En Chella Paati

My Grandmother...

She inspires me, encourages me, and helps me keep going at each step of my life...


She has been a real hard worker through out her life. She would beat any 16 year old easily with the amount of work she does at the age of 72. From her I learnt to work hard to achieve my dreams. She taught me that nothing is impossible in this world if you truly want that to happen and work for it. She is my best mathematics teacher ever.The one who taught me to be independent, that women can do anything and everything.

She is also the best cook...every time i visit chennai i am bound to put on weight as i obviously cannot compromise with the delicious food she cooks. She is definitely as dear to me as my amma appa and brother are...the closest family member...so close that as a child i used to force her to get onto the train while returning back to our place and that my amma could happily stay back at chennai with her sisters and appa . I sometimes feel she is far more updated with the current world than my mother is. She not just gives tips to her daughters about the house hold chores, but shows same amount of interest in learning to operate a computer or a mobile phone!Being her only grand daughter i have always been pampered by her...in short i am her chella pethi ;)


Its been more than a year since i met her while she came over to our place after so much of persuasion, can't forget the way we discussed about my future plans, studies and everything like best friends do...She has been more than just my granny, she is my best buddy who I am sure would stand by my side in every ups and downs of my life. Looking forward to meet her after a long time....
