beloved Sethumaman is no more. Om Shanti!

Yesterday morning getting a call from a cousin with this very shocking news of our beloved and respected Sethumaman (Amma's elder brother and 2nd Sister-in-law's father) passed away in his sleep. 

He for sure was a blessed person to have had such a dignified end, and another way would have been cruel to his down to earth, caring and loving nature. Jovial with chilling like smile and laughter. He was an ace badminton player and a very tall member in the family, who everyone could look upon to. I have so many fond memories with him and he will never be forgotten.

He was a sports loving person and Sunil Gavaskar was his favorite cricketer, and while he used to visit us in Chennai whenever Gavaskar used to strike a 100, it was a gala celebration at home with chicken and ice cream from Sethumaman. 
He used to also conduct badminton games at Mavillai house with lots of prices and gifts.

So many such memories, immense loss to the whole EG family.

My respects to the departed soul. May God give all the courage to Ammai, Rekechi  EdathiJr. and Anithechi for a very big irreplaceable loss.
