Ammumma - Grandma

The most irritataing person during my school days :P

I was sharing my room with her and she did a good job in eating my head :) For her the most important person in our family was my Dad and she was shit scared of him :P
The Job which she loved doing was to cook rice from outside. In the era of pressure cooker & gas stove she was the only one in my world who loved making rice in the hand made stove out of rock & steel vessel. Everyday morning she will come and ask my mother "njan appam choru veka alle" if my mother says a No it was like a bad day for her because that was the only happening thing in her life. I can still picture the way she sits in front of that fire checking whether the fire is enough for the rice to get cooked.
Since I was not a great student in school for me studying only happened during exam time. Scoring decent marks was the only aim. So during exam time i use to keep studying late night and she keeps asking me to switch off the light not becauase she was getting distrubed but electricity was like her second son :P

That was the time I was a fan of MTV Roadies & when mom n dad goes to office my honeymoon period to watch TV gets a life.For her watching MTV was sinful because in that according to her girls never wear clothes and boys kept touching girls. She starts her commentary and keeps asking me to watch some news channel. One day I got pissed off and I still remember keeping a telgu news channel just to make her wish come true (news channel). She coudnt understand a single word but was curiously watching. I went off and when I came back I asked her did u understand and she replied "ya but this news reader was way too fast and she didnt knw to how to speak malayalam" I couldt control my laugh but told her "c this is why I am telling we should never watch news during day time". I am sorry ammumma for fooling you on that day ....

For her I never knew how to take bath and keeps saying "korachu enna techo mudilu" . I was the motta in family with terrible lookinh hair style and brow hair. For her my sisters hair was perfect which use to be long - strong and black (the mallu hair ). I hate applying oil and I use act asif I am applying oil in front of amma. One day I didnt close the bathroom door while taking a hair bath and still remember that two eyes which was staring at me through the door. Who else other than my ammumma can do such an act. I screamed and gave her a  blast and asked her why she had to do such a uneathical act becoz I was in 8th and during that time sme1 cing us naked is smething which we can never digest.  And for that her reply was "i just wanted to check whether you are taking a proper hair bath". Now for that ammumma I must say i still dont knw and I knw from heaven u wil be saying "sho ee peninnu epazhum kulikaan ariyilla :P "

We keep fighitng the whole day for some silly things escpecially during my study holidays but I never use to miss giving you my tea which u loved. I knw u still love it :) . You are the person who tauhgt me to make black tea and I am greatful to you for that :)

Amma use to ask ammumma whther I was really studying and so making her believe that I am studying was my tough task which was actually not that tough. I kept reading bla bla bla and she use to think I am studying :P

The best friend of her was Pathumma. Pathu had a ear problem and could hear only partially but ammumma n pathu use to gossip abt others excellently and me n amma use to wonder how they communicate.

I am thankful to you for giving me my wonderful dad & ever loving uncles. Will keep you in my prayers.  I know you are smiling from there.
