Premila John, was our colleague at ASHIRVAD Child Development and Research Centre at Chennai from 1987, who moved with us to the Developmental Paediatrics Unit at CMC, Vellore when we initiated the department through a Memorandum of Understanding between ASHIRVAD and CMC in 1997. Premila continues in that department and lives her calling of service and friendships. It is Premila who represents the philosophy of ASHIRVAD at CMC.
Premila visited us in our home a few years back and we stay in touch.
This is one friendship we celebrate and are immensely grateful for.
Anna and I have pondered over this relationships because of its genuine and mutual quality.
The three things we find endearing in this relationship is trust, caring and regards.
All relationships need nurturing and attention! Often Premila takes the initiative to refresh the relationship.
Life is an ensemble of companions. Some fade away over a period of time and some others become dearer as we go along. This is the natural cycle in all relationships.
George and Mary, whom we used to know at Pune in 1976, sent us an invitation for the wedding of their children recently. George called us to invite us personally. It was George who taught me scooter riding in his own scooter on his own initiative.
Anna and I remember Premila, George and Mary at this season of Christmas because they make us feel loved and cared for!
