Story of a killer nine yard sari!

Dear PS,

Your ending left me misty-eyed. The loss of a dear one at such a young age and so cruelly must be extremely tough to deal with. I can imagine your pain since you did not see your sister alive after she moved away to another town.

You are a strong person to have faced such tragic incidents in life and yet keep your sunny side alive! Kudos to your spirit!

Dear Pushpa Ma'am,

This is a very tragic incident. My husband's SIL also went through a similar incident. After battling with months of treatment, she survived. She has scars all over except her face. My MIL would talk of the incident and say that the flames could be seen even in the neighbouring homes.

Young girls who work in the kitchen should note that the dupatta is not a necessary piece for the kitchen. Dupattas are not only easily inflammable, but can also cause chocking hazards.

 

Dear Pushpavalli,

What can i say? My throat is choked iwth tears once i realised it was a true story and it was your sister. I was dreading as i was reaching the end that it would be a true story. I am sorry for your sister's demise in this cruel way. I was also quite worried abt the children of such young age. But i am quite glad to know they are in a good position now.

Take care,
JJ

 

Dear PS,

It was such a shocking story and to know that the victim was your own sister is devastating.

I thought the 'killer' in the title was an adjective for 'super', but to know it really killed your sister is terrible. Though I love nine yard sari, I wouldn't be surprised, if you hate it.

Above all, your spirit to take such terrible events in your stride and narrate them to encourage people going through such trauma is absolutely adorable. Hats off to you...!

Dear Pushpavalli Srinivasan

I was shocked to read this.

It is terrible the way your sister lost her life. She seemed like a lady full of life and energy and I am sure her loss was not easy on anyone, esp her five small children, husband and the rest of the family.
Like many here have said, you seem to have gone through some harrowing experiences.
Well, the only consolation was to know that her children are all doing well now.
