I have many maternal aunts, two of whom are surviving. The elder one, Manik Gokhale, will soon turn 90. She has been global in her outlook, like many of her sisters, and lived in Malta and Libya for some years. Has two daughters settled in Australia and Germany. Her son, my cousin, is in Pune, so we meet more often.
She is in the centre in this pic, while we were celebrating the 75th of my cousin, right, back to the camera. Other cousins (mine) are in the pic, and one cousin's husband.
Her 90th will be celebrated soon, in Pune where she lives.
