Oh no no, this isnt a cooking post.
My parents had promised me a graduation gift and I just received a box full of home-made goodies.
Chiwda, laadoo, badam burfi (yeah Mother specializes in it!), paapdi, and few chutneys :D
The greatest thing is, Aai made everything at home! (Well the usual sob stories of how I dont get to eat anything she cooks). I just put down the phone to tell her that I received everything in excellent condition and how it feels like स्वर्ग सुख when I put anything in my mouth!
Mother's day has just gone by. And I don't really believe in all these (though I wish her by default), but today I feel awed. At her tenacity, the hard work she puts into everything so that her kids get the very best, her resilience, tolerance, patience (specially raising a brat like me!), her faith, her un-possessiveness, and not feeling the necessity to poke us at every turn of lives so that we grow up to be us and not someone else!
I think its absolutely great! And when I grow up I want to be like you Aai!
Love,
~nightflier :)
