Sofia Begum Hazarika, lovingly called "Ma". I have never seen my Mom being hospitalized or being treated for any illness except diabetic for which she takes insulin doses on a regular basis. It was all normal and happy life. We would talk over phone regularly since i reside away from my native place. Whenever i would visit home, she would be overjoyed to cook my favourite delicacies. I was very fond of my Mom's food. On 8th November, my Mom called me up saying that she would need a new white sweater since it was getting bit cold at her place. But all of a sudden, on that very day, say after 5 hours, i got a news late night that my mother had an aneurysm stroke and is in coma. All of a sudden, i was shattered. The news was unexpected. Doctors declared, the chances are very thin. However, she managed to fight 15 odd days in hospital and breathed her last on 23rd November 2014. My Mom was gone. I dont know how to react to it now. Every moment now i feel, she would come now and would ask  "Kiba eta khabi ?" ( Will you eat something ?). Still my ears are waiting to hear those words. RIP Ma. ~ Maina ( Minhaz Hazarika)
