He is the only reason my mom evolved into a great cook and it in turn inspired me. He used to give a lot of encouragement to mom. Even if a dish goes bad, he never complained about it. He was also interested in baking bread. He used to experiment a lot about bread baking and we have enjoyed the breads he made many days. When mom was into cake baking, he was the one who decorated the cake. He used a large disposable syringe to write down the birthday messages at the time we were unaware of the piping nozzles. I could go on writing about him, but let us move back to the recipe.
Before 2 weeks, I got a call from him. He wanted me to experiment with rasgolla. Instead of using sugar syrup, his idea was to use jaggery syrup to cook the rasgollas. He also wanted me to bring it to Coimbatore for tasting. So I made them and took them to Coimbatore. By the time he was so weak and couldn’t talk. But still he tasted them and gave a nod that it was good. Then I returned back to Madurai. Then after two days, my brother called me that dad wanted to see me. Fortunately, I happened to be with him during his last minutes. I hope he joined my mom and they are happy together.

NO words to offer solace. It has been the most difficult year of your life, and I admire your strength and courage to persist, to fight difficult times and come through. Please feel reassured that when our parents leave this world, they become more free to help and protect us as angles. I am sure they are watching over you and your family now.
