I am reasonably well versed with the profiles of maestro S D Burman and his son R D Burman but not about Meera Burman, wife of S D Burman and mother of R D Burman. I was also curious to know about her life after the untimely death of her only son in January 1994. Apart from keeping a low profile, Meera Burman remained in the background under the shadows of her illustrious husband and son. Contrary to my expectation, I was able to get enough information about her from the archives of newspapers reports, articles and Yahoo discussion forum of R D Burman Fans on the internet.
