Comments on: For Shama Futehally http://indianwriting.blogsome.com/2006/11/30/for-shama-futehally/ "That was the beginning of the century; this is its end. I have been thinking not only of the people who lived there once, but also of the generations of dogs accompanying them in their everyday bustle, and one night— I don't know where it came from— in a predawn sleep, that funny and tender phrase composed itself: a road-side dog." - Czeslaw Milosz, Borderlines.

From everything I had read about her, she seemed so warm and full of life, and it was one of those moments where you feel a pang of regret, knowing you will never meet that person. Her translations of Meera's songs, collected in <i>In the dark of the Heart</i> is one of my favourite books. I was shocked to hear of her death a couple of years back.
