My parents are now happily settled in Coimbatore after 50 years of living in Chennai. The change and shifting was no way easy, but the end results are positive and in all angles and thoughts, we have achieved what was intended. They have settled in.
This house is Ashokettan's gift for parents for the years to come. Achan and Amma are having a great time there with many friends and now the complaint is that they do not have enough time. Its sometimes nice when they say that they are with sme neighbors or doing something and that they will back after they are done with that. It feels so nice that they are occupied at something or the other. That was what we all wanted, for them to be happy and to know that they are happy, makes all the sons and DIL's more happy. Over all, a hapy family...
Parents are very occupied with maintaing the plants, Achan takes care of the lawn, potted plants and basically to all plants in the front side of the house and Amma to a small vegetable garden she is developing. She has in the back garden some "Cheera", "Methi", Curry leaves for now and in a short while she would be having a small lemon plant, coriander, pumpkin, chilli etc. They are exploring what all they can grow.
I am eagerly looking forward to the occassion when the full family can be together under one roof for a get together and barbacue if possible with some chill beer and what not to tag along. . . in all probablity there would be another new member in the family by then, probably few days / weeks or months old. yeah, I am refering to Premi and my Kiddo, expected sometime in Jan'09.
