Ponampalam Murugesu (Sept.4.1915-Jan.22.2009) - My Late GrandPa

This video was uploaded so my immediate and extended family can have some reminder of My late Grandfather(Aiya). This video was taken a few months before his death and unfortunately is the only video we have of him alive. In this video he was 93 years old and I was 23.

His name was Ponampalam Murugesu and he was a Police Officer/Sergeant in Sri Lanka. Born on September the 4th 1915 and passed away January.22nd 2009.I was very privileged and blessed to have him throughout my life and I will never forget what he has taught me. I know he is looking at me from above, shining light whenever Im in the dark.

My grandfather singing Thevarams(religious hindu songs) and me playing the Miruthangum(drum) was something we always did. Whenever I was stressed out from school, work or if I wanted to relax and chill out with my grandpa, I would ask him to sing. As he got older (90-93) he would begin to forget things, and him singing Thevarams, although challenging was a great way for him to exercise his mind to help him remember things. I always thought he did an excellent job.

Thank-you Aiya for everything - We Miss You,
