Connected through my sister. They both work at Bolangir as paramedical professionals and that's why close to me. 

The person in the middle is my contemporary and Guri Dei's son. Guri Dei a relation to my brother-in-law, after the death of her husband in relatively young age was a regular at my sister's place with her two kid sons.

Deepu- Shesha's son.
Sadasiv Swain

This boy is Tanu's son. He has always caught my fancy for disability. Right when he was a boy of 1 year age I asked his parents to take him to NIRTAR and he has undergone early stimulation and now doing reasonably well in integrated education system despite the cerebral palsy.
Sadasiv Swain

They are all my relations through my sister.

Naru,my bhanja's both daughters with a relation in middle.
Sadasiv Swain

She is my bhaniji but is my contemporary. We were friends in school and college. A simple soul, Nana and Sudhir had to postpone the marriage of their first daughter to 7th July (originally scheduled on 2nd July 06) as her father passed away on 15th June. Nana's daughter's marriage has been solemnised without problem. She was the closest to my brother-in-law and must have received his blessings from heaven.
Sadasiv Swain

Shesha is Adei Bhai's son and my Bhanja. He's seen here with his Bhanjas, one of them on his right with physical disability(cerebral palsy).
Sadasiv Swain

They are all married to my nieces and were invited to lunch by Shankar.In Shankar's back-yard full of banana trees, all look content after a sumptuous lunch.
Sadasiv Swain

Shankar with both sons and wife- our host for the late but eagerly-grasped lunch on the 11th day last rites for my brother-in-law.
Sadasiv Swain

Our custom doesn't allow us the people who observe the rites to have food on 11th day after the final rites are over immediately. It was 2.40 PM and we were all starving since the 10th day evening. The neighbour to my brother-in-law seen in vests along with his family had prepared food for us in his house. Shankar with his family.

My sister in gloom and distress sitting on verandah when the last rites were performed for her late husband.The woman standing near her has been a companion for many years and probably she ahares more of her feelings than any of us her close relations.
