24th of July 2010...will always be memorable for us...for those gems of tears which were trying to come out... of extreme happiness...from the eyes of the man who has achieved so much in his life...our appa...my dad-in law. It was the happy occasion and a proud moment for all of us who are bound to the tree of his heart as the book named"Akshaya" was released amidst packed crowd of his contemporaries, teachers, collegues, friends and family...as a mark of respect to him and his undebated spotless life, his sincerity, dedication and the selfless work he has done all through his life in the field of Kannada literature, especially in the fight for its glory and upliftment. Ther were many speeches and words of appreciations and felicitations of crowning glory enveloped around him...but our mind, heart, senses and soul could experience the beautiful tunes of satisfaction playing in his heart. He is a true achiever in all terms and circles of life.. a milestone difficult to achieve but a guide stone which is really humble. Amma(my mom in law) sitting next to him was apt to share the honours...they really looked like Shiva-Parvathi who wer sitting there blessing us and gracing us. What a moment...!!!
The word Akshaya really looks tailor made for him. Akshaya means...that which never empties, vanishes, diminishes, ceases.....we call Tumbida Koda in Kannada...which means a filled pot which always can give you something...but at the same time maintain its quality and quantum intact. God bless him with happiness and health which have no limits. May his contribution to literature continue its journey towards unreached tops...and may his blessings keep inspiring us to contribute our part when our turn comes. The day which also marked the birthday of his beloved grandson Rachu...was an added occassion for fortified celebrations for him and of course for all of us...iceing on the cake as we can call it....
The day was really AKSHAYA....
Waiting for many such works from appa.....i sign off telling...
"Well done appa....We love you and are proud to be branches connected to you...."
