I met this wonderful author on 8th April 2017, through my Facebook profile, when I saw one cover page having a novel pictures that looks very beautiful to me. The name of the novel-'My Mother, a tribute of a yearning son’ seems to me very sad and poi gent.  I can sense that the novel have very close memories of the author regarding some event. It was sad to read description of the novel at the amazon page.

 When we land up at the amazon page, we can read the novel description as:

Mother-a tribute of a yearning son- is a book based on true events spanning nearly a month, from the day the first symptom showed up in the author's mother till her last breath. The book narrates the several tests conducted, including biopsy, on his mother to diagnose her health condition as precisely as possible, and how the Doctors went ahead with a major surgical procedure called as 'Whipple's Technique'. The book further portrays how the post-surgery recovery did n't happen as expected and how the author's mother was then shifted to ICU, only to lead to gradual deterioration of her health. The doctor finally confirms a rare type of cancer called as 'Ampullary Carcinoma' due to malignant tumors in her Common Bile Duct (CBD). Inspite of putting up a brave and stiff fight against the cancer, she ultimately breathed her last on 18th February, 2016. This book does n't showcase only the tough battle of an ailing mother against the 'crawling crab', but also the unshakable determination of the Doctor to save his patient and not the least, the perseverance and the resilience of each and every family member to hold on to the faintest of hope till the end. The author has also given a detailed account of the mourning ritual followed in the part of India to which his family belonged. The poetry section of the book has numerous poems dedicated to the author's late Mother and all the mothers, both in human society and in all her forms.

 Author have penned down the event of post-surgery of his mother and shared with all of us to share his sadness. I totally console him and wish him that he can move ahead in life with more beautiful memories of his mother in his heart rest of his life.
