Chittappa

A message from Tamilarasi

A legend in our family has passed away. Hard to believe when such iconic figure, who was a source of inspiration to many us, a know fighter, steel willed, has actually left us with memories that could be an epoch of Janarathanan.  

My memories are still fresh from the days when he frequented our house at Purasaivakkam and who amongst us can never forget his house at Montieth lane -home away from home. He played an anchor role in my wedding. His meticulous planning and the leader in him made the occasion that people even talk about today.

The bond between my dad and chittappa transcended the cousin relationship. Even when chittapa was confined to a wheel chair after the stroke, he trekked from his hospital to Apollo extending moral support and vicarious strength to the recently `by-pass` operated cousin. Such is the closeness between them that destiny chose his cousin to be the last one that he spoke to before his eventual demise.

I am eternally grateful to chittappa for being there during our times of tribulations and sharing our joy in good times.

I miss you chittappa!
