Ashok chose to beat the Chennai heat and fondly recall his friendship with Appa, by wearing Dad's lungis.
When I would go to the store to pick up Appa's lungis, I was always asked, whether the person who was going to wear them, was old and was then shown, sober shades.
Grinning widely, I would respond,
'young at heart' and proceed to buy lungis, in all the colours of the rainbow,
Orange, Yellow, Purple ....
the cursing, the cheering, the discussions -
bright, happy, loud, colorful moments,
just like the lungis Appa wore!
Now Ashok needs to learn to keep his lungi on, without allowing it to slip down!
Love You, Appa!
