| Karthiedathy (in Black) with my mom. |
Different
phases of your life feature different characters. Some would have developed a
sticky bond which though clings to you with brutal severity, loses its
clinginess…time wipes away the glue with surprising ease and they don the garb
of mere acquaintances or even strangers. Sometimes you would have been so dependent
on them and they would have eased a lot
of creases on the tapestry that is life....BUT
you can’t obstruct the sweet gift of forgetfulness that time and
circumstances bestows on you. This is
Karthiedathy..edathy is a term used in Kannur, for an elder sister. I met her when
my father died. She had come to offer condolences. Had never met her before, she
introduced herself to us, and said that fifty eight years back, she was a daily visitor here..
