All his life he’d been told that he should work hard and become famous, rich, successful. He did and became all that in a far away land. Now they complain bitterly about growing old alone.
Ammani.Beautiful.......My parents want me to go to US and I left my job in India and came here.....now they are feeling alone.....supberb...U told my 25 year story in 2 lines.......amazing
Ammani, hope you saw the article by Ramya in THE HINDU today on blogger meets (you are also mentioned :-)). Ok here is another attempt at translating this:
nice, Ammani u told a truth beautifully. but fact is that no one full fill one,s expectations. it can be full filled but without expectation. mky_journalist@yahoo.com
My first time here too. Ammani.. you have said a story that I don't want to become true in my life. I have seen it happen to many people around me and hopefully I will learn from what I see around me.
Thennavan, excellent translation.. Maybe you should start a specialized translated column for Ammani's Tamil readers .
Ammani....fantastic...first time on your blog, i'm hooked reading the archives, late for work, forgotten my hunger in your delicious drawls about vengaya sambhar, milagu kuzhambu,thayir sadham...there's so much in common, madras, college, living far away...in the UK........i'm almost wondering if our paths have crossed before!!
wow, and hats off to be able to write that beautifully. keep 'em coming.....
clearly, fame and money does not seem to be everything..i wonder why people still lust after it. it seems now, money more than a necessity has become a passion. But we repent only later.
Now I am a trifle confused. Are we blaming the son here or also blaming the parents? If I am not wrong, the blame is on both sides. Not that they are the same. Nevertheless...

the worst part is that our parents wanted us to settle here! but they dont even consider that as an option. And still complain abt being lonely!
very good and very true..
