Ma’s picture on her admit card; the card required for her high-school and college graduation exams.
After didi got married, baba encouraged ma to get back to her studies. Ma did something very few men or women do in India - she went back to school. She remained a full-time housewife; but got up a couple of hours earlier and gave up a few hours in the evening to study at home and prepare for the graduation exams.
Many many years later, when asked what the happiest moment of her life was, she said it was the joy of being able to answer all the questions for her exams.
