Yes, I am a Mamma's girl !!!

The first image of my mum I remember is when I was 3 years old , holding her hand and walking in my squeaky shoes, I fell down and someone lifted me.I have a blurred memory of my purple frock and someone's lovely dark tresses flowing on it.

My mum never asked me what homework was I scribbling in the eleventh hour before I had to leave for school, instead spoon fed me my breakfast.
My mum never knew what exams were happening in school, instead choose to keep the light on till wee hours when I used to study late nights having played the whole day.
My mum never knew the subjects I was reading nor understood the course I was taking but she greatly empathized with me when I cribbed that Mechanics, ATD, Thermodynamics are my bitter enemies these days.

I was one reckless daughter and she was one patient mom.:crazy

I loved adventure and she was homely.I was offered to travel in Middle East. I didn't tell her till the last minute and called her up and told , "Mum I might be travelling to Middle East but shall be back really soon".She asked me where, and when I responded, I could almost hear her scream and thought she had fainted on the other side.

I was one daughter giving her hair-raising surprises and she was one mother who feigned tranquility after the initial shock.:bowdown

When I took her to Egypt few years back , she wondered why spend so much to stare at some rock monuments.
When I took at her to a plush restaurant for dinner she chided me that she could have fed an army with the money we were paying for this meager meal.
When I wanted to buy her some jewellery, she was aghast at the sky-rocketed price of gold.

Phew, she is one difficult mother to adapt and I was one persistent daughter to appease.:thumbsdown

Even today when I call her she reminds me of festivals in the hope that I might perform pooja at my place someday.
Even now when I meet her she teaches me how to cook richly in the hope that I slather some oil in the food.( She thinks I am always dieting ).
Even now when I visit India she shows me loads of my old clothes and shoes in the hope that I don't shop this season and take some with me.

Gosh , she is one relentless mother and I am one resistant daughter.Harhar

When I told mum that I wanted to leave my job during the peak of recession , she just said prepare well for the interviews.
When I told mum that I was going to Swiss for Christmas , she just said make sure that you do not catch cold.
When I told mum that I was going to Kenya to visit my friends, she just said don't scare those animals away with your antics.

She is one unquestioning mom and I am one vivacious daughter.:2thumbsup:

Few years back, when I told my mum that I wanted to marry someone she just said the wedding would be planned in traditional style, not your dream of crazy civil ceremony.

She is a religious and ethereal woman ; I was born with a skeptical mind which the CSI team would love to enrol.
She is lovely, fair, the most beautiful damsel I have ever seen ; I have curly hair with wheatish complexion.
She has a temper(at times) which can cringe Mt Vesuvius; I have the patience(now) which can compete with the Pacific.

Over the years there were times when she wanted to say so much, urging me to take care which I read in her eyes; she was so worried of the distance between us wondering if I can hear her, but I was always standing just beside her; she was so nervous if I could fight my own battles not realizing that she was my greatest strength.:thumbsup

What she does not know is that

I still have the ONLY letter she wrote to me with a set of instructions on dos and do nots when I left my home city for the first time , as precious as the ten commandments.

What she will never believe is that

She comes before anything else to me in this whole world .Yes, I am proud to be a Momma's girl.:crazy

I LOVE YOU MUM !

 

Dear Kamla,

Sometimes after posting I feel that there so much still to write, have I expressed myself clearly , have I transformed my emotions into words or not.

The moment I see you and your feedback , I feel relieved that the gist of the post that you have summarized in just one sentence is all I wanted to say

clapclap

If ever I were to compete in Dumb charades then I would beg you to be my partner as you
seem to read thoughts telepathically or else how would you have commented so wonderfully on what I wanted to express.:crazy

Thanks a lot for coming here and now this is going to be even more memorable post as yours is the first feedback :thumbsup.( can't recall ever happening in any of my other threads )

 

Dear Radhika,

I am glad that you could relate to what I have written.All mothers are made of the same mold so I know how much your mother would have resisted, you showing the city around.:crazy

I wish your mother recovers soon.This bond is mutual.When a mother does not show her apprehension lest her daughter grows weak thereby acting strong before her, a daughter also does not show her consternation fearing her mother's health and assures that she would bounce back.

Thanks a lot for coming here and giving your feedback.

Don't worry I am sure everything is going to be alright.
