Ammachi hails from the reputed Poopallil family which is deeply enmeshed in the socio-political scenario of Kerala.Her aristrocratic birth never hampered her role as an ideal mother wife and grand mother instead added a quality that makes her linger in the memories of everyone.
Like Ruth(in the Bible)she was the strength of the family.My mother was a special recipient of her particular care.She loved playing cards and checkers with the grandchildren and would spend atleast one hour a day for family prayers.
To me she was a special friend and hours would fly by when we talked during the holidays I spent with her.She was a role model of the perfect woman we all look up to.
