MOTHER'S LOVE

There have been many times when I got angry when I was subject to doing things said by mom which carried a major portion of discipline and grooming and which only seemed like an attempt to trouble me. Yet I did all that I was made to (I dint budge easily though)
This grooming took its own sweet time to show results. But deep within I knew that her intentions were only to see me doing well in just anything I take up. It has taken me almost the entire teenage to realize this. There are many people who don’t want their teenage to cease. But I accept changes in life gladly, and am ready for what life has in store for me.
Going on retrospections is a usual habit of mine. I go back and see what I have learnt, what I still have to learn, what I have to change, and many things. Many times I end the session feeling low about the instances I chose to retrospect. But this one has been a pleasure with all the things I have achieved out of being the daughter of Mrs. Sowmya Chandramouli.
I mark my presence as a smart one in the group, and always have a special place in the heart of the parents of all my friends. Courtesy: politeness and good manners shown to them
As a friend, I am liked by many people. As for the people who don’t like me, I don’t care. I don’t take the effort to return the hatred back. But I cherish the love and bondage of friendship that I have with all my friends. And the ones I call friends are genuine people whom I can depend on, and I would love to be with them during their good and bad times and give them my love (there is no return here. It is unconditional love from me). One aspect I find that friends like about me is that I don’t talk about issues of other people in gossip sessions. I value the secret of my friends’ more than my own. Courtesy: love the ones whom you love, also love the ones who hate you. 2 expect things that you are sure you can give them.
There have been many times when I felt life dumps me. When I ve been snatched of opportunities and lose all hopes to survive and carry on. There have been many talents that people dint want to recognize in me. (chauvinists to put in short) I fought out all that and today, in many places, she is known as Amritha’s mother. Perhaps this is a return, rather a token of love for her support all the times. Courtesy: a fighting spree initiated by her in me
There are a million things that I should actually key down here. But there are these few things that can actually fit in my page here. Today, when I see myself, I don’t feel like a loser as I used to feel many times. I have won in many places. The love my mother has towards me can be said in this story here. She told me this story as what type of a mother she wanted to be and her attempts to see that I am successful and happy all through mylife.
An eagle mother always lays her eggs on high cliffs at the very edge. When the egg hatches, the chick falls down with an inertia and in an attempt to save itself it starts flying before it comes really down to touch the earth. Hence the eagle always lives high up in the sky. All the times where I felt hard to manage were only the times where I struggled to flap the wings of survival, in due course, I am flying up the skies, seeing new dimensions of life. But this mother stood by me to see me flap my wings well and fly off. It is not time for mother’s day now, or the day where my teenage is going to end. But it is the day when I realize that amma has been an eagle mother to see me fly high.

an atmosphere that can heal

Today I went to the clinic of a doctor for my mom. There, I was waiting for quite some time. The area was unique and every part of the wall was interesting, and I dint realise how long we waited to meet the doc.
we went in, and saw the doc. well my mom did the talking for herself, I was rather looking at the walls, and the ambience and the decor of his room, his chair and his workspace.
it was a LARGE table with a PC, and a wireless mouse, clean table with few papers, and the walls well painted and royally bearing all his certificates; An air conditioner just behind him, a white bard to explain his patients about their problem with diagram of the anatomy.

when I was done with watching all this within a span of few seconds, I realised that he already finished his job effectively with his patient. Before he ended, he did the needful, typed what was needed, and printed it himself.

by then I was reluctant to leave the workspace which was so very wellmade. But the atmosphere of the clinic did its good even to me. I have been having hectic schedules over the week, and havent been able to my own work well, and was in fatigue till I went there. once I came out, I got fresh, and got charged with all the zeal to do million things under the sky.

this place is so very inspiring. after we came out, i observed that the doctor's residence was adjacent. it was big bungalow with a portigo and a few luxury cars. that atmosphere with a humble service to the patients surely did pay back.
when i start working, i am going to make sure that my workplace is appealing for people to work.

CHIWDA EVAM DHOODH

hmm.. i just finished watching singh is king.
the movie was good, specially for a desi girl like me. i always believe that my tradition and culture is the best for me. whenever it comes about following something non indian in india(mind you non indian IN india), i really dislike it. but when i am out of country, i am a Roman in Rome.
whenever i think of how we indians have deviated and drifted ourselves from a healthy, sporty, adventurous and interesting cluture, i try my best to look out for sarcastic things to say for people to realise that their culture is best for them.
for example, indian culture speaks of having a solid breakfast everyday, and a normal lunch, and a dinner before dusk. so indians were always healthy and fit. but with a lot of deviation etc etc, peple have changed their lifestyle in the name of sophistication and civilization.

and today, with the countries wasting money on "RE search", searching things that are already there and that theyve purposely lost, they "discover" that their original, classic culture tought poeple the right thing, specifically indians.
people on the name of sophistication dont eat proper food in the morning and eat this chiwda doodh(corn flakes in milk), where generally the chiwda is a junk snack eaten in small quantity just to keep the mouth entertained. people who eat it in the morning, barely get any good out of their "food", and before they retire, their system retires, all sorts of diseases are in them. but if we see the old people of the previous generations, we find them healthier than our friends(yes, healthier than the generation N).
so if you are an indian, and find an indian in india behaving silly, catch such sarcastic bits and throw it at them.
