On that warm summer night, you left us all stunned and still. When the wind carried the truth to faraway corners, we all rushed to you to see your eyes beaming with so much warmth and hope. But you’ve gone beyond the vales, hills, and seas to the yonder sun. Your loving eyes now shine bright in the corners of our hearts. We will never let them dim in life, Jijida.
We all loved you greatly for your passion for life, work, fun, wit, and music. You built up your life from scratch, established yourself, and never craved anyone’s help. Never in a fuss over anything, your cool demeanor endeared everyone around. From Khagen Mahanta’s melodies echoing through your voice to the uproarious laughter evoked by your antics on the Jorhat Dhapkata Yajna Mandir stage, you left an indelible mark on all who witnessed your artistry.
On this day of remembrance, as we perform your Addyashraddha, our prayers ascend to Lord Shiva, beseeching him to bless your soul with eternal happiness.
