He loved to live with all relation and lived to love with a child,s heart and mind-tribute by Ram

The write  up on Muthkumar -part 2 

Ram continues: Thereafter we met quite often. During those days Muthu would spend his time mostly in the office of  Arivumathi( a celebrity in the literary film worldwho became his elder brother and mentor).Tambaram ,being my place the train link from kodambakkam to Tambaram  effortlessly brought him safe to me and united him with me .In that short train travel  he will enjoy sitting on the door steps. Once we enter the train  we will move to the opposite side and sit near the door dangling our legs. We will  closely observe whatever is moving or running on the way and discuss varied topics. One day when there was a scorching  heat there were some drizzles and at that time  a funeral procession was going on.Muthu’s immediate response was:” when a man dies regardless of summer heat it will also rain.”In his final journey too ,it rained  even while sun was shining.

Although Muthu had  a mind of a vagabond,desired to be amidst   forests and caves and his  ardent wish  was to sleep by looking at the stars, his roads will always  end up  towards his home only .in his long journey of his short life without the presence of mother ,all the relations provided the solace and he had immense love  and incredible respects and regard for  them.Muthu  was a beloved son;a beloved brother; beloved grandson; beloved father; beloved husband;he had so much love for his son and thinking about  him  he would sometime stand  nervous and uneasy and imprison himself into  the syllable of the word  Appa (father) .when he got his daughter eight months ago, he introduced her as his  mother borne to him.Thi is how he heaped his enormous love on the relations. I think sincerely that during his living period he has done full justice to the family as a son , as brother as grandson, as a father and as a husband.

The simplest pleasures that he derived from his circle of relations ,he always cherished and celebrated. His longing for their love perpetually and his craving for affection like a childs’ mind are abundantly scattered(recorded) in many serials of essays written in Ananda Vikatan. (To be continued)
