AMMA MUDALIAR
from Dead Air with KMRN MDLR Hosted by Kumaran Mudaliar
Amma Mudaliar is my mommy who I was super excited to interview! She grew up in the temperately cool hilltop city of Coonoor India, and lived in in extended household that included her grandmother, father, uncles, aunts, siblings, and cousins. During her childhood, she would often go to her family run Mani's cloth store where her uncle would give her money for snacks that she and her little brother would eat while watching the city goings-ons. At her school run by nuns, some of whom were from England, her favorite subject was math. Never a dull moment , her life was busy with family, friends, and school. At college, she majored in physics. Afterwards, she taught physics at several colleges for four years until one day a caravan of people including my father arrived at her family's home. Within two weeks, she and my father were married and she soon found herself transitioning to a markedly different way of life in the United States. After the glorious arrival of her children and their later enrollment in school, she started learning the ropes of my father's private practice and eventually managing all aspects of his practice.
