In the old days, I remember exchanging aerogrammes with my mother. In today's technology savvy age, believe it or not, Speed Dial 7-- Lucky 7 -- is for Mummy! Mummy and I have not yet reached the texting stage. Who knows, maybe I'll text her after I'm done to see how she's enjoying her day?

My guru once said that we make an effort to spend time and appreciate our mothers only once a year, on Mother's Day; but Mother's Day should be every day. We should love, respect and appreciate our mothers everyday.

It's also been said that because God could not be everywhere, he created mothers.

My mother is my best friend! Mummy, I love you and wish you a Very Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers, too! Pat yourself on the back, you've done a great job!
Your run a very tough "corporation" every day. In today's world, a mother is more than a Super Woman! Most moms have to juggle between their jobs and their maternal responsibilities - exchanging their Super Woman "cape" for an "apron" once they enter their home.

Today, let the dishes sit in the sink, let the clothes be in the hamper. Today is your special day. So take a bubble bath, put on your favorite perfume, or essential oil, sit and relax with your feet up.

Let them pamper you!  Enjoy the kisses and hugs. Cherish these special moments.

Happy Mother's Day!

Girl Rising

Little girls in this country watch t.v., have play dates, take swimming, violin or tennis classes. They sometimes don't feel like going to school and are picky about what they eat. They sleep in a warm, cozy bed surrounded by their favorite dolls and toys. In another part of the world, there are little girls who can't go to school and instead work from 3 a.m. to 11 p.m. washing pots, doing other household chores, and who are lucky enough to eat scraps of food and have a dry ground to sleep on. Have you seen Girl Rising ? I watched the trailer yesterday and heard excerpts from the book. Tears welled up my eyes. This inspirational film is a must see. Immediately, the MZ Wallace bag I have been eyeing on seemed irrelevant. I was embarrassed of my Amazon "wish list." We live in a materialistic world and desire more each day while in certain parts of the world $5 is a fortune! We live in a free country, we are free of masters, have the ability to receive free education...

Did You Hit Delete?

Have you ever hit delete in error? We always get a prompt – are you sure you want to delete? Or “Proceed to delete?” “Are you sure you want to permanently delete this file?” You get a second chance. Will we be given a second chance before we are “Deleted?” All this reflection started out when to my utmost horror and astonishment I discovered that the number of photographs in my “Album” on my Samsung phone had changed from 3,000 to 3! WTH! I took a deep breath and said, surely, there must be a mistake.” Quickly went through each album on my phone – and as my heart thumped, the tears came trickling out – oh dear! All the photos were gone! Sad. So Sad. Very Sad. There went pictures from my daughter’s wedding – I consoled myself with the fact there were professional ones from the photographer; and in a way, it was a blessing that I got rid of the clutter. As the day transpired, I began to think of other photos that were delete...

The New Kick in My Block

Did you know that this is the original Sriracha? Mrs. Chakkapak created it in her kitchen in Si Racha, Thailand, for her family and friends. See article from Bon Appetit by Andrea Nguyen. I came across this chopstick-licking sauce, which is hot, yet slightly sweet, during my trek to the Thai Grocery Store. I prefer it to the sweet chili sauce with loads of pepper seeds. Sriraja has the right kick! What I especially appreciate is that it is free of preservatives and artificial coloring and has no msg! Can't wait to dig in to my bowl of noodles! Bon appétit! Jyoti
