The importance of Aunt Mira

Aunt Mira was a care taker to the Das children. She was like a mother and father to them at the same time. Mira Masi taught the kids things in which their mother and father had never done. If it was not for Aunt Mira Baba would not know some of the things he know all because his mother did not have anytime for him. Mira cooked, clean and nursed the children she had a special relationship with Tara who loved her very much, she gave Tara her blessings when she was getting married. Tara left the house and went to live with her husband, when Raja got better he left the house also so it was just up to Bim to look after her sick brother and Aunt whom was drinking alcohol constantly now.
Aunt Mira communicated less and drank and locked herself up in her room more and more everyday, this may be because of the fact she loved the Das children very much and when they are all grown up she feels alone just like when she was living with her late husband's family.
