"What a shame......." were the exact words Michi , told me when we were having a conversation and I had told her that I don't remember my Mom's bday....Then there was a barrage of words stringed into sentences which I could only standstill and hear ..was stripped naked by those words..
started with the 9 months wombtime, feeding ....and what not !!! This triggered an unusual thought process in me, we complain even when a small good activity of us is not recognized but I've never thought of recognizing the unconditional love - my parents have always been showering ! I have always tried to be nice but being nice is not enough - she is working almost 24x7 with no returns - her world revolves around my dad,sisters n me. I have got a big world to be happy , she just has this little world of hers to be happy !!
Got into a cursing mode thinking how selfish I've been in ignoring this simple fact of reciprocating - its better later than never.I had a good flashback of all my budding years and how she was supporting me invisibly from all angles - I couldn't hold back messaged my sister to find the date and then ordered a couple of stuff for her to be delivered on her birthday.. Hope she doesn't have a heart attack as I've never even wished her on her birthday ;-)
I've decided not to miss a call to her (she needs me to call her atleast once a week to answer the same questions - did you have your food, are you OK, how is your health etc and now I know why ;-). Now I feel lighter and happier,its not the promotions, the appraisals , the salary hike, the project successes that brings you real happiness - the real deal lies in small actions like these !!
Its better late than never.......Love u Mom - the only girl who loves you unconditionally from day0 of your life (courtesy Cata) !!!
