அம்மாவின் நினைவுகள்

                                                                                                

                                                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 1^st 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.

                                                                                             22.01.1929---30.11.2009

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)

AMMA WITH SONS, DAUGHTERS, DAUGHTERS IN LAW AND GRAND CHILDREN

Your Greatness - AMMAMMA

Ø  First and foremost thing I notice in you is, you always wanted to look presentable.

Ø  I have never seen and will never see anyone of your age, giving this much of care to their looks, the way of dressing and I just love the way you have passion towards wearing jewels and new collections of sarees and of course your spectacles(Without which you will not let anyone to take even a photo).

Ø  You have never been partial to any of your children, In-laws or grandchildren.

Ø  You have been kind enough to everyone around you. Not a single person is hurt by you and you are the only person who taught us to love everyone.

Ø  You have been extremely generous since your birth and your success is that you have inculcated that to your children and grand children.

Ø  Above all I have never seen any one of your age with the latest updating of knowledge towards a technological invention as you are with your mobile phone, digital camera, DVD player and above all Tamil Matrimonial.com (for your grandchildren)

You Didn’t Do To Me	I Didn’t Do To You
You said that you will see me going great heights with prosperity. But you failed to . . .	I wanted to go great height in your presence and blessings. But I failed to . . .
You said that you wish to see me getting married before I lose my hair and charm. But you failed to . . .	I should have reached that level before you leave me. But I failed to . . .
You always tell that you are fond of my music and you wanted to hear to my concert in Gayathri’s marriage. But you failed to. . .	I would have called you during my rehearsal on Sunday (29.11.09) had I known your departure.  But I failed to . . .
You always said that you wish to keep everyone into laughter and happiness and you invited everyone for your grandchildren marriage. BUT YOU FAILED TO . . .	I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET YOU GO. . . . . . BUT I FAILED TO . . . . . .

                                               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.
