Hello there!!
Been a while I sat on my blog site. I was watching a movie yesterday after finishing our dinner and one of the movie scenes made me travel back in time with my childhood mother’s love and happiness filled memories. Here it is. Please read and enjoy! blink…blink…blink!!
It was way back in 90’s – 2000 I guess. The life used to be much calmer and settled. No gadgets, no partying hard and no hurry lifestyle in and around. Its only a few friends in the school and family around for me. I was one fortunate child who could spend more time with parents and people around, unlike the era that is happening now. It was like life is mine which is made only for me. There were already two kids before me and my father always loved the home to be full of laughing and jumping kids around. After I was born my family felt we are complete. The first two were calm and reserved by nature yet they are amazing kids in their own way. I was born calm where my mom says I didn’t cry much or bothered her much. I consider myself very different and more of nature’s person. I always loved to sleep with my mom or somewhere near to her. I feel there is a different warmth and secured feeling I get whenever I sleep with her or beside her. I always used to make sure I am closest to her and my hands wrapped around her body. This is one of the best and finest happiness in the world. I should say my innermost soul feels ecstatic even now with tiny tears in my eyes trying to flush out. Nothing else in this universe can beat this feeling of unconditional love and warmth. I believe this could be infants emotions too inside the mother’s womb before taking birth. Many emotions and feelings are not always explained in any language. Nature is the best way to understand and feel it.
My father used to work in a bank and once in three years, we are supposed to get transferred to a new place. Life used to be a bit different with a new place, a fresh bunch of buddies and a new school. However, after some time there are many new stories that would come up with new people and school times. I remember I was in class 6 at age of 12. This time it was not a very well developed city but a town with a limited number of people and one single highway that has the complete town staying to its right and left. We had a very big portico in the house we rented.
There used to be power cuts in summers where we stayed. A lot of mosquitoes too. I know its very gloomy to study especially during exams and during night times but these powercuts gave me wonderful memories is what I think now. 🙂
We had no other option but to set up beds outside our home and try to get some sleep. My father never liked the idea of sleeping out. He somehow adjusted himself inside the bedroom itself. I felt sad for him as the rooms were very hot from the daylight sun. My mom, my sister, brother and myself would always love to sleep outside. Most of the times, I am the one who tries to secure a big bed to sleep beside my mother. I use to have many funny and senseless conversations with her from my tiny mind at that age. My mother used to answer many with utmost patience and grace. I remember we both used to spot many shapes of the stars and tarot signs from the sky. We used to talk about Milkyway, galaxies and many more. Slowly without my conscience, I used to get into sleep as the cold and soothing wind comes and passes by. Wrapping myself inside the blanket that I and my mom shared was the beautiful feeling I ever had. In the middle of the night, If I had a short break of opening my eyes, I make sure to check my mom is beside me. Nights are sometimes scary too. 🙂 My mother is my biggest support and safety cover. Whenever I think of the old times, I feel how close and happy I was in my childhood with her always being around me and spending more time with me.
The time she invested in me and in my growth is priceless. The happiness and secured feeling my mind gathered at that tender age got so stuck in me, I feel pleasant and happy even today. Memories and her presence in my life since I am born are the ones I cherish forever. After marriage though I moved to some other place with my partner, I carry all the wonderful times spent with her and continue to do so. Mother is one of the wonderful creation of God from whom nature continues to re-happen. Please give time to your mothers at their old age and try all the possible ways to make her feel good and special. Family time and true emotions can’t be found everywhere. They are rare and priceless. Please value your families, time in your life and gods gift of life.
It’s sad when I see today’s newborns where they are left in daycares right from 6 months of age after they are born. Those were the lovely nights and serene sleep times I had in my childhood with my mother and nature. Happiness lies in tiny things. It’s rare that we realize and feel it. I believe for whatever I am today my parents are completely responsible. They gave me the most secured childhood and a great life.
These days I carry similar experiences with my better half on our holiday times now and then. He also enjoys sitting and spotting stars with me. I feel this is one way of relaxing ourselves and touching our souls within of being together. We spend time chatting and checking tiny, big and sparkling stars under the biggest natures roof. I believe in praying whenever we spot a falling star too. One of my friend and a lot of movies made me do so. 🙂
Even today, I love to share and recollect all my lovely moments of life with my mother and father back home.
Thanks as always for stopping by and reading my blog!
