I was thinking a lot about this man today He is my grandfather (my mother’s father), the only one among my grandparents whom i haven’t seen. Whenever I talk about him i use ‘Muthachan’ to refer him. Muthachan was a great admirer of life and beauty of earth. He wanted to live a thousand years if possible. According to my mother he is the best father ever lived in this world. He loved his children more than anyone could love. You may have a difference in opinion but my mother never agrees.. He died when my mother was 13 in a car accident. Of my grandparents the one whom i love the most is my grandmother (Amooma, Muthachan’s wife). She used to say that if Muthachan were alive it would have been him. Muthacha, you live in my dreams, in my thoughts, forever .. 
I was brought up by my grand parents. I lost my grandfather 5 years back
He knew me much better than my parents!!! He was 97 when he left us. He loved me very much in spite of the fact that I was the eldest grandson. Now I used to tell my cousines who are 2-3 years old “We too had a grand father!!! A great man who had great respect for mankind”
Was he in Police/Army?

Nice to know that you read my blog.

Is there any particular reason which made you think about your Muthachan on day before yesterday. I mean his birthday or something else.
This post made me think of my grandfather(Amma’s father) too. Even though I’ve not seen him, I’m really proud to be his grand daughter. He was a great freedom struggler who had been in jail for 14 months and a recipient of ‘Thaamrapathra’ from the then prime minister Indira Gandhi.

There is a reason, but it has nothing to do with dates..
