Tiffin Tales 7

Hola....

Its a gleaming sunny day and the sun looks so happy. Well, its us who feel happy when the sun shines. A different way to look at things i guess. It's fall season so the sun rays have a different sensitivity. It is soft in the mornings making people desirous to spend a few extra minutes in the sun, heated during the day and mellowed down again towards the afternoon.

As i write these lines i am sitting in one corner of my room, the sun rays are smoothly falling on my back. One can easily feel that it isn't the summer sun which was fierce. The balmy sun along with the gentle wind is like a lullaby to my senses.

After a thought provoking Monday, Tuesday was little bit sweet. It's my niece's birthday and i was so excited to wish her perhaps more excited than the birthday girl herself. She turned 11 today but feels like just the other day when we celebrated her arrival. Eleven years back even i had less idea about bringing up a child. All i knew was a child is gift from heaven who just adds joys. Fast forward now i know after giving birth that a mother is born on the same day and the resilience she has matches none. Of course a baby adds so much joy to the immediate and extended families but the joy comes with reams of responsibilities. A baby's cry is diverse based on needs. While a baby cries for needs and attention a mother cries on different levels of emotion.

I can certainly write a bit more about my ongoing journey of motherhood but time restricts everything. A huge pile of clothes needs to be laundered and folded. I need to get some fresh vegetables and the milk can is in reserve state. The refrigerator needs some space management  while shoe rack is perhaps screaming for immediate attention. The morning conversation with my S mainly revolved around his morning duties and some 'mom' tips to finish his tasks especially homework quickly. After all these years i have realized that mom tips rarely fails and some stay in some corner of your heart forever. So today's lunch box included vegetable sandwich and some crackers while snack box had some fruits and a yogurt.....
