Happy Birthday Grandma!



The rickety road next to the infamous HMT junction leads to a little pink house- my grandmother’s house. Everything about the house is nostalgic , even the colour, clock and curries. If not for her my vacations would always be incomplete. Even when whole of Kerala complaints of failed crops her backyard boasts of mangoes, bananas and coconuts. Her appams have the most beautiful laces, puttu, the softest and pickles-my constant companion abroad. Rosamma, Shoshamma and Anamma are none other than her hens and rarappan  the lonely husband of the three. A feminist, perfectionist and economist , she will sulk a whole day if you beat her in chess. World has changed, s ways have changed, but she and her ways still remains as same as her grandfather clock . Happy Birthday to my dear grandmother !
