and there she was....

It was 11:45 pm. I woke up. I couldn't talk, I couldn't see, I couldn't walk, only thing I knew was to cry and exactly the same I did. Probably I was hungry, probably I was not, I don't remember. A three-day-old doesn't have a great memory, right? I was crying. and there she was, with a smile, ready to placate me.

It was 11:45 pm again. I was nervous, I was scared, I was feeling lonely at my table in the light of the table lamp. It was my board exam. First paper staring at me, just two days away. I dint know what to do. And there she was at the door with a glass of Bournvita and all the support that I needed.

It was 11:45 pm that day. I was moving to Mysore. I was excited. My first job. I dint know what to pack and what not. Clothes went in and came out of my old suitcase. I wanted to carry a lot but didn't have enough space. I thought of taking the most important things only, so, no space for Ma's rava-laddoo. I dint know how to manage. And there she was, this time with a couple of tears in her eyes and a new trolley bag in her hand.

It was 11:45 pm today. Taare Zameen Par had just got over. The song Maa had welled me. The only thing that was on my mind was to run to Ma, hug her and cry. And there she was, this time on the call. And I cried!!! The only thing I could say was "Tujhe sab hai pata, hai na Maa.... meri Maa...."
