Centenary  birthday  in heaven on 8^th  December 2020

(humble wishes, Raja)

One  hundred   years  back  in the southern village,

Of  a great  agrahara  of  Puthucode(new line) was born,

A gem  like baby  to a very  rich man   and he   thought,

He is going   to be adventurous  and called  him “Veera mani”

 

Veera  mani   was sent  to  a high  school  in  near by  Alathur,

To continue  his studies in high  school   and when  he told,

That  travelling  was difficult  , his father  hired  a house,

And appointed  a good cook  , so that his son was  comfy

 

But  Veera mani   was  interested more in  foot ball  rather than,

Studies  , though  he loved  studying  Malayalam,

And      he  left   his school  without  informing  his family  ,

And reached  Mumbai,  and lived there   with a friend

 

He joined  in a very small  job   and was struggling  to live,

And did in form his father  about   where  he is ,

After  some time  his rich father  searched  for a bride,

And located   a girl called  Pappu , who had just finished high school

 

Pappu   was little  wondering   about a  non SSLC  boy,

And her  grand father  informed  her  that  Veeramani  was very rich,

And could   comfortably live   for   three  generations  ,

Even if he  did  not   earn  any thing   at all.

 

Pappu   did  marry  Veeramani   and came   to Mumbai,

And had  to live  in her  elder  sister’s  home  for some time.

Time   as usual  marched   and Veeramanis    took a chawl,

For rent   and  the  march  of  family  building started.

 

Rajamani  was born   and   was  rapidly  followed by Ramani,

, Indu, Raji  , Mohan   and Nanu and they  did buy  a flat ,

In chembur  called  the Nava gita  and moved   there.

And to all who  knew them , it   was  the heaven on earth

 

I  have known lot of people   every where  but  I never knew,

A  simple hilarious Veeramani and majestic kind  and royal Pappu,

They  were  simply great and one by  one  the birds  left ,

But  the  diamond  binding  was   there  for each  with them.

 

Their children   enjoyed  looking after  them   till ripe old age,

And  one by one   they  left   this world  , definitely to heaven.

To  my Akka  and Athimbar  on the centenary  birthday    of my Athimbar,

I wish   to tell them a  very  very  centenary  birthday  in heaven.
