It's Dec 30 today, some years back in 2001 on a cold December morning, probably the 31st I arrived in Delhi with Ma and today as I sit at home remembering a lot many things, I wonder if I should be thankful for these 15 years or wonder if it could have been more!
This afternoon as Baba listened to the news on the radio and the songs started after the news, my mind raced back to years back when me and Ma use to lie on the bed listening to songs after our lunch. I did not have a job then and Ma had come to settle us down. There was no internet or TV then and the radio was our only source of entertainment on such gloomy noons. I remembered buying vegetables and cooking mixed veg. How I wish those days of Ma's fair health had lasted for ever.
I had a job by Feb and Ma returned to Shillong in April if I remember correctly. Ma and Baba have visited many winters since and my heart really wants to rewind back to those days, to do things that I could have done, made her more happy or simply listen to the radio.
