She is by my side all day long.She is a constant companion,a guide,a mentor,a confidante and so,very close to my heart…
Daily,I wake up without an alarm and when I get up ,she is wide awake.Mind you! she does not sleep a wink.
I love to sleep and I can fall asleep,when I wish too.That’s a gift,I inherited from her…She sings “Rock a bye Baby on the LapTop “Sleep Darling sleep," and I love to obey She is such a sweetheart…
Mother had a long list of do’s and don’t’s..She said..” We are all up by 4AM.Its perfectly ok if you oversleep upto 5AM.”…With a lump in my throat ,I had nodded my head as if to say…”Oh ! You are so generous.You are so kind.Thank you so much.”...Anyway,that was a habit,I had to cultivate, much to the annoyance of my companion.I must have really offended the kind hearted soul….
Nevertheless,since then,I have come a long way ,sometimes abiding by her wishes and sometimes not. Today my body clock is tuned in such a way that eyelids force close at 10 PM and open at 5AM sharp..I am her diehard fan ,when it comes to sleep patterns that she designs especially for me .In the midst of a one to one live conversation,one day,she had told me,”7 hours of Beauty sleep every day,keeps age defying lotions away…Needless to say ,I was thrilled….How could I go against her wishes…..
She is fresh at the crack of dawn.She likes an oil lamp burning bright,the fragrance of the sandalwood incense and the hot cuppa .So I will please her .At my back,constantly,she nags,and yet,she is a source of great motivation.The days headlines and idle surfs can wait,she says,because duty comes first.A good leader leads by example and all that he has to do is to show the correct path,for others to follow.She does just that....Inspite of her repeated warnings,I do manage a few sneak peeks....
She is perfect,she is obsessed,she claims what she says is right.I must be idolizing her otherwise why would I be blindly taking orders..I must be loving her passionately…that’s exactly another reason why I can take her for granted and also disobey her….
But for her,I would have ignored the hanging cobwebs.She reminds me of the pending laundry work and the vaccum undone.The larder is half empty,I know,because she keeps reminding me of that.She is the mastermind behind all my decisions.She decides the daily breakfast,lunch and dinner menu ,my holidays,my friends,and what I should wear to work and to party.She plans my budgets,oversees my expenses,curtailing wherever she deems fit.She approves my exorbitant purchases too and prepares my draft daily conversations minute by minute…She helps me to exercise restraint and also express anger.She teaches me to love,respect,fear,abhor,help,ignore,like,dislike be kind ,accept ,refuse and don various roles…..
She asked me to pray one day and then she gave me faith.Aspire,she said and then gave me the reason to work.She placed stumbling blocks on the way and then she gave me the strength to overcome them..She showed me the path and then I did not look back…..
She watches my movements,and brings me back to track,when I stray.She likes me to do what I like to do and I am happy doing what she thinks I like to do.She must be guilty of being crazy. She drives me nuts.She made me write all this,saying ,”Unwind my dear ! “..
She’s my conscience…..Goodness Gracious ! She is My God......
