Moms are always meant to be moms…..
Meaning they are meant to delight you/infuriate you / make you laugh/ make you cry… they are meant to do everything. And at the end of it all you can’t but help loving them even more.
The whole equation is meant to change through out a life time. As a kid I remember trying to be a hero and jump of a running rickshaw and impress my mom a bit. But as it turned as she was utterly disappointed on seeing me in the Cuttack drains and vented out her anger by scrubbing me with Dettol water for 2 whole days.
Later on once i tried to show her what a good son am I by trying to cook for her. She probably had the saltiest lunch of her life that day. She braved it by saying that it was absolutely amazing and never letting me in the kitchen again.
As a grown up she made me take decisions all by myself. This was bewildering but also made me independent to a large extent. She stands by me no matter what and is a great friend now more than a mother.
So a blog on one of my best buddies out there 
To start things off :
A mom will always be a mom: For example if i am sick.
A buddy will ask ” You sick ?”
me” Yes. A bit of cold”
Buddy:” Oh Ok. Take care. Theek ho jayega”
NOW MY MOM
Mom” You Sick?”
Me” Yes. Just Cold”
Mom ” Where are you right now??”
Me” Walking back from office”
Mom” Go home. Take medicine (5 to 6 tablets named !!!). Mop yourself up and take rest”
Me” What !!!”
Mom” Make youself some lemon n ginger tea”
Me” Okk. Will try”
1 hour later
Mom ” Did you ??”
Me” I am fine mom”
Mom” Ok .Dont listen to me. Dont take any medicine. Do whatever you wish to”
Me” I am taking rest mom”
Mom” Ok. Good. I hope you have taken some medicine”
Me ” Yup”
Mom” Its all because of the maggi that you have been eating of late. Eat simple and healthy food.Chawal/ Dal are so simple to cook. “
Me” But…….!!!!!!!!!”
Always trust your dear mother /aunt/ wife /girlfriend to find a co-relation between the food you eat and your health.Be it cold…be it whatever.
Then a message early in the morning from mom. “How are you ? I hope you are fine. Take care of your health.You stay alone so its you who should be caring about your health. Take healthy food. Stick to the office timings. Dont over work. Do you know how much stressed out i have been since yesterday!!! You should learn to take care of yourself”
The saga continues……
Mothers and fathers after a certain stage have a tendency of becoming your kids. They don’t understand. They become stubborn. They hate to learn something/anything new.
My mom is trying to learn the art of internet chatting. It took me 3 months to make her sit in front of the desktop. My cousins somehow managed to teach her to chat. And this is our first chat

happy is good 
Ok at 4 p.m then. i ran and hid behind my mom n pa who were sitting on a old school bench waiting for me. The nursery teacher had to cajole me back into the class. Could not help laughing on seeing Ma run from her chatting classes. 
cool …….
That reminds me how my mom is yet not comfortable with any of the electronic appliances, not even the television, i have been trying to make her learn since god knows when….but no luck
Sooooo sweet. Upload a picture of you and aunty. She is one wonderful lady
It was a refreshing read.It has been ages since i saw you. I remember tagging along with auntyji to markets as a kid for all the chocolates. your place used to be my second home. Will visit her sometime
Reminded me of the time when i tried to teach my ma how to use a mobile.
Perfectly said “Mothers will be mothers”
Just love them
Traditionally chat scripts have been my weak points
they are so much like conversations.
Your ma n u
