Eswari Atta

...so there has been a second demise of an eldely member in our family.The wife of my current eldest mama. It was pretty sad business.One moment we heard she had stomach ache and the second moment we know she had a massive heart attack. The help arrived in 5 mts ..well thanks to 911.She lingered for 3 weeks in ICU before they declared her no more. The good thing is she was with her husband, son and grand children.No harsh pictures on that side.The funny thing we dont have even the numbers of our mama and atta in US. Thats how discreet they are now. Keeping to them selves and their immediate families. No communication with any one else except the ones who do some work to them.

But the families were not always like this. There were days when we all used to visit each other houses unlike now.Our huge families with the big gang of children.I cant say we were favourite to any one but then there was our elder mama to keep us all together.

Well this post was to remember once and for all my atta and mama who did Siva Parvati kalyanam for 15 grand years or more. My child hood memories of them is they sitting in that small room of the temple and completing the rituals of the family as promised to elders...and getting irritated on every one else for the tideous task. God talks to those who cant hear him well.
