About Kudy Mahanty ..... A TRIBUTE
On the 21st of June 1978, an exceptional little baby girl was
born to the Mahanty and Mukherjee families. A beautiful baby
with grey eyes and iridescent skin, many came to admire her
“just to see” until the hospital authorities had to impose the
embargo of “No Visitors”, enabling the mother and child to rest!
There was something very special about her from the very
beginning!
The 3rd March 1989 was a very dark day where little
Forever
by Debjani Biswas
The most beautiful baby in the world was born today
You would say that “you’re her aunt” …
you might say
But I never saw such a halo around a child
Angelic in nature, sunny tempered and mild
But as I called her baby, I looked around
Ten years had flown by on the wings of sound
And my baby was baby no more but a girl
Enchanting and enchanted as the oyster in life’s pearl.
Then suddenly she left us
Why where how No one knows
But in each one of us
Her light still brightly glows.
I cannot believe it I will never forget you
Neel my
But before it could happen, all of life they took away
Who decided the time had come no one can say
But even as I ask the eternal WHY
Remember our memories will never die
A chubby hand holding a big “mummy’s bag” high
Identifying at 2 every plane in the sky
Chips in the open air movie together
Swimming “a whole breadth” in warm sunny weather
Doing well in school but never proud
Was this the little baby who said “gwee” aloud?
Making so many things for her baby brother
Babysitting as carefully as a little mother
I can go on and on and I do - inside deep
As all of us do
And will do and will forever do
And thus within us we will always you keep.

1978 - 1989 Memories
by Aditi Krishnakumar
Horizontal, face up,
gleam of many colours
Square pieces of living, edged in white
Evoking heartbeats,
glances naughty,
leaping joy
Of thigns we once shared, now over.
Come out to me child!
Fill out my folded arms,
embracing,
Absorbing father/motherhood,
just once more,
From your softly pulsing
Essence,
Nevermore!
It’s only a photograph.

WHISPERING HOPE
Kudy's favourite song 'gospel'
Soft as the voice of an angel,
Breathing a lesson unheard,
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word:
Wait till the darkness is over,
Wait till the tempest is done,
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
After the shower is gone.
Whispering hope, oh how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
If, in the dusk of the twilight,
Dim be the region afar,
Will not the deepening darkness
Brighten the glimmering star?
Then when the night is upon us,
Why should the heart sink away?
When the dark midnight is over,
Watch for the breaking of day.
Whispering hope, oh how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
Hope, as an anchor so steadfast,
Rends the dark veil for the soul,
Whither the Master has entered,
Robbing the grave of its goal.
Come then, O come, glad fruition,
Come to my sad weary heart;
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory,
Never, O never depart.
Whispering hope, oh how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
FROM KUDY
by Vatsala Upadhyay
One day God came to me and said
The love in your heart is what I want you to spread
I want to send you on a journey of life
It will be a short one but you will thrive
But then you are such a beautiful soul
I need the best parents for you to fill the role
Me:
But why would you make them suffer in vain?
How terrible it would be to give them such pain
Why would you do this to the best
Why would you put them through this test?
God gave me the knowing smile
For me to comprehend it took a while
Do you see only the pain
Don't you understand what's in there to gain?
You are such a divine soul
The lives you touch will be complete and whole
And thus I traveled all this far
To be born to the couple N & R
Life was never the same again
The happiness we shared was hard to contain
The bonding grew so strong each day
That when it came time to take me away
I refused to leave them and go
Indignantly I shook my head in a firm 'No'
And so God could only take my body away
My soul had absolutely decided to stay
Since then I've become a part
I stay on in their heart .....
