This is my first blog and I am quite nervous about how its gonna turn out.. but hell.. who cares..
I just need to speak my heart out !!!
So here I go....
Brought up in a traditional Palakkad Iyer family with an extremely strict dad and a selfless mom.. I wonder sometimes if I would ever be able to thank her enough or say how much difference she has made to my life...
Being the youngest in the family and utterly pampered by my dad, I saw no life beyond him and ignored the existence of that person who sacrificed everything she would ever want ...
School days went by .. running to school .. coming back home to books .. fussing about the food she made.. not to forget the special evening snacks that she made everyday and yeah we were very good daughters.. we made sure she made different stuff for each of us !!!!!
And then came the college days.. far far away from home.. when for the first time.. it seemed like something was amiss... nobody to wake me up a zillion times at 5 min intervals....
nobody to feel bad if I didn't have enough protein content in my meals for the day.. nobody to clean the mess I made in the room.. nobody to kiss me good night.. nobody to sit with me if I felt bored to be alone.. For the first time in my life I realized how much she does for me!!!!
As if this was not enough!!! I started working... staying in a PG .. extremely crouched room .. sharing it with 4 other girls .. with hardly any space to move around.. eating food cooked in the morning or the previous day.. Mom I missed u so much.....
And then came the time for marriage .. she was always there.. as a friend.. listening to the stories I had to tell.. the small romantic moments.. or small fights.. always giving the right kind of advice ... and advising on the right things to do....
she still visits us in our home now.. and she saves up money to buy me things that she has wished for.. Mom , I wonder sometimes,if I could ever be the mom you have been to me...
I love you so much and you are indeed my most priced possession!
You mean too much to me!
