Growing up in a Tamil household, the word is not just a noun. It is an emotion, a prayer, and often the first word a child utters. When a Tamil student is asked to write an "En Amma Katturai" (Essay on My Mother) in school, it is never just a homework assignment. It is a rite of passage into understanding gratitude.

என்றாலே என் நெஞ்சு நிறைந்து விடுகிறது. உலகத்திலேயே மிகவும் இனிமையான சொல் ‘அம்மா’ என்பதுதான். என் அம்மாவின் பெயர் லதா. அவர் ஒரு வீட்டுத் தாய், ஆனால் அவரது வேலை ஒருபோதும் முடிவதில்லை. It is a rite of passage into understanding gratitude
So, the next time your teacher asks you to write "En Amma," don't just write words. Write your heartbeat in Tamil script.
