Being a mother

Mothering just grows on you so much so that you begin to start enjoying it after a certain point of time.The stress,the sleepless nights,the endless rocking,the incessant whining ,crying while you just hover around not knowing exactly whats wrong with the little one and how to stop her crying,and also how to keep your own temper in check.Everything takes a backseat when she looks at me with that little twinkle in her eyes,when she gives me a clumsy flying kiss,or when she smothers me by clambering all over me ,giggling all the time.I’m loving it.

But,I cannot turn this into a mommy blog because I think I simply cannot do justice to my adorable little brat,in words.

Enna Vannam !

A breezy evening.A beautiful sky.A cuppa steaming coffee.The love of my life and the apple of my eye beside me.

Could life get better than this ? And ,oh ,yea ,beautiful lyrics and music playing in my mind.

Alaiyillaatha aazhi vannam,

Mugillilaatha vaanin vannam..

Mayilin kazhuthil vaazhum vannam,

kuvalai poovil kuzhaitha vannam.

Oothapoovil ootriya vannam,

ellaam sernthen kann munn minnum. [ithu mattum paathi original lyric ] “

And a mediocre mobile phone camera to capture the kodak moment.

Chennai Nagaram

பேச்செல்லாம் தாலாட்டு போல என்னை உறங்க வைக்க நீ இல்லை 
தினமும் ஒரு முத்தம் தந்து காலை கோபீ கொடுக்க நீ இல்லை
விழியில் விழும் தூசி தன்னை எடுக்க நீ இங்கு இல்லை
மனதில் எழும் குழப்பம் தன்னை தீர்க்க நீ இங்கு இல்லை..

நான் இங்கே நீயும் அங்கே
இந்த தனிமையில் நிமிஷங்கள் வருஷம் ஆனதேனோ

Yup,absence makes the heart grow fonder.The magic only grows stronger.And,despite a year or more of listening to this song like a thenjupona record till its kicked out of your playlist,suddenly,every word takes on a new meaning.You find yourself humming every line and feeling it.Lesson learnt:That that situation,that that song one should hear.
