Annakutty mama for the US

We have it from his son and daughter-in-law - Sreedhar and Geetha - that Annakutty mama is likely to visit them in the US later this year. Sreedhar, a chartered accountant based in Edison, New Jersey, has been asking his father over to thier place, ever since his family moved to the US from Seychelles some years ago.

And Annakutty mama,who has a 10-year US visa he acquired over two years back,hasn't yet brought himself to making the trip. Whenever I have raised the matter mama has been telling me that his US trip was very much on the cards.
At our last meeting in Pollachi,in early June,he told me,"God willing,we would meet in the US".

We -my wife and I - have been in the US since mid-June. When I phoned Sreedhar, from my son Ravi's place in San Ramon, California, his wife Geetha said she planned to go to India with her daughters - Anjana and Anushree - later this month, and, on their return to the US in early September, Annakutty mama might join them. Geetha mentioned that her daughters planned to spend their school vacation doing community service in Mumbai. Both girls are known to be service-minded. I recall Geetha telling us about how her daughters gifted their lock of hair at a fund-raiser for cancer research.
Geetha and Sreedhar said they would very much want Annakutty mama to spend time with his grand-daughters in the US. Speaking of grand-daughters, Annakuttty mama would have occasion to visir another grand-daughter - Puja - later this year in California.Puja,who is Annakutty mama's daughter Maheshwari's daughter, is joining the university in San Francisco this August to pursue higher studies in physio-therapy. She has graduted from Mangalore medical college.

Maybe, Puja's presence in California would bring Annakutty mama to visit Ravi, Meera and grandsons - Sidharth and Nikhil in San Ramon. And Puja, during her stay in San Francisco, would have someone to visit when she feels like a weekend with family or some home-made food. Besides the southie food, Puja can count on some Punjabi dishes made by Sidharth/Nikhil's neighbourhood nani Preetam Kaur.
