Geetha Quotes

I was able to leave the constraints of myself and ascend into another, more brilliant, more beautiful self, a self to whom this day was dedicated, and around whom the world, represented by my cousins putting flowers in my hair, draping the palu, seemed to revolve. It was a self magnified, like the goddesses of the Sinhalese and Tamil cinema, larger than life; and like them, like the Malini Fonsekas and the Geetha Kumarasinghes, I was an icon, a graceful, benevolent, perfect being upon whom the adoring eyes of the world rested.

When I was in high school, we were performing the geetha nataka, the opera Lava–Kusha. I was playing the role of Sita. Suddenly, I was afflicted with laryngitis and entirely lost my voice on the day of the show. Amma said, ‘Malu, do not worry. Just lip sync to the lyrics, I will be your playback singer.’ That day, Amma gave me her voice so well that everyone thought I was singing. Amma would come up with solutions to problems with such spontaneity. Anyone else would have cancelled the play when the lead character lost her voice, but not my Amma. I even managed to bag the first prize for my role as Sita. Similarly, on another occasion, I came down with measles just before my school exams, and was unable to read because my eyes were burning. Amma read out my textbooks to me so that I could pass the exams. She was so dependable. I was a very sober girl from a very young age. Amma used to poke fun at me, saying, ‘Malu, you are my mother-in-law, not my daughter.’ Although I found her cheery exuberance excessive at times, we had a very close relationship.
