My mother , the most unbiased, loving, forgiving, caring, and giving, in my life was valued , celebrated, and will always be cherished.
*Valued... because she was my true god next to me in the form of a human.
*Celeberated... because she was my festival. My teacher. My true wellwisher. And my 1st fan. Loved the worst of my work as well.
*Cherished.... because she is just a beautiful memory now.

I have no words to express the pain i feel right now, I'm unable to accept the Void nor come to terms with what has happened. Everything changed in 24 hours.

Every morning, the 1st buzz on my phone would be here text, aound 5.30am Wishing me, "Good morning kanda,,,," . I received her last txt on Friday, 18th October. I didn't see her text the next day when i woke up while at BB. 1st time in so many years. I did send her my morning txt and wanted to cal and enquire if everything was OK. Discussions of BB's Saturday episode took away all time, and just before I went onto the stage, i got a cal saying she was hospitalized. I immediately called my sister who was at th hospital, spoke to th doctors and went on to the stage. A little later, when i was on stage, a message was passed on to my people that she was critical. This helplessness is something I experienced for the first time. Here, I am handling the Saturdays episode ; dealing with several issues, and a fear in mind about my mother.
If I yet sailed through that episode shoot with calm, I owe it to my mother for having taught me how to stay with the job I have accepted amidst all chaos. A principle to be precise.
I rushed to the hospital after the Saturdays episode shoot, and my mother was put on to a ventilator minutes before I reached. I couldn't see my mother while she was still conscious. She did put up a fight before she gave in on Sunday early morning. Everything,,,,, just about everything changed in just a few hours.
I don't know how to undo this. I don't know how to accept this reality, that has hit us. My mother, the one who gave such a tight hug before I left for the shoot, was no more within the next few hours.
It's a hard-hitting truth that will take its own time to penetrate into our minds and hearts.
My mother was a great soul, and I will miss her. I for sure know yesterday, being an auspicious day was nature's and God's choice to take her from this earth.

I thank each and everyone, who turned up to pay respects to her. It was indeed very kind of you all. I thank all those who reached out to me through texts and tweets.

My mother ,,, the most precious pearl of my life is gone. I'm sure she has reached a place filled with peace.

"Rest well, amma,,,
I love you, and i miss you terribly, "

Deepu.
