~~Saraswati Periyamma~~

Who are you?

You are an Artist..

You know the technique to enhance the beauty of your painting..

You are a Master Chef..

Who prepares dishes suited to the tastes of the connoisseurs..

You are a Waiter ..

You attend to the needs of each visitor..

You are a skilled Seamstress..

Who makes the garment with elegant and exquisite zari work..

You are a Historian..

Delving into the past to prove the authenticity of your work..

You are a Baby sitter..

You take care and keep us engaged all through the day..

You are a Juggler..

Managing your time between writing and caring for your family..

Above all..

You are an excellent Writer..

The words you write dance on your fingers..

Like a master Puppeteer..

Who makes the puppets dance manipulating her fingers

Art, Cookery, Embroidery, Babysitting, History - I can see hints of all of Periyamma's favourite hobbies/topics... and thus, her favourite analogies... glimpses of which I've seen through her various collection of poems over the past 2 years...

You are my favourite Daughter..

Who has adopted me as her mother

In the fag end of my life..

But these three lines touched me like anything. I don't recall if I mentioned it specifically but they touched me a lot. I am so glad to have you in my life... one day where I don't see a few words from you and I'm already wondering where's Periyamma...

I do wish we'd have the opportunity to meet... it was brilliant talking to you the other day over phone and thank you so much for calling..

Wish you a Happy Birthday, my darling Child!

Here's my gift you wished for...

I shall wear this saree for the upcoming wedding in May, Periyamma! Thank you so much Periyamma!

~~Baby & Babloo... ~~

Happy Birthday Lashy Akka!

Baby

Bablookutty.

Hello my darlings... thank you for such wonderful wishes! Really!🤗 Hope you enjoy the magic ride carpet that I have arranged for both of you as part of the party... genie told me that since it's a birthday party, only kids allowed... so you might not be able to take gran'ma on it😲 do let me know where you go though

Lashy akka,

I drew this with crayons..

Lashy'kka

I did this in my Play School..I didn't know the 'felling' of your name.. That's why I didn't write your name..

Don't worry I like this small name too!😉 Getting my big name right... well... err sometimes even grown ups don't get it right

Lashy Akka I drew this.. This is Heera akka.

I drew this.. This is Akbar uncle..and Bahadur.

Lashy: Such beautiful drawings, I tell you...😳 it must be in the genes...

Babloo: 😲Lashy'kka in whose jeans?

Lashy: Not jeans! 😆*giggle* genes! Spelt with a 'g'

Baby: Ohhh... is it like a genie? A genie comes in a bottle too.

Lashy: 🤔In a way, yes...both are magic

B&B: How?😲 What kind of magic is that?

Lashy: A genie is magic... and your genes have magic in them too... seeing how you've got it from your gran'ma

Baby 😲: I don't remember Gran'ma giving us magic genes.

Babloo😲: Me neither

Lashy: 😆Why don't you go ask her about it?

B&B run to granma waking her up from her noon nap.

Granma: What is it, kutties?

Babloo: I want your magic genes.

Baby: Me too. Lashy'kka says you gave them to us. I don't remember. So, show me where you've hidden the gift.

Gran'ma: 😕
