Did it bring ur xpensive perfume fragrance to your minds?
Naa….for me it's my mummy's smell – I say smell because I remember as a child
sniffing her saris and clothes for that very unique essence which is hers. I
can still feel it if I really want to. Looking back I wonder if I will manage
to be unique sumday to my children not only with the God given gifts or
instinct but more with my gestures, love and teachings imparted.
I have a habit of announcing my arrival rite from the first
step on the staircase, so that I don't have to wait outside the door much…..
Must sound kiddish to the mature adults, but if everybody is grown up what's
the fun?
Honest confession, I never did fully appreciate my mum,
her hard work or her painstaking efforts before. Today, I see her in a
different light, as a WOMAN. I still remember lying in the hospital, minutes before i had to udergo a surgery, I smelled the
SCENT again and I awoke from my stupor, hoping to see my mama, sari clad
sitting next to the bed as was the case always in childhood. But what happened
literally shook me up and I share the experience with almost everyone.
In the words of my mother u are a big girl now but even
today for all the silly things i do and all my
stupid talks Her reaction when she sees me is(in the words of MASTER CARD) –
PRICELESS !!
I guess those are the moments that make your life, your
living worthwhile, being there when you are most wanted but least expected. As
i look back at my childhood With my never ending wants and unsatiable desires I
realize how difficult it is to fulfill a child's wish....
So here goes, my tribute to the little girl who traveled
from Mangalore on charity, at the tender age of 17, to work in people's homes.
To go on to become a popular AUNT in her own Vicinity where she lived for a
good 30 years.
Sometimes I dream of her falling, and I call her knowing
fully well, with the telepathy that exists between us that something is wrong,
and she is unwell or feeling low. I thank God for the beautiful MOM he gave me.
I looked into the mirror yesterday and realized that my Mother before me in the
prime of her youth must have been gorgeous…..Hey guys, that makes me proud...I love you so much Mamma
Happy Mother's day to all Mom's
