The festive light has gone out of the Mangeshkar household.
“Didi brought so much joy to Ganesh Chaturthi . Unka utsaah hum sabko utsahit karta ttha. Unke jaane ke baad woh baat nahin rahi,” says Lataji’s sister Ushaji as she recalls the many Ganesh Chaturthis with Lataji.
“Our home would wear a festive year for ten days. During the auspicious period, ours would be an open house . Relatives, friends and Didi’s colleagues from music industry would drop in any time . Didi would attend to each guest personally. Even strangers were welcome during Ganesh Chaturvedi. When we would object she would say, ‘This is the time when Ganesh Bhagwan visits our home. So the guests come to see Him.’ And now…”
Ushaji’s voice acquires a forlornness that we all feel in some form ever since Lataji left.
“Everything in our home Prabhu Kunj is the same.We haven’t touched her room. Not one of her possessions has been removed. We feel her presence all around us,” says Ushaji.
