Poona Paati to me, Situ Paati to my little ones and to Navy
Amma to many, though chiefly to Raju and Rajam
A small little lady
With long black curls and a large heart
The maker of bolis and rotis
And morkozhambu like no other
A frail lady but my pillar of strength through a difficult pregnancy
The remover of all evil-the suthi podra person of this home
Lover of TV serials ( including kandravi and chandalans)
Mysore Sandal Soap and Ponds dreamflower talc loyalist
Expert at Kolams, crochet and carrom too( not to forget the childish cheating)
Expert at Kolams, crochet and carrom too( not to forget the childish cheating)
The last grand one of mine
Spirited and Shy, Stubborn and Helpful
Zestful till almost the end, the last few weeks were painful.
Tata Paati. Inga mathram poitu vara modiyaadu.
I can picture you right now, having a tiff with thaatha already over there.
Till we meet again, farewell.

I am so sorry Arthi... I have met her once when we all came to see Aditi after she was born. I still remember her enthusiasm.
So sorry for your loss, Art... your words here about Situ Paati are intimate and precious.

Reminds me so much of my own Paati..she had such a modern outlook towards life..she was the first one to approve my love marriage to a man from another caste-she said we all live in a cosmopolitan society, ithula enna irukku?She sang songs, slogams,was adept in kolam,tamil literature..ennoda paati.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can imagine how heart-breaking it is. Take care.
Just knowing you, I can sort of imagine the grandma she must have been; sad that we didn't get a chance to get to know her. Sorry to hear about your loss. Peace.
A big hug to you! And may her soul rest in peace even if it means having tiffs with your Thaatha :)
Hugs art.. So sorry for your loss.
How are the kids taking it? Pls pass on my condolences to your parents.
She sounds like a spirited and loving lady.Wishing you and your family loads of strength and courage to deal with the loss.
Thanks all for the support. Rationally, we all know that this is a life well lead and a fairly good end.

Aditi does not know. She thinks paati is in hospital still.
Anush was a little low and wants more details. We told her that the body goes but the soul lives on as a star. We are keeping the kids engaged with routine activities.
Situ Paati seemed to have waited to see the kids before moving on.
She has been hospitalised since Jan 6 and met them on this Sat finally when they allowed the kids to visit her.
Feeling very sorry for u.What a great and cheerful person!Never been with paati.Missed all the wonderful moments what u and many people had/have with their paatis.May her soul rest in peace.
Jwala.
