I slept late and woke up too late as usual. My phone
signaled Red in its battery pot as it might have tried maximally to wake me
up by alarming the time. On a quick succession, I jumped up from the bed,
brushed, showered and tried getting
ready like an Autobot in transformer movie. Everything was fast except
my shirt. “hey mom..?how many times I told you not to button up my shirt after
ironing ???” I cursed her. unlocking each button seemed to be a precisely
performed cardiac surgery. I thought I need to stitch a line of welkers to avoid this buttoning. Welkers suits
better. I think its more convenient for the way I am.
After buttoning my shirt, I called my mom again for my
tiff-in. She ran up to me and gave my lunch. But i didn't mind. Actually I could
not. Because I was much angry. I had told her so many times not to button up my
shirt. But she wont hear. I am not forcing her to do what I said. I just need
to avoid her favors as it make my life more complicated.When I ran out and
jumped into my bicycle,she was saying something. She was saying something. I didn't
bother listening to it as I knew that it would be the same dialogues- “Go slow..Take
care…Eat well Study well…” etc…
Change is an outcome of time, realized when I count the number of years passed as an
eye-blink. Almost all interventions of a woman in my life is substituted with my better half who is still
sleeping in my bedroom when I am ironing my shirt now. Of coarse she loves me. But
the problem is, may be love have lots of dimensions…
Anyhow, I realize that those buttoned shirts from my mother
were actually a blanket of care, love and affection. she used to keep her offered
embryonic layers of all finer things around me. How mad was I when I thought it
all as restrictions. I definitely miss all those things.. I really miss you mom…………
Good....
