Dedicated to both the AMMAS

Mother's day is just a reason to make those lovely ladies i know feel special .. I started the day with an SMS that i created and sent it to the few mothers i know ... some of them were delighted reading the message and instantly replied... my message was " Motherhood teaches you that it is possible to love someone unconditionally" . I had my buddhist meeting that day and so quickly i got ready to go for the same. I surprised my mother in law by gifting her something that she has been wanting for a long time ..A feng shui bamboo plant. After seeing the broad smile on her face, i left for the prayer meeting .Back home , lunch was perfect with the potato fry and the lovely sambar . Then it was time to visit my mother as i had got her the gift that she really liked.It was BOBBY movie dvd and Kanda shashtikavasam by Soolamangalam sisters. I had rushed to odyssey to get the same previous nite but they did not have stock with had soolamangalam sister's voice .But according to my mother, kanda shastikavasam sounds perfect only when Soolamangalam sisters had rendered their voice to it :-) i agree with her as these ladies had some divineness in the way they had recorded this song. So , rushed out of odyssey and checked out another small music shop.We went to buy one CD but ended buying so many audio cds and some old time classics like kaadalikka neramillai , bama vijayam ..all those nostalgic nagesh hits. There was already a plan for our family dinner , so quickly i had to head to amma's house so that i can catch up with her before we went out . As i was entering amma's apartment my mother in law called me and said .. i have invited a special guest for the the dinner tonight and she will join you at ur mom's plc ..bring her along etc .. i took a few guesses assuming , it must be one of her sisters or relatives ...
But later, i  realised it was my AMMA.. felt so happy in my heart ...as when i was leaving my home ..i had this slightest regret on how marriage changes priorities for a woman and how you have to put even you mother behind and go ahead with your life etc.. but this nice act of my mother in law proved to reassure me that not necessary that things have to change after marriage .It is all in our hands .. if we give so much love , it will come back in multi fold and that is what i am getting now ... I could not have asked for a better Mother's day gift as this was my first mother's day ...a dinner with both the AMMA's in my life along with their dear children and the most lovable grandchild Vihaan ! It was just a perfect way to end the day...

Dont only knw how I missed this post....very good one. Am sure u will be a gud mother and MIL too so vihaan is lucky.Hearing so many critising abt joint family am really glad to see ur happiness.Exactly true wat u say it all depends on how we show our love and get them return back in abundance.

Am really happy to hear u call ur mom-in-law amma.But to me I can never ever call anyone other than my mother as AMMA...at the same time I feel very possessive when someone calls my mother as AMMA even if its my lil one...I knw I knw may be I m not broad minded but I am used to it.....dono y am very stubborn in this...:)

Nothing much from my side....made her fav dates cakes and saw her enjoy it!!
