Tiffin Tales 31

Hola...

So, the much awaited week starts today. It's 'Shosthi' and Maa is at her father's home. This morning i woke up to a wonderful feeling that She is home, somewhere so near, so close all around. Her aroma is everywhere and her presence is so strong that everything else seems blurry.

The weather looks good outside. It's windy but the sun is shining and the leaves are hastily disappearing. Sitting near the window i am wondering how the world looks so different from a child's eye. There are so many things, perhaps quite some are minuscule that do not escape a child's eye. They have some exclusive way to decipher things which is so pure and pristine.

Over the weekend we had lot of discussions and in one of those discussions my S asked why can't everyone be happy? Why do people get sad? What is sadness?  Even though i tried in my lucid way to explain him sadness where we get upset when our expectations aren't met properly, to which he said , if we cannot get a certain thing why not concentrate on something else. While it was difficult for me to explain him that there are diverse ways to look and solve a problem he wasn't convinced. Everything looked simple to him and complexity of any problem didn't seem to make any sense to him. For any problem he always has a solution which at times makes us burst into laughters but we never forget to encourage him.

This afternoon as i sit near the window and trying to find ways to solve a few daily life problem i am thinking about my S. Had he been around he would have come up with quirkiest of solutions and solve all of them in a jiffy.

As of now, i am leaving all my problem at Maa Durga's feet and asking her to take care of them.  For today's lunch box i packed vegetable rice with some raisins and dried cranberries. I hope he likes the sweet and a pinch of sour taste of the rice. The snack box had peach and cheese a small pack of yoghurt.

Take care and enjoy your day.
