Reshmi Rajesh chokes up with emotion every time she talks about her octogenarian father who had a miraculous return to life from what looked like a point of no return a few years ago. He suffered a stroke and was on ventilator support before making a courageous comeback, albeit much weakened. Sitting in her apartment in Abu Dhabhi, where she has been working for close to two decades, a desolate Ms. Rajesh rues not having seen her frail father and mother back in Aluva for two years now. “He hardly comes online, as he is not comfortable with it.
