Making sense of Ma

Like most of u guys out there i too am a mama's boy. Why so i have no idea...partly it could do with the fact that she is with me all the time. The longest i have stayed away from her was during my study hols post the twelfth boards when i went to PC thomas for my entrance coaching (hellacious period that was). I cannot say for sure i missed her during that period of time...but i do rememeber i was in a hurry to get back home after the course came to an end. As i check up the calender i notice that mothers day is no where near and that this post has really no significance other than the fact that i am writing this from b'lore... again away from her.

Mom and i go a long way (ok..that was meant to be funny). Like most moms she too is extremely sensitive when it comes to her children. Somewhere in her mind it has been engrained that the only person who has the right to scream and shout at her children is she herself...and to an extent dad too. Anyone else who has the audacity to reprimand us is in for a tough time. Granted her kids (her on especially...thats me if u got lost in all the third party speak) are no angels...and the fact that I have a run in with authorities every now and then doesn't do her any good. However if there is one thing that i know for sure ..and can bet my house on is that she will always stand up for me thru thick and thin( now that i have put the house on the line she better do so)...and let me tell u that things are always thick for me....always. Her quest for attaining 6 sigma cleanliness is legendary. Sadly her arthritis has become a stumbling block to that quest.

There was a dialogue in Shah Rukh's 'Kal ho na ho' which i liked a lot due to its aptness with regard to my mom and that being.."Moms always think from the heart" or something to that effect. There are a few people that she will support no matter what. One being me ofcourse , then dad , sis and my dog...also Atal Bihari Vajyapee and Sachin Tendulkar. Some how hell, high water, a few Gandhis and the goddamn aussies cannot shake her support for them. Calling her a passionate person is an understatement but always nonone can deny the fact that she is the most practical person in the nut-house that we call our home. Queen of contradictions...that is my mom for u. She has been supportin my interests fomr the time i was able to speak and thus has learnt about cricket , movies and captial markets to keep up coversation with her son. She aint the most tech savvy person in the world...and therefore i am not sure that she will ever read this post...but if ever u do mom..let me take this moment to say...I Love u mom...
