Dear Kugan
Please accept my heartiest condolences.
Your grandma is a blessed soul that's why she didn't stay long after she lost her independence. Surely she is very happy now.
Take care.

Dear Dev, Selviem, Shanthy and Mayaa, thanks for your kind words.
Shanthy you are right, we employed 3 nurses to take turns to look after her. She was well except that she was bed ridden.
We could see her tears when ever the nurses cleaned her.
I was always by the side when ever she was fed or cleaned.
The nurse suggested we buy a ruffle mattress for her.
She looked at me and shooke her head.
The next day morning she was fine.
At 3.pm she started to slip, and before the ambulance came
she breathed her last in my arms at 4.pm.
I managed to whisper in her ears "Om Nama Shivaya" many times before the nurse confirmed that she is gone.
I think she gave up and did not want to fight to live.
She was a great soul. We all miss her alot.
Thanks. kugan98
Dear Selviem,
I have a mushroom pepper fry.
Also the mysore masala dosa.
Both the recipes I will post a bit later with pictures.
I will be done with the prayers this week.
So I will be free from next week.
Take care of your health Selviem
Love Kugan98.
