Default Motherhood !!

The golden rays of the Sun started slowly hugging Mother earth….Gowrimma’s room started glowing in the morning sun… She woke up with a jerk… realized that she was already late ..She folded the mat ,kept aside took her dresses and hurried to the Shower . She quickly dressed herself and came out .She somehow managed to walk quickly even in her 60’s. She reached the Temple nearby and kept her soul under the Feet of God. She was thinking of her beloved son. .She was also much elated that her son was coming that day to meet her after many months.
She came back and saw her friend Komala sitting in the Verandha….Seeing Gowrimma, Komala understood the reason for the traces of happiness which was exhibited clearly in her wrinkled face…
Gowrimma anxiously started talking about her son to her friend as usual.She told her friend that her son will arrive at 11 AM and she is eagerly waiting to see him…Gowrimma always talks about her son to everybody she sees….Some got pity looking her and some thought she is mad to have this much affection ...

She denied her breakfast looking at the clock nearing 11 AM.., she rushed to the Entrance Gate and started looking at the heavy Road…..

Her small eyes inside the Spectacles stressed a lot to look outside in the hot sun ,but she managed to stand there with her moisted eyes with much expectations , the moistured eyes were more filled and tears rolled her cheeks when it didn’t miss to see the Lines written in Dark Blue Paint in a big White board above her head ….

“ Helpage & Oldage Home “
17, Third Cross,Adayar,Chennai.


It was half past Eleven ….She was still waiting there in the Hot Sun….praying to God that her son must come to see her at least that day !! Will her Son Come ..?? Or give some blame excuse this time also for not meeting his Old Mother !!

என்று அநாதைகளாக ஆகும்
இந்த முதியோர் இல்லங்களும் !!
அநாதை விடுதிகளும் !!

A rough translation !!

When will the orphanage and oldage homes become ORPHANS ( No people ) !!

Dear Brindha,
You come up with such touching posts, kudos to you!!!
Maybe he will come, let me say that because the mother is waiting at the door of the orphanage and will he find an excuse more so for having abandoned her when she needs him. Let the mother smile in all her glory on seeing her son .Let ur prayes be answered soon, maybe we should change it to 'When will many of these insensitive children understand their parents feelings?'

Hi brindha
mothers always wait & that too without complaints. While Children start looking & waiting for their children but forget about the parents most of the time.
Beutifully written.

Hi Brindha,

Wow..............First a moving piece by an unborn child...and next this one by those elders who need to be loved like a child...Both of their voices seems to be unheard..........
Only you can put it so touchingly...
to you, for this..

Bye
