Its been more than a month since I've put up a post! Been busy but not always, never got anything to write, until now.
After cooking for weeks everyday at home, I'm really frustated. I started it thinking it would be a good break from routine and fun to pass the time. But the cooking itself has become a routine. Everyday before leaving office I think, "what should I cook tonight?". Since I eat alone, there is nobody to give me their preference. I wake up in the morning and think, "So, what should I pack for lunch?" arrgghhh!! Yesterday while cooking my mom's recipe, I suddenly realized that my mother has been doing this for past three decades! I called her up and said "Amma, thank you for cooking us such delicious food everyday, never tiring. I acknowledge that its very tough to be a homemaker, I love you". She was so happy to hear this, I could hear her voice quiver. It feels nice if somebody reconizes the hard work you do, which was otherwise going un-noticed.

Hey gd one yaar i am sure there ill b many more who ill b happy to read someone like them hehe cooking for themeselves eating alone, and having nobody to give the preference.
And ya i do agree with the second half of your post hatsoff to the mammas around :)
i can help u with what to cook for dinner or pack for lunch, if you could bring lunch for me too...you know i go thru the same mental torture everyday wondering where should i go for lunch. so this can solve our problems. And i know how happy u r that i m offering to do this for you and i know how much u not want to take anything from me in return for the food u'll bring...but i'll be happy to take u out for lunch once a month to ur favourite HP cafeteria, as a payback gesture. you know me, i m so considerate and modest :-)
I don't know whether I am entitled to comment...but anyways Lady...I think it was great to see your blogs again...keep blogging..you never know you can make someone's day unknowingly...
Had to taste my own cooking for a brief period in a far away land. That's when I really understood how hard it is to cook dialy without ever complaining. Mothers really are great! Salutations to them :)
Hey Deepti! I know what you mean. I live with room mates and so I have to cook only twice a week, but this is when I relaized how mom manages to do it every single day and I dont blame her if I have found her a lil frustrated at times! I suck at expressing my feelings and I wish I could tell my mom how much I appreciate what she has been doing for all of us!
It was one of the sweetest blog i have read i know exactly what u mean, the only difference being that i did not want to call my mom and tell her i miss her cooking coz she is very emotional and she is sure to cry, and thats the last thing i want and the worst part is cant go over the weekend to make her feel better and taste her tasty dishes.
its so very true. we dont realise how tough it is to maintain a house if we dont go throught the experience ourselves
i have been maintaing my house, cooking myself , taking care of my dog .. all alone as my parents are out .. iv been doing this only for the last one month and that too there is only me n my dog to take care of.. but mom has been doing this for the last 30 years ,, for afamily of 5 and on top of this she goes to work,,,
Hatts offf to you dear mother and to all the moms in the world .. nanna namanagalu
Hi Deepthi, I felt a lump in my throat reading this post. The best thing about your blog is that you are honest and write from your heart.
On Pogo, there is an ad about Mother's Day wherein they ask a boy what he will do on Mother's Day. For that the boy tells that he will not let her work that entire day.
Listening to that a question cropped up in my mind as to what about the remaining 364 days? I agree that the boy told it with all love and sincerity but it certainly put my mind to work.
Similarly your blogs make me stop for a while and think. Thanks for that.
Yes!!! Mom's are the best in everything.......wonderful feeling, isn't it?
Heey.. nice post. Yes, Moms are the greatest!!!
