HAPPY BIRTHDAY,MY DEAREST AMMA !

MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY!


Dear Friends,
A Lovely and Pleasant Evening!
Tomorrow is my beloved Amma's Birthday-Uthram Star of Thulam Month.Uthram is the birth star of Lord Ayyappa.

How much I wanted to be there at home with Amma on this auspicious day!But due to Diwali holidays no tickets are available.Kunjettan[my second brother]Nanda and Madhav will be with Amma.

Today's post is my Birthday Gift to My Amma,the most wonderful,loving and influential person in my life!Amma is my source of inspiration!As the name Chandrika means,Amma spreads the moonlight of love,peace and happiness.:)you can view the photo of my Amma and Achan [Father].

Every day is a new beginning
But tomorrow is very special for us,
Amma ,it is your birthday,
Of the most wonderful person of our lives.
You are so simple n don't believe in celebrations,
But we want the day to be memorable,
So I decided to write down my feelings,
For which many posts I will need .
Born in an aristocratic family,
To the wonderful parents,
In a village near Guruvayoor,
Who had wonderful education
under the guidance Of the popular Gurus and Mahakavis!
Who opted for music as the special subject,
For the professional course in Trichur,
Who sings so melodiously,
Who has a wonderful style of writing,
And an excellent command in English n Malayalam,
Under the guidance of the scholars n poets
Being so lucky to have strong foundation,
Who won the hearts of the faculty and friends,
Just being the simple and person,
Who worked as the high school teacher,
Teaching English and Social Studies,
Winning the hearts of hundreds,
And the most lovable human being,
Married to a perfect gentleman,
Belonging to an aristocratic family,
And thus my Amma became Ms. Chandrika Balachandra Menon.
Together my parents developed,
The love for letters and reading,
The introduction to the amazing world of English,
The love for the language
The moral support n inspiration,
To participate in curricular n non curricular activities,
The dance classes,classical and folk arts,
Reading newspaper should be a routine,
Checking dictionary must be a practice,
The words are more powerful than swords,
The culture,the traditions,the devotion passed on,
The best of education and the best of life given,
The exposure n the religious trips,
he strength of relations,value of sacrifice,
The bonds to be built among friends,
To stretch a helping hand to the needy,
The importance of education should be stressed,
The utilisation of opportunities is a must,and
The love for music and cultural arts,
The age should not be a barrier to learn,
Life still can offer a lot,
Teaching to get up after a fall,
Love the birds,animals and plants,
To be strong to face the storms of lives,
A good deed deserves another,
A smile n good word always
Should be always the part of our lives!
An early bird catches the prey,
Slow and steady wins the race,
United we stand n divided we fall.
The hardships you have taken ,
In bringing up your children,
How can we forget Amma,
Till the end of our lives ?

Unexpectedly n untimely when Achan left us,
All we, five children were away,
Amma was stronger to face the life,
And the loneliness made her write,
Five books on spiritual and philosophical thoughts,
Amma, we are really proud of you,
On whose lap we search the solace,
Whose love is always overflowing,
Like the water of the ocean,Only you can understand,Amma,
When my voice breaks down on phone
Only you can soothe the disappointments,
And calm all the fears of life,
Looking forward for X'mas holidays,
To be with you and to be soaked in
Looking forward for X'mas holidays,
To be with you and to be soaked in your love !
Amma,dearest,we are thankful,
To the OMNIPOTENT for gifting us,
The wonderful parents on earth!
For all these priceless lessons taught to us,
We,the five children fail to express,
Our love,regards n gratitude by words,
We are indebted to our parents life long,
For what we are today!
I must mention about Rev.Sr.Modesta,
The most sincere and honest student,
And friend of my dearest Amma,
Who never fails to reach us,
On all special days and celebrations,
Whose prayers are so warm and sincere
Lucky Amma, to have a student and fan like her
And lucky Rev.Sr,to be taught by a teacher like Amma.:)
On this special day Amma,dearest,
I offer you a bunch of roses and jamanthy,
Your all time favourite flowers!:)
Etten,Kunjettan,Nanda,Madhav and all,
Wishing you a wonderful birthday,Amma,
May GOD bless you with a life,
Filled with health,peace n happiness!
My parents are very pious and strong devotees of Lord Krishna.
Nanda bought this beautiful statue of Lord Krishna from Guruvayoor.
As tomorrow is a working day,I will not get time to publish this tomorrow morning.so,the post is published just the previous night.friends,seeking your prayers,assuring Anu's love to all,reminding you my Amma knows most of you,
It's Anu signing off...........
Nothing can replace the love,faith,blessings, care and concern that our parents offer us!
Friends,I wish to be the daughter of my parents in all my rebirths.:)
Feeling the heartbeats n steadfast love of my Amma,

And a wonderful day ahead,
