My Diary

My erstwhile feminist daughter has now turned over a new leaf. Well, this is solely my personal view when I read her mail that she has finally decided to change her last name after marriage. She said, “Momma, I think it is a silly issue debating whether to retain one’s maiden name or not to. After all, like a rose you call me by any name I will be just as sweet!”

I wonder if Bard would have approved of her comparisons. But I would rather worry about her running to and forth the passport office in Kolkata where she is currently than fancying about Bard. However, getting your name and address changed in passport is no longer a big task. You can apply online and then just submit the necessary documents either in person or by speed post.

I was thinking of a girl who after getting married was to settle abroad. I wondered if she after moving out of India were to get her name changed what she would do. Well, there wouldn’t be a need to fly back home thanks to Sahara Care House. All that a person needs to do in order to get changes (such as name after marriage) is get in touch with Sahara Care House and hand them the copies of relevant documents and the processing fee to be submitted at the passport office. For a small service charge they will facilitate the whole process and you will have your passport with your new name!
Ah, but your passport will (I hope) smell as sweet!

It is during old age that parents need their children the most. However, more often than not they are left on their own to struggle with diseases and frailty that comes along with age. Sometimes children actually abandon their parents and at other times they hardly have a choice. I realize this well because when R and I left India, we did not want to get away from our family. It is just that sometimes we are left with no choices.

Having settled in the UK for more than two decades, I know how an NRI worries about home. In our days we did not have as much facilities that we have now. We did not have those weekly video chats or voice chats. We simply dropped in letters and waited patiently for replies all the while brooding over if all was fine back home.

However, times have changed. Sahara Care House is indeed a Care House, true to its name. It offers a bouquet of services for NRIs which ensures that their dear ones in India are well taken care of. Be it their health check ups or looking into legal matters or buying a property!

Thank you Sahara Care House for taking away the guilt pangs and helping us take care of our family!
