Periappa, was unlucky to have to life is disability but lucky that someone did take care and not abandon him. There are ppl to mourn for him.
Have seen such instances in real world. Also seen brother abondo get his brother for disability just to take his share of property.
In this regard Appa stands very high on my pedestal. And Amma for allowing Appa to do what he did. Alone Appa couldn't do everything. Amma might cringe but never shun her responsibility.
Your story is dedication in a way to many Amma's who have not t been appreciated.
She is one of most real people in the tale.
