Don’t you just love to hog on icecreams? Truth be told, I’m a bit of a lost case when it comes to ice cream. Yes...I love icecreams...after all who doesn’t?

When we were kids, I remember we used to run, when icecream wala calls out on the road, to get our share, a milky bar costed just Rs.2 then. There used to be lot many candies and many flavors with him…ranging from grape to orange. I don’t find the icecream walas now :( Yes they almost vanished!!

And occasionally my mum used to make icecream at home..and then see… we kids are so stick to the freezer, once in a while we keep opening the door and the mum the other side used to warn us…the icecream wouldn’t get firm if we do it.Yayaya good olden days I say.

Perhaps I was in my 5th standard, when there opened a nice cute icecream parlor at my place. Mom, sister, aunt and I would visit the parlour very often and when my cousins been to our place we make sure that we visit the place and there would be an icecream feast:)

As we have grown a bit older there comes corneto, feast and stuff..and now we shifted to baskin robbins, scoops, so on and so forth :) We would eat them almost daily without even bothering about our growing tummies.

So I say ‘I’ for Icecream :)

Mood Swings...

One moment I live as if there’s nothing more left in the world to do

The other moment it seems gloomy and somber

One moment I feel I have the world's bestest friends

The other moment they seems to be wicked

One moment I want to read and read that my eyes gets sniveled

The other moment I want to sleep like a snail

One moment I want to hog

The other moment I become mum

One moment I feel am the carefree girl ever

The other moment I feel am lost

One moment I feel am so contented

The other moment I feel displeasure

One moment I feel I want to be in solitary

The other moment I feel to be accompanied

Amamma...you rock!

You may be no more
But you are inside me
I will take you along!

Time flies but memories stay behind!!!
Time...what is it???
I define time as memories.
Memories have an enormous role in everyone’s life.

Amamma, though you are not with us...I feel you inside my mind and I cherish all the memories that I have with you.

She has raised her four children and eight grand children. There’s a lot much one can learn from her. We call her as the living encyclopedia..she has a keen interest in everything..Be it cooking - she is the best cook I know till date.. Reading-she reads a lot..yeah..she once said she even used to read the newspapers or magazine papers in which grocery were brought , Writing- give her any crossword puzzle..she will finish it in no time, Music– she is an admirer of music- she sings and listens..Maybe I got that instinct of music from her, Cricket- she thoroughly follows every match of India, be it a test, one day or 20-20..she even calculates the runrate and she is no less than the cricket analysts, Stock market-yeah..she knows that too..to add up to it..she even advices my mama what and when to sell off. She is an expert planner; a pooja, a festival ,a wedding ceremony, what not, she plans everything perfect and precise. Yayy!! She is an all-rounder... she has her helm of perfection in everything she does and she nudges us to be the same like her.

She wants her things to be in place, if someone else walks into her room and moves even a speck of dust, she will attack. She has an eagle’s eye on everything .She believes that “Cleanliness is next to god.”

She is such an open minded person that she is neither orthodox nor superstitious and even says my mom to accept things as they are and take life as it comes..She is such a blessed soul and we rarely find people like her. I feel a sense of serendipity for writing all these about her.

She is partnered with everyone of our family.Being a single parent child, Amamma has played a major part in my upbringing.. .She is one of the most influential women in my life. She is an amazing woman and one of the people I aspire to be when I grow up.

Amamma you rock!! You will always be missed L
