Arindhum Ariyamalum & My Grandpa


Writing this blog while I am watching the movie Arindhum Ariyamalum on TV. Good movie it is and I have seen it many times. It's a movie etched in my memory for wrong reasons though. It is best remembered for my troublesome childhood. During his last few years my Grand Father was mostly bedridden and he became a regular viewer of some of the dumbest TV serials (which I thought to be dumb and he didn't). One fine day this movie happened to be the Week End evening movie on Sun TV. I liked the songs very much and couldn't wait to watch the movie on TV. The movie started and my grandpa too watched along with me. I was totally gripped with the movie when to my surprise Grandpa asked me to swap channel during climax to DD to watch Chitti (Yes the very Chitti which was aired previously in Sun TV). I hesitated and he raised his voice in anger. I had to give up eventually and was angry with him for few weeks. These days when I watch the same movie I badly regret for the same. I realize I could have made him happy then. I never apologized to him for my bad behavior. I have realized my arrogance. I would love to tell him 'I'm sorry'. He is no more. He is a great man and realized his values and significance more in his absence than presence. I'm sorry thatha...
