thatha
the way your glasses were always tilted
the way your smile went right up to your eyes
the way you laughed so heartily
the way you were always calm
the way you quietly sat and observed
the way you’d sit up straight with a half-smile for a photograph
the way you’d be silly with me and humour my idiocies
the way you entertained my constant click-click
the way you’d be surprised every time my camera and i would sneak up on you
the way you just went.
i’ll miss you, thatha.

Anyone could get a smile from Thatha/Appa/Athimber/Mama/Periappa or by any other name you call my appa, but only Sruti could have captured his smile and document so beautifully. To all us its nice little documentary.

Awesome!! The best (perhaps worst) part is that I can connect with it.
Still, excellent job!!
