15,16 and 17th Oct

15th
Dinesh expired at 11.30 pm, holding hands of Gillo. We rushed to them in the hospital. Doctors struggled to resuscitate him in the ICU but did not succeed. He was declared dead. We saw him studded with a number of wires/pipes lying helpless with head tilting on left, quiet. A few moments back he was shouting and struggling to breath but no longer now. We had given Gillo in marriage to him about 25 years back. He is gone leaving Gillo and daughter. Both are mentally strong to take care. She would get a pension from CCI, a PSU, and interests from her late husband's FDRs to carry on. She has a beautifully kept comfortable house of her own. Her 24 year daughter may take up a job soon. She could not join a job due to sickness of her father. She had to help mother in taking care of him who had to go for  dialysis thrice a week. She is a graduate  from St, Xavier's college Mumbai and has completed  a course on journalism. She is composed, well mannered and has a pleasant personality. Will do good in life, we hope.
16th
Dinesh was cremated today in gas crematorium, about 5 km from Kharghar at Panvel. Priya, his daughter switched on gas chamber to consign her father's mortal remains to Agni Dev.. We were told to come by 5 pm to collect ashes. Priya and her friend collected ashes in the evening.
17th
We spent time with Gillo.
