Matha ,Pitha,
I would like to start my blog in that order ....with all due respect to all of them...hoping and praying for their sincere blessings....here I go
Matha....My Mother!!!
Short and sweet is how I would describe her and if you ask me what are her prominent qualities , I would say .....Sacrifice and Dutiful !!!
Yes ,that is what she is ....but then I know there are lot of adjectives and inner meanings to those two words when it comes to her .
I`ve never seen her expressing her love for anyone in words , and once in a while if at all some love comes out she feel embarrassed
All through her life she has been everything .....departing her duties towards her mother like a loving daughter ,towards her hubby , kids ,siblings ,relatives ....attending and properly managing everything in a timely and orderly manner ... she has been assigned to . Never once have I seen her lying down ,relaxing ,taking rest ......even when she suffered from major migraine attacks.....nothing could stop her .....for her duty came first and last came her health or her well being .
As a child I used to watch her , hastily swallowing pain killers and then finishing off the chores of the day ....neglecting her health for her family and the former eating her slowly until it succeeded in making her a chronical kidney patient .
Running all through her life , finishing off all the work at home and then off to the work place and from there back home ....entertaining a house full of guests , in between teaching her children , making dinner and the list goes onnnnnnn !!!

Till date I haven't seen a single day or time when she spend time for herself . Her looks ,her health were never a priority for her .Yes ,she was worried whenever she fell ill with the thought that she would be putting us in trouble.
She has been and still managing all tasks of life with the best of her ability . She worries at the smallest of the smallest things . She foresee the future of her children and her grand children and plan accordingly .
Being a mother myself , I doubt whether I have all those patience , so much dedication towards my kids ? Or to all the relationship I`m into ? Am I giving a 100% to all my duties ?
As my age progresses , I realize what a gem of a lady she is ,and I`m totally spellbound by her capabilities and sacrifices .I admire her a lot .Her life is teaching us a lot of lessons . Hats off to that wonderful lady in my life ....
Mom you are the best and there are no words to praise you enough !!! Keep guiding us always as you do now , for without you our life is meaningless !!!
Now when she has crossed 70 , as I watch her ....I see helplessness , fear , emotionally tied up , worry and anxiety in her eyes . Her eyes seem to ask for appreciation , for love ,seeking attention from all her loved ones ...and with that whole motto in her mind she strains herself to hear the speeches of guru ....to change her into a better person ....Let me tell you ...Amma ,you don`t need to listen to any prabhashan ....you don`t need to change ......You are indeed a very unique person .....the leg pulling we do every time with you .....is just a way of ours to get your attention ....nothing more .....
Do forgive us for all the hurts we have given you all the way ......forgive us for the immature minds of ours ....We understand your intentions are always pure and unconditional ....it is we who take it the wrong way :-(

Pitha ...My Father ! ! !
Tall and handsome is how I would describe him ....for if you ask me what his prominent qualities are I would say ...Easy going and Loving !!!
Acha is so easy going . we have never seen him angry . Yes , my childhood memories do have a picture of an angry young man , but then managing two chatterboxes would never had been a easy job ;-)
Lovable as he is ....He is never tired of expressing his love his loved ones .I must say kids are his weakness , and for them he is always their moon appoppa :-)
He love crowds , enjoys a house full of people .....and if alone he seem so distant
He introduced us to the world of reading ....from Amar chitra kathas to Vanitha
to Aeosep`s fables to Vikramaitya stories .............the list goes on ....
Now as he crosses 80 , I see him so lonely ......he still enjoys the crowds ...kids are still his weakness ....but then I feel he is lost in his own thoughts most of the time ......I always wonder what must be going through his mind ? Is he feeling lonely ? Is he too craving for more love and attention ? Or is he scared ?
As Infinitheism Rangarajan Sir ,says in his speeches ....however hard we try ...we will never be able to find out what goes in the mind of others ...however much we love them .....even then it is impossible for us to read what is going on in their minds ....because it is impossible for us to go behind the eye balls of our loved ones to see and to feel the world the way they are feeling !!!
Acha ,you are the best father .....no doubt ....I still remember the return from your tours ....our visit to Lakshmi stores ....the Sunday feasts... the movies you took us to ....everything .......
Love you both ...........God blessed us by giving such wonderful parents and we are indeed thankful to him

Guru ...My Teachers
Remembering all my teachers ......from the nursery to post graduation......A big salute to all of them ....without their support and proper guidance I would never have been what I am today !!!
Some faces do come to my mind ......Thankom teacher , Vimala teacher , The sisters of our Convent who taught us the basics of English to the pronunciation......the faculties of the colleges ...Sukumaran sir , Chandran sir ......
Guruve Namah !!!
Daivam ....My Lord
Most importantly..... the one and only force that holds all of us ....The lord ....from Rishimangalam Krishna to Attukal devi ............Bowing to all you with a koopu kai .......seeking blessing from each one of you .............and I would like to thank my parents , and my grandmother ...who taught us the way to peace ....the bhajans, the slokas , the sandhya keerthanas ....... who taught us the different rituals and ways to seek the blessings of Almighty ...
God Bless !!!
God Bless !!!
