For Amma With Love
(A Translation)
Madhurikkum Ormakal (Malayalam) was written by Sreedevi Appukuttan Warrier and was printed in April 2019 for limited reading within family circles.
The book is a celebration of the life of Devaki Devi, Sreedevi's mother, as seen through the daughter's eyes. The narrative covers the journey of young Devaki from the time she enters the Kottathala Warriem as a young bride and goes on to cover not only her trials and tribulations but also her triumphs that stem from her unwavering faith in the Lord Krishna.
Special and heartfelt thanks to my two editors.
Heena Shukla, my bosom friend of over two decades, for her invaluable assistance with moulding the shape, flesh and form of the narrative.
Anushree Balachandran, my niece for continuing to go over the text with a fine-tooth comb, for ensuring accuracy and authenticity in the vernacular vocabulary and for all her valuable inputs.
