And no one has oiled, plaited and looked after my hair as well after I left home. <br /><br />Instead of your Vasanti amma's Mani, she had a wayward drunkard son who managed to turn up on her pay day every month and take away all her hard earned money to fund his drinking habit. No amount of my mom's persuasion will make her zip up a purse. <br /><br />I had a feeling it was her way of overcoming the guilt that as a widowed mother she had to leave her children with other relatives to begin earning for them.<br /><br />She is no longer there but lives as cherished in my memory. I had the satisfaction of doing 'Umra' for her soul as I did for my grandparents a couple of years back.Love me do, Love me Truehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443013138880073957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908771939786959090.post-11903953057343400352010-03-04T10:14:46.001-08:002010-03-04T10:14:46.001-08:00Posted a blog and they said they would publish aft...Posted a blog and they said they would publish after processing.

Your home is her home,and she loves you. She can sense your care and concern despite you ticking her off when required. Don't leave valuables around and get her to give you some proof of the guys identity so that they both know that he is traceable and that you are aware that he is capable of stealing. <br />Moer than anything, its a gift of God to find some one who makes a mean Kashayam !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908771939786959090.post-80811314191186804812010-03-04T09:13:15.749-08:002010-03-04T09:13:15.749-08:00just want to say your words touched me...i want to...just want to say your words touched me...i want to see your vasanti Amma now/ want to know more abt her..woh, what a effect !enjoyed it ...........Mamtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200795700235089353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908771939786959090.post-57089377828449435182010-03-03T10:21:40.222-08:002010-03-03T10:21:40.222-08:00@Sharmila Thanx again i get ur point and definitel...@Sharmila Thanx again i get ur point and definitely you give me logical perspective something to mull over now...good for me.:)Shivani Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693724458955705943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908771939786959090.post-44676455304395635572010-03-03T07:03:09.588-08:002010-03-03T07:03:09.588-08:00When people who are so disparate in their educatio...When people who are so disparate in their educational and economic background live together they may face a problem in communicating with each other, not because they don't care for each other but the manner in which they show it is different.Sharmila Gangulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722295233752923768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908771939786959090.post-58532130069531231902010-03-03T06:09:25.325-08:002010-03-03T06:09:25.325-08:00@Sharmila if you can find time just a small one in...@Sharmila if you can find time just a small one in the comment box will do.i really couldn't get that sociological manifestation part.Shivani Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693724458955705943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908771939786959090.post-24582201573090137182010-03-03T06:06:59.648-08:002010-03-03T06:06:59.648-08:00@Sociological manifestations? will you be able to ...@Sociological manifestations? will you be able to elaborate just a little bit so that i can understand better.Sry i am a sylvania lakshman and get things a bit slow.Please please educate me on this and thanx for going through my painfully long post.Just wanted to somehow put in everything and from all angles all the while trying to be honest.:)Shivani Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693724458955705943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908771939786959090.post-63855619322522511502010-03-03T04:46:37.443-08:002010-03-03T04:46:37.443-08:00This is so beautiful Shivani.

Your relationship with Vasanti Amma is so tender and pure. The fact that you both recognise it and respect each other is obvious.

Kudos to you to have managed to retain her and kudos to her too to have got a soft and caring 'Bommai Amma'.Tandarin Nikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521868273541312250noreply@blogger.com
