Even if a doctor or an engineer dies at home, he cannot stop going to work. That’s all I do. Traveling is part of my job. Many are unavoidable. My father made me who I am. I fulfill my duty to my father through the music he has achieved. But I have nothing to say to those who say that my father is walking around after his death. Outsiders don’t know the tough times my family and I are going through. We can overcome many things through travel. Most of the travel I do is part of my job. Anyone can say anything.”
Amrita Suresh is one of the most attacked people on social media. Amrita needs no special introduction. A singer that Malayali people know like a child in their own home. Travel lover Amrita and her daughter spent this time in South Goa. “Before, father, mother, Abhirami, Mol (Pappu) and I had also gone to Goa, but then Pappu was a very small child, looking at it this way, this was her first trip to Goa, that time it was North Goa, this time we went to South Goa” – Amrita started. “I am a solo traveller. A lot of traveling is done alone. So I will go and note down the places I like and come back with Pappu again.”
Traveling is part of my job
Our father is the reason for this journey. My father died in April. My father was the one who stood in front of everything. He used to look ahead to anything at home, whether it was a trip or a celebration. A fatherless space is nothing for us. Pappu was very close to his father, he used to go for walks in the evening, do whatever she wanted at home and even put her to sleep. That’s why his death has affected me a lot. We went to Goa when we got leave thinking that there should be a change in the baby’s condition. But even that became unbearable for many people. How many bad comments everyone makes on social media. I even said that I was celebrating my father’s death.
If a death occurs in a doctor’s home, does he continue to work? I did the same. After his father’s death, he had to travel a bit more and did a tour of Canada. I was able to get all these opportunities because my father was with me. He filled me with music. He is my and Abhirami’s guru. It is not possible to stay away crying instead of singing or to close your eyes and not see anything in the places you go. In fact, traveling can help us overcome obstacles and change our thoughts. I got a few chances like that but mom and papu were at home. Aren’t they also supposed to overcome this difficult phase? Pappu still wakes up at night thinking of his father. I went on a journey with Molle thinking that there should be a change in this situation.
Traveling with my daughter is an experience, not a trip
When I go with Pappu, I always choose trips that give us more experiences instead of walking around with a cough. Every trip presents us with sights that we don’t see and don’t know about. We learn many things while traveling. Another thing to pay attention to is to avoid places where there are Malayalees. Wherever we meet, our natives treat us with love. But there is such a thing as privacy. So I mostly choose places where there aren’t many people who know us. I have acquaintances in North Goa. So our journey was made to South Goa. Like everyone else, we also want to eat from that shop and go to the beach. I want my daughter to know that too. As well as going to places that are more in harmony with nature. Our children today are growing up in a world of technology with no connection to nature. Then I do trips with Pappu that include that. On this trip, we did kayaking and trekking, and we came back after seeing the Miracle Bubble lake that bubbles up if you clap your hands.
The resort where we stayed in Goa was the place where I, my father, Abhirami and Pappu used to come. This trip was planned when we felt that Pappu also needed to get out of the pain of his father’s separation. This is one of the most mind-blowing trips I’ve taken recently. When I went to the program in Canada, I saw Niagara Falls. It is a wonder and a sight to behold. It is seen on the day of returning home. Thinking that I might not be able to see it again, I went to see it alone at five o’clock in the morning before everyone got up. However, this Goan trip with Pappu was the most heartwarming trip for me.
Traveling with a child is like a package
All trips with Pappu are done with great care and preparation. If you’re going somewhere cold, bring a bag with everything from extra jackets to cough and fever medicine. There are a lot more things to take care of when traveling with children than when adults travel. I often plan trips with Pappu only to places where I have a friend or an acquaintance who will be there if I call beyond a call. I will keep track of all the journeys to Pappu from departure to return. Similarly, at least two people are always connected on the phone. I was traveling by car in Goa. GPS was on all the time then. So we don’t go anywhere with her with our eyes closed. If we are alone, we can run and walk anywhere. Even if a vehicle breaks down, we will handle it. But it can’t be like that when you have a child. Always take care to be safe.
Egypt and Disneyland
There is no such thing as my favorite place. My every journey is like every mood. However, Egypt is a place that has been desired since childhood but has yet to be visited. When I was young, I watched Mummy Returns, and then I read and saw everything about Egypt, but until now I have not been able to go there. I still love to hear all the stories about that country and the mummies and the pyramids with the curiosity of a little boy. So if I had a bucket list destination it would be Egypt.
And the place she wants to go with her daughter is Disney Land. She has to go see it before she grows up. I went there when I was almost 20 years old. There’s something we love to see when we’re kids, and that’s Disney Land. It is the dream destination of any cartoon watching kids. You are never too old to go there. Anyone who goes there will become children. Since I went there and experienced it, I want to show it to Pappu too.
