Already few women were waiting for her there. Tthuk!! tthuck.. she walked in to the fields, checked the soil and gave advice. Inspected seeds of those gourds.
Straight away we walked atleast 5 kms unde r sun. I gasped and stopped for few seconds in between. She didn't. Finally we reached much to my happiness.

I asked Sundarama “what you will do with that much butter milk?
I kept blank face.
She smiled and said. “Since I live alone, it's to tell other neighbours I am fine. I got up. Those flowers and Rangavalli convey that message. Otherwise they will be worried and leave their work to find out how I am.
Sundarama said, it's for farm labourers. Butter is made in to ghee and given to pregnant women and toddlers. Grandma has two buffalos in the farm. But, don't sell milk and other things.
But, she told them her farm produce is more than enough for her.
Moreover they can relax from their stressful life if they come here than making my life stressful there.In between I do visit them anyway.

She told her children she wants an equal share and kept her share of farm land. Children sold their shares and settled in the cities of their choice..in between they come and visit her. They are even ready to send money whenever she needs.

That women made rounds around front and back yard. Already lots of different , different birds landed there and enjoying their morning feed served by grand ma.

Around 3′clock we came back. I was served two coconuts in between.

By the time I turned around to look for her,

‘ I know , without any intimation to you when she brought all of us here , itself I understood her. But, she is good hearted “I said looking at my friend who is busy making swings with coir rope!!
After, some time, exactly at sunrise time, a woman came to help her. I thought, she might have called her since we are too many to feed. She brought fresh milk almost may be 4 to five litres. This much for grand Ma? I wondered.

Long post.
All those lands are tilled and kept ready . Bottle gourd, and other gourds are grown there. Separately on one piece of land betel leaves are grown on long thin trunks of trees.
Early morning 4'. Clock. Some water sounds and some chanting, some karrr, karrrr sounds I heard..
Why do you have to be 18+ to go live on TikTok?
‘Then do you know what these neighbours said? “ She asked me with with an happy face.
More than fifty years I stayed here in this house. Let me go off from here. Kids force sometimes. But, let me see!
How simple but powerful way of telling something about their welfare to neighbours!!
Two days stay it was.
My friend took me to a place once. It's her grandmother ‘s house. Me and other friends as well.
I have not seen her plucking them.
In fact all our villages have only those types of houses at that time. Very rarely you find cement roofed ones.
She said when asked ,grown up buds she collected at night itself. Morning time lot of insects will be there on plants. Before sun she should not disturb them!! It's against ‘prakriti niyama.” rules of nature. After sun comes only we should pluck flowers butnit will be too late for her.
May not be suitable for present day cities.
That lady plucked some vegetables. Roasted some sweet potatos on coal stove.
Grand maa was doing namaskar to the main door of the compound wall. Started sweeping in front of the compound wall. Already finished sweeping the front yard. Spraying water with mug. A fragile appreaing strong lady.
That village is around 30 kms from the town where we all stay.
There was a small room next to the well. May be changing room. After bath She changed in to dry clothes there. Rinsed the wet clothes and put them on clothes line. While chanting something throwing some grains here and there in between small plants and under the coconut trees.
Just like that she took all of us there. No particular reason. Since it's not very far our parents also agreed.
Cut vegetables and gave her. Both sat drinking coffee chit chatting. Later that woman cleaned the house, mopped it. Washed grandmother’s saree with detergent and again spread it on the cloth line.
She replied with a smile. ‘’Ammalu!( Dear).in this world there is no permanent happiness, richness, sadness or poverty. It's purely depends on how you want to look at it.
I assured her I know. I grew up with my grandmother.
The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.
Asking Grand ma about some thing and Grand maa was advising them. They left keeping their things there for drying. Evening they will come and collect.
New place..I couldn't sleep. Especially on mats!! we are some 10 girls. All of us wanted to stay in the same room. Very big rooms those are. But, given mats since there were not that many mattresses.
She said lying on one mat. Let me take rest for one or two hours. Then we will go at evening to the lemon trees!
I have seen good crop days, lot of money in hands , sudden rains, crop loss, children growing up, leaving this place one by one, husband leaving this world, many friends of my age I lost, many young women become friends also.
She smiled but didn't reply. Took little butter in to a small silver Bowl and kept that infront of lord Krishna's photo. Kept some ‘’Mandaram 🌺 flowers “.
Formal education will make you earn a good living. No doubt in that. But, knowledge gained out of experience, self education will make you a fortune , lucky.
I asked her, are you happy? You feel contented?
Grand maa said smiling. “God blessed me with enough, I can afford to give them.”
My friend stays with her parents in a small town because of schol and college for her and her brother. Just Like all of us.
Said around 5′ in the evening she will visit few lemon trees in the back yard and pick up fallen fruits.Interested can go with her.
I peeped first through window.
The only real security is having ability to earn some people who would stand by you till your end.”
She started churning the curds for butter. I asked her. She is alone. How much butter and ghee she needs!!?
The richness of life is not having money, having more memories which makes our heart happy. Having less nightmares and painful memories is richness of life. I have good memories which stops me going anywhere.
I laughed in my heart. Too late? What she is going to do in the entire day at her age?
Straight away she went to her puja room. Finished her puja within minutes.
She gave me the powder bowl and showed the places where and all to put. I completed my task.
Cut few more papaya fruits for our gang.
‘Maamma garu!! We can not fill your loss. Can not replace your children but if you decide to stay here we promise, we will take care of you like your own children.” they said.
But, who is alive here to know others welfare !!!?? Mortgaged future, work load that blurrs difference between day and night swallowed lives here long back. Just left us alive for name sake.
She replied with a smile. “You just ask like my second granddaughter. This girl, your class mate is still a child only. Prasuna is younger to her but very matured.”
Ok. Let me come back .
If money is hope for independence you will never have it. “Lakshmi is chanchalam’. It may come and go like water in coconut.
Some other farmers are stopping and greeting her in between, chatting for some time and going to attend their work. The entire land to the extent our eyes can see is full of farm land only with different crops.
They have to buy everything there. Little leftovers also they keep it and eat next day. Here, nothing is left. Many people come and take away if I say one word. I can feed whatever amount I want to neighbours, temples, kids like you and all.
6 feet height compound wall. A roofed wooden door to enter the house. Kept two flowers to that outside door also at both sides.
She said, “what you are seeing is a fraction of the land which we had once. I kept this for me and gave away everything to the children and that temple.
Suddenly I remembered my dad's words.
grand ma said, ‘’Sundarama, (that woman’s name ) Today my grand daughter and her friends came. Take this buttermilk with you as usual but bring back some thick curds.
Then to my surprise a group of women came. A portion of the front yard was cemented around Tulasi kota.
I asked her, in side the house it's ok atleast. Why out side of compound wall? Those flowers and all?
They kept so many things for drying on that cemented floor.
