Amma and Anna

Veena Shivanna from Bangalore, India

Sanjay, Thanks for visiting. I took this photo when I met them last time in Oct. I had asked my dad to specifically wear this dress which he got it stictched in my marriage(safari suit). Coincidently the saree which mom is wearing in the photo is the one which I got her from my first salary.. This is about 8+ years old, which she has started wearing at home now incidently!

Girish, Thanks for the note. yes, my mother is very mild & soft. she is been an example for the wisdom , she lost her mom at her young age(hence she had to stop going to school when she went to her standard 4th). I would say my parents leads us by examples... My mom is attached to her brother so much, I would say all this Tavarina siri etc., movies are just how my amma & maava were. My maava is no more(about 18 years back he passed away), still she remembers his on all occasaions of happiness & griefs when I speak about my anna.. She tell namma Annayya...etc, Great maava annisutte, I myself can't stand upto her level to say! & even my brother may be.
I shall visit Sharu's blog. nimma ammana hesru avaLige iTTideera? Nice thought. I would see if I can name my son as my dad's name.. ;-) probably he will fight with me if I call him Shivanna(old name).. nanna maguge hesru idbeku andre so many factors... ! naama nakshatra, my hubby's choice his parent's choice...! Uff... Let me not think so soon..

I like some names specifically like Paarth, Druv, ShravaN.. They are sweet & short, names of some heorics in our epics..

Dear Sir(KNB).,

I am pleased to see your comments here. I was talking to Preeti last week & told about you. She was amazed to know that I am in touch with you still.

I am sure you would be a great parent to Manasa & Manish, you are already a great teacher!

Thanks for visiting my blog.
Best Regards,
Veena

KNB sent me an email which had these lines.. I was totally Zapped!! I have no words to say on these.... He was my lecturer at my engg, he taught me system networks(?). He went for his phD later & we missed him through out the course. He is now in singapore doing his post doctral(I think)..

Dear Veena,

I am very much thankful to you and very much impressed with your efforts of making the people understand how important parents are.

I am fortunate to have such wonderful guides and mentors (people like you, your father)in life. My hearty wishes for all your efforts. Please convey my regards to Preeti.

Bellur, Srik, Anjali, Sriharsha Decembur Stud.. Thanks for all your kind words & wishes. ! My Heartfelt experssions.
Unfortunate is that my dad isn't here to see all these & the irony is that my mom can't read & understand english.. But I am sure, my siblings will be happy to see all this...!
