translation of the tamil poem posted earlier on page 138
Battling warrior
She battled before to become his
Akka stood by her sensing her desire
She distanced herself and moved away when she realised she was being isolated
He consoled her and comforted her in the only way she could be pacified
When he lost his cool and moved her only solace was the patriarch
She was worried of his state and panicked Appa unmindful of it
Lashed out with caustic words hurting her immensely
fuming she retaliated in words. Akka silenced her
Amma stood by her who stood up for her married home
She argued for herself and her family
Ignorant of her family's affluence appa blabbered
Akka intervened gave her gifts teased her of the dude and reluctantly packed her home
The Dude that was peaceful with all taunted her and made her turn towards him
