En Katta Paiye

  En Katta Paiye If Buddha was alive today, he would have asked “Katta pai illadha veedu edhu”? Katta pai had permeated in all our houses replacing basket bags or “Koodai pai”.   Once we were using “koodai” in different colours and styles and carried them to temples, shops and to pack food while travelling. Koodai pai has become a past and has been slowly replaced by katta pai which has myriad number of uses. Also it is strong, durable, colourful and multifaceted.   Be it wedding, betrothal or any function, most of the stuff is packed in a katta pai. Earlier iron man in our street used to collect clothes wrapped in a lungi or veshti- now Kattapai replaced it. Amma used to buy monthly groceries in cardboard boxes – now Kattapai replaced it. Schools started distributing books using katta pai because of the added strength of wooden handles. Garment shops compliment katta pai to customers and we are delighted to see the katta pai as equal to the stuff in it. Once it is used...

  There’s this boy who stole my heart. He calls me Amma! To my impatient boy … who wants tomorrow to happen yesterday….Today (13th October) is a day you’ve waited for … Don’t rush it.

Daddy Dearest

                         அன்புள்ள அப்பா Dads are extra special to daughters… Yes, Nandu is extraordinarily special to me. I always take pride in introducing myself to relatives and friends as “I am Nandu’s daughter”. Today on his birthday, I would embarrass him with abundant love, praise and acknowledgement. During my early childhood days, my memories are only around my thatha, because appa used to leave early before I woke up and reached home only around my bed time. I would then be anxious to see if he is pampering my sister or me. Obviously, my sister, younger to me by years two (fit to be only in zoo) will be looked upon first and receive the cuddle (That was my first envy on her).  During Sundays, he will be busy cleaning his scooter and rarely had any time for us.  As we grew, I remember him tucking us with bed time Sindbad stories and weekend getaways to beach. His life has not quite turned out as...
