    She came like a flash to IL three years ago, under the nom de plume Twinsmom fired off aheady cocktail of erudition and humor in a series of threads winning at least three best post awards and in about an year disappeared. Vijayasaraswathy aka Verboseviju aka Twinsmom is no more. She expired few days ago in Bangalore.

    Viju was battling breast cancer for the last two years. Everyone thought that it was under check after a series of treatments. But during a visit to her son in US to visit her twin sons the malignancy showed up again and it was discovered that it had spread to other parts of the body.

    She underwent couple of sessions of chemotherapy there ,. On her return to INdia she suffered a fall, developed a clot, and had to undergo a surgery from which she never really recovered ane expired last week.

    A Tamil from Kerala, who made Karnataka her home, Viju was proficient in the languages of all the three states. besides having a terrific command over English

    She could hold you spellbound on any subject, totally trivial or weighty as her threads here will testify. Her subjects ranged from women's obssessions with shoes to perils of giving gifts to tributes to libraries by the bookworm she was. Viju was a voracious reader on several subjects . She could seriously explore the differences between Kannada dialects as spoken in her home region of Bhadravathy and Bangalore and at the same time dash off a blog that could have you rolling off your seats and give you a bellyache.

    This is one of those rare times I regret that I don't believe in souls or prayers. If you do, please pray for her soul to rest in peace.

    Balajee,

    Really sorry to read this, thank you for bringing this to our notice in IL.

    Twinsmom was one of the nicer parts of IL. She could bring her touch to bear on anything she wrote. I loved all about that fiesty lady, from her like for the series Prisonbreak, to her rare pieces on Trivandrum.

    Since she was also from TVM, and we both haunted the same places (albeit at different times), I held a special affection for her. Everything about her was direct and honest. From the unsolicited raves and replies she got for her posts in IL, to writing about her abacus classes, she was one classy lady.

    Will miss her. Heaven is going to be a much more mirthful place with her around-------
