Grandma passed away around 10 PM on 8-Jun-2015. Ageing is the prime reason for her death, and Dementia added her woes. Last 8 months or so, she was bedridden, and slowly her ability to recognize the things around her deteriorated as the days passed by. Well she led a life like a Queen, she was like a Sun in my heliocentric universe(family).
As I was more attached to my Thaatha, I did not have many cherishing memories with Lalitha Amma(Paati). After my Thaatha's death, I had some wonderful memories with Lalitha Amma. During my college days, once I told my parents, that Paati does not offer me kiss. Which was easily available to my brothers and sister. Once I got good grading in one of my semester exams, she offered me a kiss. At that very moment, I said ithuku naan romba naala wait pannitu iruken amma.
Being a devotee of Lord Venkatesa, I had the privilege to visit Tirupati quite frequently. Once she asked me to take her to Tirupati, and it did not happen at all. I failed to fulfill her wish.
It is a blessing for the children who grow up in the presence of their grandparents. In that way we were bit unlucky. Though we got the attention and love from our grandparents, but it was not a everyday affair.
