Miss you mom…

Mother’s day!!

It was the days of doordarshan and the buzz was a Mithun Da movie called Rukshat and there was a scene which was considered adult at that time!.

All the guys in my class especially Sapan the craziest fan of Mithun and Nilofer the second craziest fan had narrated the scene with vivid and different discription (read spicy!!) Every other time!

Those were the days when a movie used to be screened only on Sunday evenings and of course everyone would watch that only and have an extensive discussion on Monday!!

Any such scene would of course never be there!
Everything was left to imagination and we would see two flowers coming together in close embrace prudently disregarding every law of nature and wind direction!!!

So this was a big thing and the scene was set!
We even knew when the scene would come and myself and my brother were ready!
He of course had a book which he would read and watch movie in between (though rarely would I see a page turn!!)!

So the time came and we were keen with anticipation and at that moment my mom suddenly asked me to get a glass of water!!
I was both shocked and surprised but there was no escaping that command!
My brother just then turned the page so he was safe!
I ran towards the fridge to get water, fill a glass and ran back just to see to my dismay that the scene was over!!
And I could swear that mom had an all knowing smile on her face!
The next day I was dreading to go to school since I would know that everyone would be discussing the scene Especially Sapan and I would be either forced to keep quiet lie!

I was this surprised to see a quiet class the next day!
The most silent was Sapan!
I asked him what happened and did he watch the scene!??
He said with remorse that he could’nt watch it!
I asked him why? To which he replied that, He went to get a glass of water for his mom!!!

Only Nilofer was smiling and we were all amazed how he could survive mom’s safety attack!

He replied with a wink and twinkle, “I was reading a book!!”

That’s when I realized the work of mom’s in this world who like super heroes protect their kids against the attack of the idiot box!
Am sure that just like the justice league and avengers even Moms will have a meet before any such problem and discuss the counter measures!
One would suggest coin under the table or bed or hide the face under sheet though most would use the easiest and best attack; glass of water!!!

Other special super power includes getting money out of the sugar jar and from dad!
That special prayer before exams and blessing of the exam board which was the single most important reason why anyone would pass!.
and that special food when we were not well which would drive the cold away!!


The other day I had taken the whole family to Bahubali and I had prepared my kids for all possible attacks!
The loud noise, the killing and those animals but there was a scene when Bahu gets too close to comfort to Devasena and I was too stunned to react!
I had only a few seconds to make my move!!
So I called both my kids who were glued to the screen and asked them if they want a glass of water!!

The scene was tackled successfully and my mom looked at me and gave that same smile!!

You can pray and pray but in the end a glass of water will save the day!!

Here’s wishing my mom the best mom in the whole world a very happy mothers day!!!
Miss you…
