I remember Shukla fua as someone that was kind, gentle and with a lovely laugh. Sometimes she was laughing with me but other times at me. She was a store of the family history and remembered everyone's birthday. She's the person that reminded me most of Aaiji.
When I was young I grew up with her kids. I wanted to be like my older cousins. A memory that sticks in my mind is making puri with her and Jack fufa. Fufa and I rolled the puri and she would fry it. I could never get the puri perfectly round. It tasted beautiful just out of the pan. I didn't want to wait for the curry to eat it with. She and fufa also took me to see the giant squid and the earthquake house. I got the proper Wellington experience.
Fua loved her family. She and fufa made the trip over from New Zealand to meet Dhillon not long after he was born. They spoilt him with cuddles, play and plenty of attention. I'm grateful that Dhillon got to meet her. She never forgot his or Sophia's birthday. I'll try to remember to be as kind as fua was.
