THE PORTRAIT OF LADY

MY GRANDMOTHER , LIKE EVERYBODY'S  GRANDMOTHER, WAS AN OLD WOMAN. SHE HAD  BEEN  OLD  AND WRINKLED FOR  THE 16YEARS THAT I HAD KNOWN HER  . PEOPLE SAID THAT SHE HAD ONCE BEEN YOUNG AND PRETTY AND HAD EVEN HAD A HUSBAND,BUT  THAT WAS HARD TO BELIVE.

SHE HAD ALWAYS BEEN SHORT AND FAT AND SLIGHTLY BENT. HER FACE  WAS A CRISS-CROSS OF WRINKLES RUNNING FROM EVERYWHERE TO  EVERYWHERE.SHE  COULD  NEVER  HAVE  PRETTY;BUT SHE WAS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL.

SHE  HOBBLED  ABOUT  THE  HOUSE  IN  SPOTLESS  WHITE  WITH  ONE HAND  RESTING  ON HER WAIST  TO  BALANCE  HER STOOP  AND THE  OTHER TELLING  THE  BEADS  OF  HER ROSARY HER SILVER  LOCKS  WERE  SCATTERED  UNTIDILY  OVER HER  PALE , PUCKERED  FACE, AND HER  LIPS  CONSTANTLY MOVED IN INAUDIBLE  PRAYER .  YES , SHE WAS  BEAUTIFUL. SHE WAS LIKE  THE WINTER  LANDSCAPE  IN  THE  MOUNTAINS , AS  EXPANS  OF  PURE , WHITE SERENITY, BREATHING PEASE AND CONTENTMENT.

MY GRANDMOTHER AND  I WERE GOOD FRIENDS .WHEN EVER  SHE GO TO TEMPLE  SHE  SPREAD SOME CHAPATHES TO THE DOGS . AND SEEDS TO THE BIRDS . SHE  TELL STORIES LIKE JHANSI RANI LAKSHMI BAI, RUDRAMMA DEVI ,SWAMI VIVAKA NANDHA  ETC . SHE ALWAYS TELL ME THAT ,DONT BE FEAR IF PROBLEMS HAD CAME . YOU AND DO ANYTHING AND EVERY THING .  IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM TELL US WE ALL TRY TO SALVE IT, SHE SAYS.

I AM INSPIRE A VAST FROM HER STORIES SUCH AS JHANSI KI RANI ,RANI RUDRAMMA DEVI,SWAMI VEVAKA NANDHA . I BELEIVE THAT, I AM A WINNER, ALL POWERS ARE WITH IN ME , I CAN DO ANY THING AND EVRRY THING.
SHE IS MY INSPIRATION ......
SHE ENCOURAGE MY TO STUDY  BY TELLING STORIES .WHEN I FAILED IN EXAM SHE ENCOURAGES ME A LOT .

WE HAVE TO SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT ,AND ANIMALS,AND BIRDS  .........BY GIVING CARE TO THEM.
