It's been a long 3 years since I have written anything here. Ikru is going to school, making new friends, going on play dates, helps me wipe plates, and what not! :) Yes, it has been the best 5.5 years of my life with a lot of sweet memories. I started this blog to keep a journal of that beautiful journey. But somehow, stopped in between. I know, I must have lost the memories of a hundred beautiful incidents :( Yet, I shall try to jot down at least the ones that come to my mind.
I do tell everyone, daughters are the best thing that can happen to a person. They fill our lives with cheerful energy, compassionate love and unlimited happiness. The softest kisses and cuddles, the most beautiful imaginations, the most wonderful thoughts..
I always remember the times when she had showed great care and love :) I particularly remember this incident always.... My husband was away on work for a long time. I was finding it really difficult juggling work, home, daughter, cooking.. I was tired, no... exhausted.. I never had any family members nearby for any help. And everything seemed like a herculean task! There was this one particular day. I had a bad day at work, and I was really tired, yet busy cooking dinner. My daughter was continuously asking me if I can take her to the park. I said "No!". Yes, If they really want something, kids have the habit of repeating the question until you change your mind or lose your mind! She went on and on making me crazy. Then she was like "ok, put on a cartoon for me." With chappathi dough on both hands I went near her and screamed "That's all you want, right?! Either play or watch cartoon and have fun! Do you ever think about anyone else?!" I know that was too much funda for a 4 year old. She looked at me and said "No mamma, that's not all I want, I want something else also" I was like "What the heck is that other thing you want?" . She looked into my eyes and said "Mamma, I don't want you to be cooking and working a lot and then be very tired". Yes, those were the exact words. I remember it verbatim.. Oh God, I was speechless, I did not know what to say. I just hugged her and said thank you!
I feel that I have the best mother and the best daughter in the world.. And sometimes it makes me feel that I am so inadequate.. I am neither a good mother like mine nor a good daughter like mine. But it's ok.. we are all wonderful women and we love one another for what we are! They ought to love me the way I am :) And they do!
