Morning dew adorned the leaves like pearls
Amidst this verdant landscape is outlined
A quiet and gentle figure.
With thick glasses perched low on the nose
Lips monotonously chanting.
Wrinkled fingers making artistic movements
As they turn colourful balls of wool into sweaters.
A living mirage of the times that have passed
Beautiful old people - a work of art.
No wonder she is called ‘grand’mom.
Amazing real life stories. Cute fables. The warmth of her lap. The divine sparkle in her eyes. The tongue tickling food. She is so much fun to be with – loving, caring, soft and practical.

சொந்தத்தில் நல்ல
சொந்தம் தான் பாட்டி!
உன்னை பெற்றவர்களையே
பெற்று பெரிய இடம் பிடித்த பாட்டி!
தன் வாரிசுகளுக்கு
தகுந்தவாறு நடக்கும் பாட்டி!
அன்பை முழுவடிவத்தில் பார்க்க
ஆண்டவன் அனுப்பி வைத்த பாட்டி!
பிரித்தியின் பாட்டிபோல
எனக்கும் இருந்த பாட்டியை
இங்கே நினைவு கூர்ந்து....
நிறைவுசெய்கிறேன்....
உறவுகள் தொடர்கதை....
