TO ammamma


u rememebr nani.. achan ``ur ponnumkandam polathe mon' stopped paddy cultivation in our field as u had to stop going to the field along with the workers as i was born. u also used to say that i was the one who made u stay in a hospital for the first time.. during my birth...

u who always wanted a girl child after two boys.. and as u said it was ur prayers that helped me born in that lovely house ten yeas after the birth of sarathettan.. and i can guess how much u would have rejoiced to know that ur son finally had a daughter..

do u remember the days when u used to give me company playing `valappottu'using the broken pieces of bangles?? and those days when u used to tell me the tales of Ramayana and mahabharatha in the evenings..
