My mother shared a very special bond with Ahalya Ajji as both were creative people in the area of crafts. My mother regards her as one of the finest women she has known. Meera aunty is no less remarkable. She was one of the first 'working women' and a writer that I knew as a child. As it's happened, I've followed in her footsteps to become a writer myself. I guess she did influence me without her consciously trying to and my consciously seeking it. Meera Aunty and her mother in law were our neighbours on Eldams Road in the early 1970s.

Somehow I don't have that many memories of childhood, I do remember meera aunty, uncle and aunty staying in the ground floor of the flat that we used to live in when I was in 5th standard and I used to see aunty sitting and sewing away with that beautiful smile on her face. She used to talk a lot to me and also give me chocolates apart from what Meera aunty used to give me ;) I remember always putting Aunty in the category of Amma (Dadi) and Naani.. And now whenever I remember her, I always have a smile on my face. :) Hi, Its me again!

To all those Aunties and Pattyies in this world and heaven above, my namaskara! Meera I empathise with you, and believe me these bonds will nourish every moment of your life and Aunty still is there with you, every day, to give you strength and that care in abundance... <em>Thank you Shanthi for sharing your thoughts with us.
