Amma's initial reaction when she saw herself on the hoarding in the heart of Trivandum city, you may see it here. In the pretext of shopping I went with Achan and Amma and then this video happened. For those who don't know what happened, sharing here the original post. YEY ! My Mom standing tall in a thousand square feet hoarding at MG Road, Trivandrum. Once when I and Amma was coming out from karikkkakam temple, we saw a large hoarding of Pothys featuring Nithya Menon. Amma praised her beauty and said, it is because she looks that gorgeous that she is being featured in that hoarding to which I said, 'you are more gorgeous than her Amma.' She jokingly told, 'then some day when you want to advertise a product feature me in there.' When my Amma wishes for something, how can I not let that happen when I am alive. So, I decided to make this mother's day special for her. I was very particular that I wanted the hoarding at the hub of Trivandrum City, and due to elections almost every billboard was booked. Being me I would never give up and atlast I managed to get one, right on the busiest street in Trivandrum, the business hub, MG road, just next to Big bazaar and Pazhavangadi temple. I took amma and acha today evening in pretext of shopping and while we passed the hoarding I pointed to the hoarding told Acha that 'next life you should marry a woman like that, because I want someone like that as my mom in my next life'. I could see amma look at it totally amazed, a drop of tear coming from her eyes, when I read out the letter for her on the board, standing below it. I know she felt special and it was the most priceless feeling in the world for me, that even master card can't buy. The pic isn't that clear but in real you can read that letter from even quarter kilometer away. This is the letter for her in the hoarding. Dear Amma, Just like people who buy Rolls Royce, even if any car would serve the purpose. Just like people who buy Rolex, even if any watch can tell time. I too believe in flaunting my blessings. Thank you for believing in me when no one did. I wanted the world to know that I am a proud son using the sky as a canvas but since that couldn't be done, I chose the next big thing, this hoarding. You are my most priceless blessing Amma, my brand ambassador, my pride, my honour, my mom... Happy Mothers Day and a very happy Birthday, to the most mesmerizing woman in my life. May you smile like this forever. അമ്മയുടെ സ്വന്തം എഴുത്തുകാരാൻ, അമ്മയുടെ സ്വന്തം അഴകിയരാവണൻ - Praveen P. Gopinath https://www.facebook.com/incompleteman
