The melodies that turned every Puthiyaveedu nikah into a celebration.
Ayisha learned oppana songs from the women of Kuttichira and added verses of her own.
On nikah eves she led the circle, clapping rhythm while the bride blushed.
Her favourite song blessed the couple with faith, children and a peaceful home.
Granddaughters in Doha and Dubai still sing her lines over video calls.
May Allah have mercy on her; her voice lives in every family wedding.
