A politician above politics

Sheila Dikshit was a person of many colours and contrasts.

Despite being 81, she was an ageless soul, as manifest in the love showered on her by the young and old alike. And despite being ambitious, she was completely selfless, as could be seen in the way she helped each and every one who came to her for help of any kind. (Express photo by Praveen Khanna)

A woman of many colours and many contrasts. A rare gem of a politician with a heart, and a woman with the iron will of a powerful administrator. A workaholic who was an excellent homemaker. A leader who did not shy away from making a cup of her special tea for her guests.
