Hola...
How are you friends doing? I hope the sun is shining more brightly now and you all are enjoying the season amidst lots of mangoes and chiller drinks...Oh yes, did I forget to mention ice creams too? The markets are flooded with different flavors, so just go and grab your favorite flavors.
The past month I took a small break and decided to just soak in the moments. The moments when my parents came and I got to spend some time with them after quite some time. When they left I almost went to depression (technically not though). They stayed with us for a small amount of time but I did not want to miss out any moments of love and laughter with them. We could not replicate our childhood moments but walking down through that lane with my children was surely fun. They were curious to know how life was with limited gadgets and meager toys.
My father took pride in sharing the stories how efficiently I could climb trees to get those guavas or bravely learnt how to ride cycle with minimum help. Stories, anecdotes and food kept flowing till late at night. The weather was a depressant though. We tried to take them in and around but the strong winds forced us to stay home for most of the days. We reimbursed those days with movies and ice creams. Only thing my kids did was scream with ice cream and had one hell of a time.
Parents are blessings in the truest form. Life feels so calm and less stressful with them around. I relished all the meals cooked by her and craving more so now. Life without parents feels like a dish cooked with minimalistic spices. There is a taste but so many flavors missing. Time keeps changing and we just hop from one story to another but our childhood stories are preciously kept safe with our parents. I am already looking forward to my next visit to my parents and somewhere deeply miss being with them.
Well, the summer break starts this week and I will have a crazy schedule. But our constant love for food will be there and there will be extensive sessions of baking and messy kitchen all throughout the school closure. Lets all enjoy the season with whatever you have. If you none to enjoy with just remember the sun and the moon are lonely but they shine bright...You have admirers too...
This morning its been pouring and my S wanted to take pasta for lunch. It something easy and absolutely no fuss. For his snack box I packed some orange slices, some peaches and a small muffin... Enjoy friends, catch you all soon...
