My Amma Appa

I know that am really blessed, i really know it. though i have faced too many ups and downs in life, i still believe that nobody in this world is as blessed as me. Because nobody has my Appa and my Amma as their
parents.the most wondeful parents in the entire world.at every step they have guided me and all the while they expected only one thing from me, that i be happy.during my teenage years like everyone else, i had my share of misunderstandings, fights with them, hurt them, hurt myself annoyed them to the hilt, but even then they were large hearted enough to forgive me everytime. there was a time in my life when i did not know which path to take.

i was confused about my career, after my first year of engineering i realized this was not my forte. my Amma Appa were very supportive of me. not once did they crib that we have invested so much money on you already, you should have been wiser in taking your career decision, now you have to finish this. infact they encouraged me to go for some other course, because they believed that my happiness was more important for them than anything else in the world.then i did not understand how lucky i was but now when i look back i cant thank God enough for the blessings that he has showered on me in the form of Amma Appa.

i had my share of fights with Amma,extreme ones too. I did not like the way she was over concerned about me. I wanted to be independent but she was so concerned and protective about me that she wouldn't let me do anything on my own. how i would wished to stay alone, do my own thing, lead life indepenedently,be my own boss.but now when am away from home, i miss her pampering, her care, the warmth of her love, her non-stop talks, her masala stories, her PJs and even our fights! i miss the way she would force me to eat things i disliked since they were good for my health, her insistence on me going for walks, her shouting at me when i would use the internet for long hours, just everything about her.and Appa, my bestest friend in the entire world. we would have so much fun teasing Amma, pulling her legs, commenting on her oh so nutritions unedible food!!!rarely can you find a household where parents and a child are the bestest of friends, i am proud to say that mine is one such household. i can discuss anything under the sun with them and i know they wont mind. and the best thing is they know me better than myself. wish i had listened to them always would never have had to go through my tough phase in life.

my Amma gets strong intuitions when something wrong is going to happen to me, even petty things like mouth
ulcers. hehe she would suddenly come and tell me that i should start taking vitamin tablets. and me being me wouldnt listen to her and the very next day i would be suffering from mouth ulcers! i still remember i had met with a minor accident once ,i was just coming back to my senses when i heard my cell phone ring. i picked it up it was Amma on the line. She said,"I thought you called me you are ok na?". I couldn't believe it! She could actually sense something had gone wrong somewhere. Seeing the depth of love that she has for me,brought tears to my eyes. And as for my Appa, he is so nice its unbelieveable. He is the most contented person on earth, always happy with whatever he has. Never once have i heard him complain about something that he doesn't have. He always makes use of resources that he has and this is something that he has taught us too. He is extremely simple and never expects anything from anybody.He has never encouraged us to get in the rat race,never merged success with prestige.For him success meant enjoying your work, such that it doesnt seem like a job anymore. I have learnt so many things from him. He is so patient and tolerant it is very hard to believe.Hehe because my Appa is so perfect, i have set such high standards for my hubby that i bet such a guy can never exist in this world(and this is what i secretely want!).

My Appa Amma are the nicest people human beings on earth. So many times people have taken advantage of them, i would get angry but all they would tell me was let them do what they want, why do we have to get affected by all that? we helped them because we felt like and the story ends there.This kind of niceness, ability to forgive and forget, shower so much love and care unconditionally is extremely rare.I can never thank you enough Amma Appa for whatever you have done for me.



You are the bestesssssst parents in the entire universe.....

You are my source of light through tunnels dark,
