Saree: extremely simple plain cotton Saree . Choli: orange and red combo silk cotton (self design)
Story:The saree I am wearing is Deedha's (ma's mom). Rewind August 2007. Me to ma: will he forget me if I go to work? How will he know it's me his mom? How can I focus on work at all when my thoughts revolve around him? Ma tried her best to boost and cheer me up. After all so many moms have been there and done this before but my questions kept me disappointed. Deedha calls me. Deedha says - I hear that you are nervous getting back to work... shon chinni.. I have worked all my life until retirement so let me tell you this much.
1. You must of course get back to work. Being a mom means stepping up not giving up, this is just the beginning.
2. You being mom now doesn't mean you will give up on your mothers (Amma and ma) dreams about you.
3. No one can ever take your position in your son's life. Never. Ever. Boka mey.. Etaei prithvir niyam.. keo bodlate parbena. Ma tho ma i hoche. So cheer up! She was so right as it is today!!! It was indeed priceless wisdom from so many years that cheered me up. Deedha was in IAS until retirement and very forward thinking yet humble lady. She was way ahead of her time. Love you Deedha. Miss you. Hope you are in peace wherever 💓
