Twelve years back when you came to visit me in IIT Chennai hostel, I never had an idea that I was destined to meet one of the most important persons of my future family. Truly from heart.. But for you, I would have lost the love of my life. You are the hidden reason for all my smiles today. I couldn't stop admiring your greatest qualities. I am not your blood, but you showered your love on me. You have nurtured the whole lot of your family members in your canopy. The most admirable thing about you is your passion towards life. Your concern and care about every small detail of life, your affectionate words, loving taunts for our errors, uncluttered display of your authority, your metalic voice and your everlasting smile will always stay in my memories. I have seen the way you served your wife in the hospital... Lying on the hospital bed, you were worrying about our breakfast and travel. I am sure you are a role model for many and I offer my heartfelt salutations to you. My eyes are full for I can't see you again, I dearly miss you mamayya. A week before your demise, you promised me to come home. Please do come into our life, give us a bit of your passion for life, a bit of your love and care for people and a bit of your strength to support others... Give us a bit of you so that we also live with dignity like you and rest in dignity like you... leaving our footprints in the hearts of all the generations we encounter in life.
