Re: Mamta Jawdekar passes away

[Guest guest]

our condolences to the family. we always held her as an example of fortitude

and strength as juniors. every time we were on the terrace and someone sat

on the ledge her story would be reiterated and we used to be told how

dangerous it is to sit on the ledge. Was she well or ill towards the end as

she was too young to die.

Mamta Jawdekar passes away

Dear all,

Mamta Jawdekar (batch of 1977) passed away yesterday in Akola. Sandeep Jeste

(1977) sahred with me this sad news this morning. Suchitra Pandit (1976)

came down to Akola, where Mamata lived and practiced pathology for over two

decades, to attend her last rites.

Mamta, as we all know, was confined to a wheel chair since 1980 following an

accident induced paraplegia. In spite of her disability, she did MD

(Pathology) from MGIMS and had settled down in Akola. The last I met her

was in the 1976 batch reunion, when she came all the way from Akola to meet

her batchmates and teachers. Fiercely independent, she accepted her

disability , fought with great grit and determination and ensured that she

lived an independent professional and personal life.

We salute you, Mamta.

far too junior to have interacted with her, i do remember being inspired during

my MGIMS days that someone on a wheelchair could complete her PG and practise

thereafter..

Sir,

It is sad indeed to hear of the demise of one whose spirit triumphed against

all odds.We from the 78 batch happened to be there when she had had the

unfortunate accident.The memory of her lying there that evening is still

vivid.Hers is a story I often told my children-of a girl who refused to give

up.I only wish I could have said this to her and not to her memory.May she rest

in peace and live on in our memory as an example of an indomitable spirit.

As I read SP Sir's chilling words, my mind went numb. I had just sent

some non-serious mails, before reading SP Sir's sad news: Mamta was no

more! I closed the computer and sat still. My mind went back to oh so

long ago, to 1976.

I was a senior connected to Marathi drama, so I was always interested

in new Marathi speaking girls. There were always plenty of boys

willing and able to act, but good girls were always far and few in

between! The previous year's crop had been a huge disappointment, so I

was keenly awaiting the new batch of 1976.

And boy, what a batch! It was just exploding with dramatic talent like

Kaustubha Patil with his whimsical style. Mrudul Panditrao, with his

down to earth acting. Ashok Mehendale (who is still at MGIMS) with his

deep sober voice. Aruna Mutha (Wardha) with her live wire act. But the

girl who stood out amongst all this talented lot was Mamta Jawdekar!

Her very first role was in " Katha Dinu chya Mrutyu patrachi " . She

acted as a very strict mother-in-law. Usually girls are very reluctant

to act as mothers-in-law, but Mamta had no such qualms! Anyone seeing

her on stage would have found it hard to believe that she was just a

first year student. What confidence! She just lived the role. In fact,

even after she removed her make-up we used to be afraid to talk to

her, as her strict mother-in-law persona lingered on! But in actual

fact, Mamta was a very jovial girl. In fact, I frequently told her

that " Mamta, tu bembichya detha pasun hastes! " (Mamta, you do laugh

from the bottom of your heart!)

Besides drama, Mamta excelled in studies. She was always amongst the

top few academically. On that fateful day, Mamta was lying on the edge

of the terrace above the Warden's quarters (facing the road.). She was

with her friends listening to jokes and just conversing. It was 7 or 8

in the evening. No one knows exactly why she turned the wrong way

while getting up. In front of her friends' shocked eyes she just

plummeted downwards.

Madhukant ('75), an Orthopaedic resident was talking with his girl

friend Anita (later wife) just near the hostel gate. He rushed to her

side. Being in Ortho, he immediately advised her not to try to move,

as the spine may have been damaged. Little did he know that the harm

had already been done. A stiff trolley was rushed to the spot and

Mamta was carried carefully away.

The initial evaluation was not at all encouraging, still an urgent

decompression surgery was planned. Privately, Madhukant had already

told us that there were no movements of her toes, but we all kept our

fingers crossed. Orthopaedic surgeons were rushed over from Nagpur to

supplement our own team of experts.

It took weeks, for what everybody already knew, to be publicly

acknowledged. Mamta would never walk on her own feet again! Sevagram's

Marathi drama was never the same again.

Gautam of 1978 batch financed a motorized wheel chair for Mamta, and

soon a wheel chair bound Mamta was a familiar sight in Sevagram.

Despite this sudden and devastatingly unfair end to active life, Mamta

could always be seen with her trade mark radiant smile! Oh! How it

tugged at everybody's heart strings. Watching her smile made you wince

at God's unjust ways.

As expected, Mamta graduated with top of her batch marks. Her physical

disability restricted her PG choices, so by default, Pathology

benefited by a jovial and radiant soul, always ready to share a joke.

Always ready to help.

I lost contact after I left Sevagram. But whenever I met people from

around Akola, Mamta was always discussed. Everyone kept saying that

Mamta still has her trade mark smile. What grit!

Oh what a loss! People like these make you wonder if there is really

justice in God's world! Goodbye Mamta. Carry your smile to heaven. Now

even heaven will be a better place.

Dear SP sir,

It is indeed a sad news. We have seen Mamtas grit

and fighting spirit.

Infact we were some how on the boys hostel terrace A block and Mamta and some

other friends including Rekha Oberoi were on the Girls hostel terrace and

chatting. I think mamta was sleeping on the wall and turned around and got up on

the wrong side. We heard people saying Mamta padli in marathi and we got the

feeling some girls tried to hold her but could not and she feel with a loud thud

and got injured with the parapet separating the ground and first floor. This was

a serious spinal cord injury. I remember Dr.Belsare was there with Dr. Madhukant

and others. But nothing much happened and she had had a major spinal cord

injury. She was paraplegic.

She had literally fought all odds, done PG, did practice

and suddenly this unfortunate news.

May her soul rest in peace.

Condolences to her near and dear ones and all MGIMS

alumni.

Dear Kishore,

Your eulogy to Mamta brought tears to my eyes.

I do remember the whole thing quite vividly, even though I was not around at

the time of the incident. Of course the incident was narrated to my by 1980

batch members...

Indeed its sad to see a great soul like her's go.

Yes, Ravin, that Eulogy was heartfelt because I was there first hand

through all that trauma and shock!
