FootPrints of True Love....

always envied of people in love... they enjoy the privileges of "to care" and "being cared" ..... but in todays world.. the word "true love" has become an illusion..... just an another word in relationships... some are momentary... some last till marriage.... and some fades out after marriage...

i like to tell about my grand father(Thatha)....was very dear to me.. i was bought up by my grand parents till 4th standard... they passed away when i was studying 10th... and still i am missing them badly.... was too much attached to them .. especially to my Thatha.... he loves kids... he is fun loving .. Energetic and Caring gentleman.... i used to watch TV with all our street children in our home in Madurai...

but why about him in this post about "love"....???

its about a real story of a true love..... not a movie... not an illusion..i have spent my childhood with them... Thatha is too Dark.. while my grand mom(Aachi).... too fair.. but the chemistry was amazing...... have experienced the real sense of true love.. my Grand father is a Tasildhar ... but very simple, humble, down to earth person.. very honest... very disciplined..... ... when my grand mom was admitted for kidney failure... .. and i was with them ..ts very hard to explain about the days we spent in the hospital.... its hard to explain the pain he underwent to save his lady love back to life......

my Aachi was an Asthma patient.. she was a diabetic too... Thatha never allowed her to work..she had the breathing problem..........he did everything.... from cooking to washing clothes.... making me and my sister ready for school...... he is fond of cracking jokes ... and making fun of all...... he is also a gr88 movie freak... we used to go for movies in the week ends... gr88 time....

when i came to Trichy to live with my parents.. was literally down ..missed them badly when i came here....... but still they came for weekends.......
once Thatha came alone for a weekend here..... for the whole day he was thinking of Aachi. he was restless... he went back to Madurai.. on the same night..!!

My Aachi passed away when i was studying 10th... Thatha..... the next year.... he died of hypetoma.... the main cause of which is Depression....... me and my sis tried our best to distract him from the thoughts of his lady love..... but we failed...

sometimes True Love Costs You More........

The Valentine GIft.......

Let me narrate the scene I witnessed last night… I was asked to buy Idlis for the dinner for my home…….. I went to the usual shop... It was a shop run by an old man and his wife …. The shop is a four wheel wooden vehicle, modified….and this shop is famous for its soft idlis …..Every time I go there I used to get idlis quickly... But this time... There was some crowd… coz I came early at 7 in the evening…the vehicle shop was buzzing with people… I was really getting bored standing there for a long time... But I noticed something this time... The old man was really busy packing chutney and idlis for all the people standing there…the old man didn’t even see the people standing there... He was really focused in packing… when there was no crowd.. He used to crack jokes with his wife and people around used to laugh and enjoy their company….. But yesterday….

Both were too busy…

I overheard a conversation of two uncles standing near me…after that I really felt the sense and the real meaning of true love...

The couple lost their two sons to ‘LOVE’ (Selfish Love)....as a parents they tried their best to make their sons to live comfortably with luxury …. But unfortunately both the sons fell in love with some one... Ran away …..And never returned … and never want to return too….Both are now living in a foreign land... well settled...

I found the photo of their two sons in their younger age in the vehicle …. Inspite of this loss.. The couple still spend their time happily.. It’s the true love which keeps them going…. I am not that close to know about their spending of time in the day... But from what I saw and have been seeing them... I know that they are happy and blessed with Bliss and harmony… the couple resembled my grand parents in LOVE ....and incidentally … it was Valentines Day….and I really got the sense of true love when I saw them working busily together …. And that sense I consider as a valentine day gift for me….

True Love Lasts For Ever…….
