds.
This was a short visit and Sushmita  told me that she would come in July to Ajmer and we would have a long chat. Little did I know that this short visit after 29 years would be the last one.
Sushmita was a smart and promising girl in the School with a lot os initiative in her. She had a magnetic personality and capturing smile. No wonder then she had many friends. She excelled in English debate and often carried the Trophies.
As the years went by, she did a lot  for womens' upliftment and development.
May the Almighty God grant her a special place in heaven.
" Death is not extinguishing the light , it is only putting out the lamp because the Dawn has come". (R. Tagore).
 
With sweet memories,
Sister Janet.
Ajmer.
