Ajit Mausa's death 25 th December

Ajit Mausa(mother's cousin's husband) worked as a postman,everybody knew him well.He was quite social and spoke well,because of his short height he was always mistaken for a young boy when he got married in the early 90's.He did had a drinking problem and had recently brought down his alcohol intake.On 20th he had vomiting and concussions in his office then he went into a Coma.Doctors at PGI declared him dead on 25 Th Dec,his family brought him home in the morning where mourners thronged to pay their last respects.It was out of the blue for me,really unexpected for I had recently spoken with him on phone for his son Suraj's LIC Policy revival,he seemed fine then.I was present at his wedding and now attending his funeral really sad end,his son and daughter too young.

Ajit was married to our mother's cousin Abha in 1990.I was seldom allowed to attend weddings,this was the one I attended from morning itself at a guest house near K.K.C. .Their was a nasty dust-storm at noon,but thankfully it passed away quickly.Abha's hair had all turned to white at a young age,the beautician came and put dye into her hairs but she foolishly oiled her hairs soon after,somehow they managed up her hairs.When their was this "Jaimal" ceremony where bride and groom garland each other,Ajit being of short height barely could manage it and Abha had to put the garland somehow around her neck herself.It was funny when a bride took matters in her own hand and everybody laughed.Met Hemu our mama's son their who had recently seen "Bahar Aane Tak" movie and told me its whole story.Met Jagendra too their.Guddu my cousin and I and other people carried Rasgullas (sweet-meat) in big Bhagonas(utensils) to the place where Janvasa(Light Lunch) was being held for the Bridegroom and party.

Ajit was very friendly and quickly became the part of our greater family.He was at all the weddings and ceremonies.In my recent interactions with him over last three years I have found him an engrossing person to talk to who had a clear knowledge of topics he talked upon,and had a good understanding of of people in general.He did had a drinking problem till now though in last few months he had brought down his alcohol intake drastically.His death by brain-hemorrhage came as a shock as alcohol affects liver not brain,what goes on in different parts of your body you may never know.
