Kunda was a family friend whom I met when I came to Canada in 1997. More than family friend she was like an older sister (tai) and mentor for me. I worked closely with Kunda tai because of Marathi language school. Marathi school was her brain child and she was very passionate about starting this school. She acted as a community advisor and made sure that all the formalities are completed. IN the beginning, she helped us with lesson plans and taught us how to attract and retain kids. Both Kunda and Dilip were present at every Marathi school function and encouraged kids. Kunda tai also wrote and directed plays for Marathi school kids and made sure that every kid has a role to play in it. Marathi school was started in 2003 and it has been running for last 20 year. Credit goes to Kunda tai. She had a vibrant personality, a witty sense of humour, and a positive outlook. There was so much to learn form her. Marathi community was fortunate to have Kunda tai. We will miss her dearly.
