Mangaluru, Feb 16: An elderly woman from Tamil Nadu was on Saturday reunited with her daughter and son after 14 years at the Mangaluru's White Doves destitute home.
"Mary only knew her name when she came here 10 years ago. Recently, she told us about her home town," Corrine Rusquinha, founder of White Doves told media.
Mary had gone missing 14 years ago from her hometown Kortampet in Tamil Nadu.
"Ten years ago, she was spotted by Mangaluru police who brought her to White Doves home late one evening. Initially, she could only speak Tamil, so it was presumed she was from Tamil Nadu. She was on psychiatric treatment," Rusquinha said.
A few days back, a visiting priest at the White Doves home spoke to Mary in Tamil and asked about her hometown.
"Surprisingly, she could recall the name of her hometown, following which the visiting priest contacted the pastor at Kortampet. Mary's family, including her daughter Gnana Anthony, who is a paramedic student in Coimbatore, was informed about Mary," she said.
Soon after, Gnana and her elder brother came to Mangaluru to take their mother back to their home.
Mary's husband Jhonson, who worked as a cook, had died within a year of losing his wife.

I could not understand people are so mad of film actor/actresses. this is mainly in Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andhra. they will watch movie at any cast even if they have to be hungry. they think Film actor/actress as special creatures. Few actors are even worshipped as God. They dont understand that these filmy people make money from ordinary public and live lavishly. They earn in crores whereas common man struglles for single rupee. What a shame.
