Remembered as the owner of Café Samovar, at Jehangir Art
Gallery at the time it was closed last year, art patrons miss her more for the
strong, cheerful personality she had and that vibrated in the Samovar Café and
her music. Almost every day when she would be there for hours curiously taking
interest in visitors and conversing with them on vivid topics. Never airing her
ownership she had mush faith in her staff and the head who looked after the delicacies
and cuisines severed there. Satisfaction, be it at her Café or by listening to
her music was important. Art was her life and music her soul. India prides in
her talent as a third Indian woman music director and intelligent business
woman. She died a natural death on her way to hospital. She is survived by two
daughter and a son, who made names for themselves in their respective fields
like their mother. Her children did the last rites and cremated her in presence
of art patrons and film personalities.
