My Mamma' Birthday - 4th May 2013



Mamma, am celebrating your birthday, am celebrating you.....
Am celebrating your kind, large, golden heart.....
I love you mamma
You have taught me "to love"
You are so loving, so giving...you still give and I can feel your presence always always.......
Am celebrating how you expressed your love....how you gave to one & all
whether it is untimely guests/ servants who came to you with their troubles, you soothed everyone with that big smile of yours & something to eat & drink.
Whether sending tea & biscuits to the tired labourers working in the building compound or making ginger tea for your maid who is sneezing profusely in the rains.

 I am lucky to have seen you do all these things mamma, I am so proud of you.
Any family visitor/ guests/ non related family friends.....Your heart & home was open to all.
Sending food to the acquaintance in hospital post her delivery or sending home made ladoos to her toddler.....
These kids today miss you like crazy mamma.....
They celebrated their birthdays without a phone call/ gift from you this year.
They gave their 10th exams & said "aachi" would have called us to wish us all the best....
I feel blessed to receive these calls & feel so proud and choke with emotions.....I miss you mom....

 I feel blessed to hear stories of your kindness from our domestic staff.
I am in awe of your strength and grit.
Endless supply of energy to care for others :) that' you mom :)

 Today am celebrating you on your birthday mamma.

 I know how much you loved to give.
I am going to cook a meal for some people in honour of your giving spirit and love for all
I know you are guiding me right from planning the menu to making a shopping list for ingredients to holding my hand  while I cook......
I have inherited so much mamma......I love you loads....
I know you would be happy to share your birthday meal with all.

Foot Prints In Sand...

It was a kind summer day, nice and breezy. Sand + Sea + Sweet Corn -- perfect combination Settled on the beach sand, facing the sea, a “butta” each. Beautiful, magnificent view. Sheer Vastness. 5.30pm, sun not yet set. So airy, the sun shining, but no heat. We talk about the sky, sun, clouds, the overhead flying airplanes, close range photography of the low flying chopper, egrets near the water…. The sweet couple near the water. The toddler trying to walk towards his eager parents. "Wow I love the beach…it always makes me feel good….." "I love you….you always make me feel good…." Smiles and rests her head on the strong shoulders. Gazing more at the horizon, watching the breathtaking sunset Ill defined sketches made on the sand in front of them Laughing at the sketches Making funny faces at each other Its 7.30pm now an hour and a half past the sunset….got to be going home now. "I wish it were 5.30 again, I want to relive all this again…." "I wish time
