What a beautiful piece about your mother, you have written. Reminds me of my beloved patti (who is no longer with us) in so many ways. "She believed that a righteous life, performing ones duties towards family and society was all that was necessary to please God." - is just beautiful.

Just happened to chance across this blog, and I have to say this is such a beautiful concept. Three generations of women all in one blog is lovely!

Secondly, this post is fantastic. It is true that what a child sees his/her mother do, resonates in their personality. Very beautifully written & something I'm off to go share with my mother over a cup of chai. :)

That sure did stir something deep in me!

Yes, Anon, however there are some families which understand the underlying philosophy differently, and this is our interpretation of the phrase. A richer meaning perhaps, than just wisdom?

"Nalla buddhi taranamey" means "give me wisdom", not "let me discriminate between right and wrong"

Really liked the blog. When I think about it I have absorbed so many traits from my Mom. Good parenting advice too - simple and vital - to be a good role model to our kids....

Dear aunty,

What a beautiful piece..this simple tribute to your mother reminded me of my grandma, who passed away two years back. I learnt a lot from her, as you said the mothers/ grandmothers teach without 'telling you so' but by just 'being what they are'...and I know how we (Deepa, Roopa, I and many others) are trying everyday to inculcate the things that we have learnt about 'being and life' from our respective mums to our kids....Thank God for creating mums!

It is like an unending song, Anju...As my grandmother taught my mother, so my mother teaches me, and so I teach my daughter. The legacy goes on. People don't die, they live on, in the memories of their children, and the song continues.

I often think that in countries which have lost these songs, life is very arid indeed.
