My Mommy Sweetest!!

Hmmm.. writing this one with a very heavy heart. Am missing my mom terribly and since I know that most of you who’d be reading this blog are living in with parents. Give them all the respect you can. It’s like I can feel how my mom has seen me growing. When I see myself through her eyes.. I know I have disappointed her a lot, but she never complained.

She is my hero in life. When I was down in my life few months back she gave me all the mental support. I could not imagine living with someone’s love for a day and it’s been 11 years now that she’s been surviving alone, without my dad. Never did a moment go by when all of us were together and not laughing and smiling or eating or shopping or travelling. My mom never let me realise the emptiness I’d feel in my life, once my dad left.

Mom you’ve suffered a lot, but damnnn you are so strong. I am still learning a lot from you. The comfort you provide me over phone. Telling me tales of bhopal. Your Tupper-ware kitty parties.. updates of how and what Lakshya has been upto. The way you take care of my elder brother and sister.. The way you look at me when I call you by your name ‘Rashmi!!’ (mix of anger and smile)..

The time I spent with my mom in Ahmedabad, once my Bro and sis left for Bhopal was so funny… She’s one of the most wittiest person around.. her one-liners are just too good.. She is a great scientist, but only in the kitchen.. man the yummy dishes she’d invent with the left-overs or anything.. she’s innocent beyond control.. little little things give her that cultural shock (Her jaw dropped when I told her that I like some girl).. She was still the perfect mother for most of the kids in my building. If anyone kid bashed up by his/her parent, Mom and I used to become the rehabilitation center for them…

She’s everything I want to be. She has the kindest of heart that I know. Loving each and everyone around our lives. He he… it was such a funny feeling when she’d come to me with all the problems and whatever the Pados ki auntyan are saying.. discussing what Tulsi would do next or how Parvati should tackle the situation.. It seemed that she used to look up at me as some 39 year old Lady who’s interested in talking about this. But I never showed her any expression of ‘No Interest’.. why would I? it felt so good and funny after that.

Nowadays, she’s giving extra emphasis on watching commercials on the television or in Newspaper too.. then whenever she’d call me up she’d ask me .. ‘Did you like that ad’..’How would you’ve done it’.. ‘Kitna boring tha who ad’.. She’ll be a perfect replacement for my Creative Director.

One other thing about my Mom.. and this is what I got from both.. My mom and my dad.. Bhery instinctive. Bhery bhery much. I love you for that mom. Yeah there have been many times that you’ve suppressed your instincts.. but now there’s no stopping you.

Her smile is so infectious, her PJ’s, the way she looks at life.. also the way that she looks.. she looks sho sho cute.. watching her laughing in the laugh club will kick-start my day in a wonderful manner. Making coffee for her with no sugar. Aah. Everyday I think of you mom. You are my Inspiration. And yes Happy Days are here again. Love you Mom. See you soon Mom.
