| My amma prepared Chakka Varatti for me to carry along after my vacation. |     | 
| On the other hand, one thanaweya amma student said that the power is in the people's hands this year. |     | 
| Great respect is shown the father or abba, and mother, amma. |     | 
| Mohan's thoughts have drifted back to India, his homeland, to Kaveri Amma, the woman who was his dai and looked after him when he was growing up. |     | 
| The photograph that Amma, the children and I chose was that of a handsome but mellowed thirty-five-year-old. |     | 
| Amma Asante, who directed Belle, the period drama which starred a mixed-race lead in Gugu Mbatha-Raw, believes the explanation for the Oscars whitewash could be down to industry trends. |     | 
| A volunteer I spoke to at length, Julia Cohen, explained to me that the miraculous power of Amma is her intuitiveness. |     | 
| Like thousands of other would-be first time buyers, Amma, 23, is worried about taking on a mortgage. |     |

| The figures with raised arms always symbolized a prayer to Amma for the rain that gives essential to all life, and it could also be a gesture of contrition after the violation of a ritual law has caused the drought. |     | 
| Amma, a lap dancer from Deptford, London, plans to find a new career and revealed she had been considering giving it up for some time. |     |

| In the Dogon society in East Central Mali for example, 'bush' is the realm of the pale fox which is the first child of the creator god Amma and Mother-Earth. |     |

| In Africa a Dogon myth says that in the beginning, a world egg divided into two birth sacs, containing sets of twins fathered by the creator god, Amma, on the maternal egg. |     |
