Back...

I've been tooooo busy. I've not been sleeping too well since my classes started, and my work is almost killing me because there's so much to prepare. In fact, I've forgotten what it's like to sleep...5 hours sounds so luxurious to me! One special thing that happened last month was my mom's 60th birthday. My sister gave her a surprise party at an Indian restaurant where all her friends showed up...I wrote a poem and framed it...she loved it, but the ultimate shock for her was when my sister showed her the receipt of the 42'' plasma T.V that she bought for my mom's bedroom...she was speechless!! She said this was the most unforgettable birthday she had...we had a great time. The funny thing is, my poor sister is so possessive and jealous that she hates it when my mom reads my poem, or tells someone about it. It's like torture to her! But that's something I love about her...she's so childish when it comes to that...never lets my mom hug me or smooth my hair away...she squeezes in between...she's cute! Well I guess she loves my mom more because she bought her the T.V and planned the whole thing...that's her point of view! It was a lovely day though. The rest of the days are so hectic, that I barely get to say a hi to my sister and kiss my mom goodday. Christ, I barely see my mom twice-thrice a week! This is getting worse each day...no sleep, no family fun, not a single friend...nothing except studying and working...sometimes I just wish to sleep away and think of my own pleasures...but then that would make me selfish and useless...sigh... Okay, stop whining Tanya!!
MOM
You hold my hand as I falter with every step.
You wipe my salty tears with your nurturing palms.
You soothe my darkest fears with your brightest smile.
You wrap me tight with all your warmth when I shiver in
the freezing cold.
Only when I see your assuring smile can I start my day.
Nothing makes me feel more secure than your bear hug.
Nothing shows me how much I’m loved more than your
little peck on my cheek.
I wouldn’t be the person I am without you.
As I celebrate your blessing in my life,
I just want to say… Thank You Mom!
