'Anju had to shoulder the responsibility at a very young age'
There was this letter which Nargisji had written to Namrata where she mentioned that Namrata had run into bad company and needed to be controlled.
Yes. Mom was ill at that time and had written that letter to Anju (Namrata) when she was leaving for New York for her treatment.
She instructed Anju to take care of me as she is the eldest. After mom died, Anju had to shoulder the responsibility at a very young age.
But she handled everything beautifully. She took great care of us.
