For several years after Amma's demise, I kept recharging her phone, I would place it in another room, call, and then go and take the phone and answer it myself, and just speak, narrating the day's events. It was a way of comforting myself. An attempt to overcome my grief.

There was a sense of closure and relief. I said a prayer and deleted Amma's number from the phone. Grief is an emotion that holds one tight in its grasp. We tend to build walls, it breaks them down. Then we slowly learn to live amidst those broken walls. Life goes on.

Had now been allotted the number. I just saw the profile. It was a married lady blessed with two children and she had the profile message "My children, my whole world." A line my Amma used to say often. At that point, there was a strange comfort.

After a long time, I stopped recharging the number, but kept the number saved on my phone. One day I received an alert from TruCaller - "Amma has joined Trucaller". For a moment I was just still. I saw the WhatsApp number. After a long inactive period, someone else.

A small space on the pavement, Greams Road, this elderly gentleman repairs / services wristwatches. Got batteries for my watches and changed straps. Simple, cost-effective. His voice quivers, vision at a distance is poor, the tools and muscle memory help him.

Today at the temple, a small boy, three or four years old, was celebrating his birthday, he was with his mother, the child gave out sweets to all the people who finished darshan and were leaving. It was a beautiful feeling. Blessed the child and he said "Thank you mama." 🤗❤️😊

This framed photo is very close to me. Do you notice the kumkumam and chandanam pottu on Hanuman Swami's tail? Were applied by Amma, when she still had the energy to do Pooja. I have carefully kept the picture, offer a flower everyday. There's a bit of Amma in the photo.

This swami is similar to "Munishwaran" worshipped in Tamil Nadu. Some aspects also resemble the Ayyanar swami statues found in the outskirts/borders of villages. The swami is considered as a guardian of the village. Really interesting the similarities. Thank you for sharing Chiru

Guilt because if I had not gone to office that fateful day, Amma may have not slipped and fallen down. Grief because despite doing the best I could and giving her the best care possible, I could not save her. Gratitude because she departed before the cursed pandemic started.

I have not lived in a PG accommodation before. Many years ago for a few months I stayed with my cousin in an apartment as the commute to work was a long distance. Now at 40, when I am addressed as bro, Anna, and uncle by the young students living in the PG, life feels strange.

One point that I would like to add sir, which emphasizes the trust and bonding with the local shop-keeper, during Corona peak time, when many people lost jobs and ran short of cash, several small shopkeepers were generous to accept a delayed payment. Not possible in supermarkets.
