During a conversation, Madhu recalled her decision to send her daughter Priyanka to boarding school when she was seven. She said, “I don’t know, was I a mean mother? I still regret it. I still cry over it. It was very hard for me, too…But the thing was, every Saturday, I would leave my work and take a train and come to visit her every Saturday. That was becoming disruptive for her because she was not able to adjust to her boarding school. Saturday, she would wait for me to arrive, and then on Sunday, I would stay with her. And all week, the teacher told me, ‘Stop coming. You can’t come'”.
Reflecting, Madhu shared that her decision is filled with both regret and pride. She said, “So that is one regretful decision, but Priyanka turned out alright. She landed on her feet.”
