அம்மாவின் நினைவுகள்
நேற்றுதான் நடந்தது போல் உள்ளது. நேற்றோடு இரண்டு வருடங்கள் உருண்டோடி விட்டன என்று நம்பவே முடியவில்லை. அம்மா கூட இல்லையே என்ற ஏக்கமும், வெறுமையும் ஒரு புறம் ஆட்கொண்டாலும் மறுபுறம் அம்மா எங்கும் எதிலும் நிறைந்திருப்பது போன்ற உணர்வும் கூடவே பயணிக்கிறது. அம்மாவின் அன்பு, அரவணைப்பு என்பதெற்கெல்லாம் ஏது ஈடு? தாயின் பாசத்தை வர்ணிக்க முயன்று வென்றவர்களை விட தோற்றவர்களே கூடுதலாக இருப்பார்கள் என்று எண்ணுகிறேன். She was/is embodiment and personification of true love and affection. The feelings of her grand children immediately after her departure is shared.

Ammamma…
It’s hard to even think that there
will be no reply when I call you…
It’s hard to believe that you are
not in C1 when I cross 1st Block!
It’s hard to think that there will
be no answer when I call your number…
It’s hard to accept that you are gone.
You became a kid when you told your
childhood stories,
You became a friend when we
discussed my problems,
You became a mom when I needed
comfort,
You became everything when I cried.

If there was anyone who wanted me to
talk for long hours, it was you
If there was anyone who made curd
and idly the way I wanted, it was you
If there was anyone who wore the
saree that I spoilt with my tailoring skills, it was you
If there was anyone who understood
the importance of my job search it was you!
Your advice made me admire your
intelligence
Your support made me admire your
strength
Your work made me admire your speed
Your life made me admire you in
entirety
You preached that love was the basis
of our life
You practised that all through your
life
You taught us how to share it with
all
You are still teaching us by being
our role model
With loads of love, hugs and kisses,
Rekha(laddu as you call me)

How young YOU are!
The sun never used to rise before
you,
We woke up each morning to your
cheerful face
And generous blessings bestowed from
heart,
Each morning with spirits anew
I used to wonder, "How young
you are!"
Welcoming all with a hot coffee
brew,
It was not just a feast that
followed
But your love and affection to fill
our hearts
Never was this once untrue,
Making me wonder, “How young you
are!”
Your thirst for knowledge always
fresh like the morning dew
I see you writing pages of Hindi and
English
And learning something new each day
With dedication and fervour that we
hardly knew,
I wondered, " How young you
are!"
"Amamma", we all called
you,
You are Mother to your daughters in
law too,
Your care the like of which we have
never seen
You did all one could ever imagine,
Age could never catch up with you.
When I write this I am not with you,
Or is it that you are not there with
us and so I write?
You lived by example, to aspire and
inspire,
Amamma we all love you and YOU will
ever live in us
The sun that never rose before you,
will never set upon you.
