My Mother

With my amma in a tea shop in parunthanpara, pereemedu...

If I start writing about my mom, it will be difficult to make it a brief one and I'm sure it is the same with all of you.. We all love our Amma so much… the very first song that I got to perform was "enn amme onnu kaanaan" from the film nammal and will remain my fav song . She is my pillar of strength, my inspiration, my best friend, my teacher …everything . Infact it is the same for everyone in our family.. She has the most amazing attitude I have ever seen, to be able to see humour at even the toughest of situation thus making it light as if it was nothing.. When I was in the operation theatre, people told her that i might not be able to talk properly and will have deformation in the face , she laughed at them and said anyway he doesn't speak clearly and I'm sure this will make him speak better and the surgery might make him different but he will look better than he is now... Such is her positive attitude and she told me this and laughed.. This made me so light and have a very positive approach to the situation I was in . She taught me that everything is in our mind and a positive outlook will keep attracting positive things in life and one would be able to find joy in every moment of life..
My love for food and cooking originates from the awesome delicacies she prepares. when I had to live alone in Delhi I missed her food so much I tried to replicate the food she makes by starting to cook. My fav has always been the aromatic masala dosa she prepares and I sit very close to the tava to get the hot and crispy masala dosa with butter just starting to melt. I could never count how much I eat and she has to literally drive me out of the kitchen so that others in the family get their share of breakfast….
She is an adventurous woman and loves to travel.. Im so happy that I could take her to many places and there is a lot more places to take her, one of it being kailash-manasarovar which I will surely take her next year. Every time i get to travel, the first person with whom i would like to share my travel experience is my mother as she passionately hears and enjoys all the intricate details of the journey. This drives me to see more, experience more absorbing all the minute details of the journey with an eye of a good traveller....
