To you with Love

Hey Ma,
I sometimes wonder how the hell u put up with me for 25 years? did I ever give you a chance to breath?
I know I haven't been the perfect kid but you sure as hell have been the best mom possible.


You've been my best friend since the day  u told me that I'm grownup now and that at this age mum n daughters become friends.... No secrets. I never kept any from you.


You've been the mentor who's taught me how to love and how to live, how nothing can make me cry.
You've taught me the best lessons of life and I've always learnt them with a smile.


You were right when u said " You'll miss me when I'm not there and remember the things I say... that you so hate today".
BINGO!!! I miss you and I miss the little and not so little lectures you gave when I did something wrong or not wrong (According to me :) )


Just thought I'd say what I've been meaning to for long.... I LOVE YA.


This one's for you

I haven't had the chance to say,
you matter to me in so many ways.
you've always picked me up when I've been down,
made me smile, you've played the clown.



you've taught me right from wrong,
you are the one who's made me strong.
I am more than what I was those yesteryears,
learnt to hide away the un shed tears.



I've done good in life,
coz' you've been there as my guide
no fancy words would ever suffice,
Only this  - Ma you are the BEST.

Being an Army Brat!

Walking down memory lane, looking at pictures from the past, I linger on to this one where my dad's in uniform. Somewhere in the east I think or was it up north. I wonder. The only thing I remember for sure is his reaction to every time I called from law school. "Is everything ok? It's not weekend already is it? " I'd smile a teary eyed smile and say "naah it's Tuesday and I just thought I'd say HI!" I bet he smiled. I could hear it in his voice.

Drunken conversations - A moment in time

Winters brought along thick cover of fog that had just started to roll in. Law school didn’t give her as many sleepless nights as the two boys in her life did.  It was  2:30 am  by her watch and the persistent beep of a call waiting made her take note of the name on the screen. ‘Damn!’ She thought to herself, it was probably the fourth time this month she’d have to tell her boy that she needed to take the other call and he was definitely going to be mad at her this time. It had to be done. She made her excuse and switched the line. “Hello!”she said a little anxiously, but before she could say anything else, the drunk voice from the other end shouted joyously “Baby, I got a job, I got placed”. And she smiled. He’d called up her other number an hour ago and said the same thing over and over again till her Mother replied...”Congratulations! She’s in college son.” He then spent the next ten minutes apologising for calling in the middle of the night. But did it stop ...

Reflections!

She took a moment to stop fidgeting and looked at the reflection.  What she saw amazed her and yet she found it hard to recognize.  The childlike smile and kind eyes that stared back at her quizzically. What had changed? Why was there emptiness where once there was pure joy?   She smiled a wary smile, looked deeper into those eyes that were once kind. Only to find a shallow pool of tears welling inside. And as she turned around to leave she heard a faint voice.  A gentle voice that said “let go”. “Let go and come back to being the girl you were always meant to be and not the empty shell I see in front of me now.”
