Today I was not well. I could hardly stand. I still cooked palak paneer and rice and chapati for family. My kid loves Spinach. She should be eating more fruits and veggies. She eats only strawberry. And oranges once in a while. 

My husband also demands only potato most of the times. He eats a apple slice. Not even a whole apple.

He should eat all kinds of fruits. But convincing him is a big task.

When I got my first salary, my mother had warned me that I must spend enough on fruits. She said the same when I was getting married. We both should spend enough on fruits. What a Mother she is ! 

Just too perfect as a woman. One of the finest you will see on this planet. I want to make her proud. 

That would be difficult because it is difficult to impress her. 

Same with my husband. Very difficult to impress. People spent lockdown times in watching web series. He watched all the interviews of all the scholars and intelligent people all over the YouTube. And also interviews of all great artists and sports persons. 

If you ask him the name of a singer, he will tell you the singer name as well as who played the tabla, the flute and the keyboard also. His hostel friends would tease him if he knew the spot boys name also. 

It keeps me grounded to have these two in my life.  

Jai Gurudev,

 11 days have passed already of this new year 2024. Time is so fast. Today, I had to attend to my kid. She is a little unwell. But she was happy throughout the day. She did not go to school. Reason for happiness. I cooked her favorite food. She loved it. 

I could not go for my walk. I want to get started. I have wasted a lot of time already.

I managed my day. My office work as well as some household work. 

My father is law surprised us by bringing some Pani puri for us. We enjoyed it. Every Thursday, my husband fasts the whole day. So, I cook heavy dinner every Thursday evening.  

I have a meeting at 11 pm tonight. So, I will be late to sleep. But it does not happen very often. Only a few times in one or 2 months. Can't complain. 

See you tomorrow.

 Jai Gurudev

Poem- Mother

 

A poem on Mother they said

Language was no barrier

As if the entity 'Mother'

Actually knows some barrier...

Religion caste color 

Nationalities even species

This one entity

Remains universal

Baby ducks follow her, 

A baby monkey clings to her 

A baby kangaaru's VIP seat 

None of them needs a trainer

Stretch marks and labour

Meal and medicine timer

A bit Loss of health and hair

Sleepless nights for a toddler

Moods and craziness of a teenager

Basically Mother is a all knower

Strong & steady like a Rock

Delicate like a flower

She is definition of love,

True Strength and Valor

Mother is a mirror image of almighty

So many God Mirrors surround us

Her keen eyes look after this universe

Divine omnipresence is actually all about her

Only an alive mother

Can sustain a living being

Sun & mother earth 

are surely not dead entities

Mom, Grandmom, mother land 

& mother tongue ..who can forget them

Mother nature keeps bestowing 

Without asking you to repay..

By the time you understand 

the meaning of word 'mother'

You are already dealing with

Your own little monster

Even if a male 

You are no less a mother

(Sometimes even better)

as You are made up of both

Half a father & half a mother

So now you are a mirror image of god

Caring for your honey little angels 

Suddenly you have become a living legend

And Not just your mom's little angel

Mischievous smile of your mom and dad

Will show you how karma have returned

Little bundle of joy in your arms will tell you

How easily this world is conquered
