On the eve of mother's day I can share my story and observation where I have found mother's love and care. From last eight years I am living away from my parents , away from home for various stints of school, college and Job.
Every time when I used to visit home on vacation or leave I was welcomed every time with my favourite dishes. And while going, although I used to resist time and again, my mom used to fill my traveling bag by tons of eatable items. She used to fill it in my absence as she was skeptical about me that I will take them out to make my bag lighter. So those were kind of surprise to me when I used to open my bag upon reaching the required place (hostel during my academia or the flat during job.)
I can remember very well, while in my schooling time she used to fill it with fruits,malpuas,thekuas and even a small bottle having chocolate boost or horlicks in it(my favourite one) with a sticker on it having written "everyday with milk!!". Also how can I forget the bottle of ghee with instruction of having it with the Chapati of mess which if in case was hard will go well with it.
Then in college I remember lot of fruits every time along with groundnuts if it was winter.Packets of Biscuits and Namkeens(savour) had replaced the bottles of horlicks and ghee. But again there was one bottle of pickle which was mostly get finished by my motu motu roommates.These all changes were due to my gradual shift in my eating habits with my changing age and interest. And my mother knows it every time what I chose or not to chose to eat. What are my favourites and what I hate most.
With her growing age and her a bit trust on me that I am capable of own survival in my present job doing stage the presence of much eatables in my travelling bag had reduced a lot.She is now much aware that I will not let her take any pain to prepare stuffs for my journey or let her prepare something like laddu or some other eatables to eat it at my flat. So for last couple of years the process of forcefully filling my bag with eatables has stopped , but this time in my recent journey to home she took all pain to prepare various items for me and I have not resisted even this time although not feeling good of her taking pain at this stage just because I came to realise how can I and who am I to resist a mother's love and care.
I realized these things which used to irritate me in college were my biggest possessions while away from home. It is a mother's way to feed her child being away from him/her. Mothers are so much caring!!
Love you and miss you Mummy.
To all readers.. Happy Mother's Day.
