Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Some Pranks of the mad Chhota-Mami – 03
Radhu no doubt had affection for her mother, whom she called ‘the bald-headed mother’, because Chhota-Mami’s head was partially bald. Sometimes getting annoyed with the loving importunities of her mother, Radhu would burst out, “Away with you! Go and hang yourself!” The mad Mami would then go away shedding tears, but looking back all the while. When Radhu went to her husband’s place, this mother of hers, in the anguish of love for her absent daughter, often travelled on foot the distance of about three miles to her son-in-law’s place at Tajpur and returned to her home at Jayrambati the same day.
