WE TOAST!!!

Its often said that:" Its not what you take with you when you leave this world, that matters. Rather its what you leave behind when you leave, that matters..."   When we heard of her demise, yes we felt some bit of sadness but we were proud of her ; and this made us happy. Happy because of the life she had lived. She had made the women fraternity proud and dignified.In addition she had helped preserve our livelihood. So we will not mourn her death, we are saluting, we are toasting to her.

We are toasting to a life well lived. a life well kept... steps well thought of, plans well articulated, destiny well accomplished, legacy well build....

We toast to the undying devotion, the unending determination, endless commitment, continued stubbornness to fight for a deared cause....

we toast to a generous heart, selfless will, the amazing zeal, the immeasurable drive to give a better environment to an ignorant citizenry....

We toast to feminine brevity  in a world that seem to embrace masculinity more,a female academic, a female Member of Parliament, a female  Nobel Laurette...

We toast to to battles well fought, to dignity well retained, to targets well reached, to brains and conscious thinking....

Yes we toast to a Living Legend, to the unsung heroine, to the strong ladies who a stood for or standing for a Nobel cause.....

Even when we roll you to your grave, we will still toast in honor of your life, your achievements, and we will seek to to continue your good work... And for the last time we Toast!
