Me: Okay okay when we go out we will eat your Bada pao.

Ar: No teacher said we shouldn’t eat outside food!

(I put in extra labor and made vada pao customized to his preferences, with cheese, capsicum etc etc)

PADE Day 11 Street

Welcome to a fresh new day at PADE

Theme for today is “Street”

And here is my interpretation

(C) Juztamom

“No, don’t hold my hands,

I want to walk alone;

on the streets of life”

This photograph was taken on the street just outside our building. It was my elder one’s first day at school. We were more nervous than him. This was his first big step outside our home. What if he falters? What if he cries? What if he refuses to let go?

Yes there were tears and refusal to let go of the hand but it was not him but me...crying my hearts out..not willing to let go of his small hands..No he did not cry, didn’t even get upset, just waved us bye and went. All of 2.5 years old, eager to be on his own and eager to let go!!

Rains (haiku)

soaked and drenched

dancing in mud

a small toothy smile

--------------------------------------

hot corn fritters

melt in my mouth

I taste the rains

I walk barefoot

in the rain

healed within

Amma's tiffin

A postcard of love

Glistened and glowing, with love and care

Wild and flowing, in grins and tears

Dipped in magic, dusted in flavor

Filled with love, layer on layer

Each cut, each burn

Each twist, each turn

Tidy untidy kitchen

Notes unspoken and written

Coins and pennies, notes and cards

Nothing when compared to hugs and hearts

Help of spices to tickle the taste buds

With each spoon and sprinkle, nostalgia rubs

Responsibility and growing up,

Falling and getting up

Memories and longing

All packed and pouring

Mark your calendar, set your alarm

Make room in your heart and your barn

A postcard of love is on the way

Amma's tiffin is on the way
