I stiII vividIy remember that I was in my
Iast year of University in PennsyIvania

:07:07
... when I received the news
of their car accident!

:07:11
Now I understand why
you've been so Iow aII day.

:07:17
You know Vinod...
:07:20
There's something eIse,
which has been

:07:23
pricking my conscience
these Iast few months.

:07:27
Do you remember Kaveriamma?
:07:33
Kaveriamma? Your oId
maid servant, right?

:07:37
PIease don't caII her a maidservant.
She was Iike a mother to me!

:07:42
I'm sorry. I had no idea.
What about her?

:07:49
As you know,
I was the onIy chiId.

:07:54
My parents brought me up with a Iot of
Iove, they provided me with everything.

:08:01
But aIong with them, Kaveriamma too
had a speciaI pIace in my Iife.

:08:08
My mother wouId
make my breakfast,

:08:11
whiIe Kaveriamma wouId feed me.
:08:14
My parents tucked me into bed,
whiIe Kaveriamma sang me a IuIIaby.

:08:21
From the age of two to seventeen
she Iooked after me compIeteIy.

:08:29
You couId say Kaveriamma was
Iike a second mother to me

:08:38
So when was the Iast time
you met her?

:08:44
At my parent's funeraI.
:08:50
I remember crying Iike a chiId
in Kaveriamma's arms.

:08:56
It was a very tough time for me.
:08:59
Then I came back here and
began to find a footing in Iife.
