The Paternal Granny; Madam K.....

..... has been reduced from the iron lady having raised 6 children, to a feeble, senile, incontinent old lady who seems to be spending her days waiting for Yama (I hate to say it but it's true).

She can hardly walk up a flight of stairs.

She can control neither her bladder nor her bowels.

She has become so weak that she moves around only twice a day (to the dining area, once for lunch and once for dinner; breakfast is usually sent to her room).

Her sense of direction and her sense of movement have grossly deteriorated.

Saddest of it all is the lack of interest my dad's siblings have about her status quo except the one she lives with at the moment (Aunt #4). I guess The High Priest and Aunt #3 are the other two exceptions because The High Priest is probably the only sibling closely involved in her welfare whilst Aunt #3 is not only living in a different state but is also ailing herself (besides, she sends money from time to time for her mother).

Of course Aunt #4 is doing a pretty decent job of taking care of her mother. But The High Priestess begs to differ, divulging to me that Aunt #4 should be doing a better job at taking care of Madam K, who is after all Aunt #4's own mother. I guess that speaks volumes of The High Priestess as she feels so badly for her Madam K although Madam K has been very difficult to her in the past (think Tamil soap drama mother-in-law vs daughter-in-law drama).

I am praying that God either restores her to a walking and talking state or, the very least, makes her 'transition' a smooth, painless and peaceful one.

She has suffered enough.

Aum Shanthi.

The Bad Guy from Mahabaratham

Nope this post isn't so much about the Hindu epic story.

It is more about the actor that plays Duryodhana a.k.a The Bad Guy in the latest re-telling of the Hindu epic via a TV-series.

The series itself has managed to stay true to story-telling but has pushed beyond lavishness with the sets, costumes and casting.

Everyone in it is freaking "cantik". I mean every actor!!!
