Wondering who I am?

I am grandmother.
Remember that person who always brought a smile to your face for being
the one who always heard you,
the one who loved you no matter what,
the one who laughed at whatever you said whether or not that was funny!
I am that person.

grandma says...

Srijanani, my daughter, is someone who loves to experiment with food and combinations. Her favourite is the Gongura pickle.

She herself used to get Gongura from the market, carefully pluck the leaves out of the stem and get everything ready for me to prepare the pickle. Srikanth, on the other hand, was never much into the pre-preparation effort but was prompt to eat once the pickle was ready.

Some days she used to mix Gongura with Kandi Podi while on the other days Nuvvula Podi used to be the combination. Surprisingly all her combinations used to click.

Such was her fondness of Gongura that she used to invite her friends to our home and let all of them experience her combinations.

And at the slightest hint of resistance from anyone, she used to hit back saying that Gongura is a rich source of iron, vitamin C and antioxidants - no wonder she chose home science as her career path

Vijayadasami

I sat there smiling on the balcony enjoying the festive mood. My grandchildren are preparing their bicycles for Ayudha pooja with their grandfather. “Sit and try to balance yourself, Karthik”, I heard my husband encourage my grandson to cycle. And, this reminded me of my childhood. The memories of us performing ayudha pooja, our heartful talks and giggles, and the delicious prasadam!
