March 30th, Amma's birthday

  30 Mar 2013 ... today , another birthday of amma..

 

 

 

The scrap of paper below must be close to 20 years old .. ( can see the list ends with Arun ..)...

On a visit home , one of those happy days of yore, asked Amma for a list of birthdays of all ... which I could save for future .....in less than half hour , I get this paper scripted in that unmistakable neat dwriting  only a very caring mind can,.... recalled from her memory , the best of today's flash drives not match .. .

note the Malayalam almanac dates , months .. ....

The brightest mind goes obscure the fastest .. .. like the Sun , brightest of all , fades in less than 12 hours ..

Spoke to amma yesterday to remind her of birthday today ....She instantly corrected me that her birthday is on 6 Apr (.. as per Malayalam calender )..... adding to my amazement , inquired of my knee swelling ..( casually told to her about two months ago ..)

Perhaps like the Sun or the proverbial Phoenix , this enigmatic mind defies death ........and is only dormant .........
