My thoughtful daughter

-
Sanja had been to a wedding yesterday with her maternal grandparents. She had a great time playing my father's friend 's grandkids.  She behaved like a very good girl and ate without much fuss. The curds were served in Matkas (small earthern cups). Sanja at once declared that she will take her cup back home for her mother. She made granny clean it up and took hold of it as priced possession. When everyone asked her why she is taking it with her , her reply
 Amma paint panuva, papa amma ku kuduka poren. (Amma will paint it, Iam going to give it to her) .

The background , she saw me painting the Diyas for Karthigai deepam this wednesday. She kept asking me
Amma , painting pannare ya ma (Amma are you painting). and remembered to get that earthern pot fo me .

Ahhh, gal, I learnt from you today, though the gifts can be small, they will be priceless when given with sooooo much of love.  Hugs to you Darling !!

PS: Iam gushing with joy and pride that my daughter is so very thoughtful.   Drishti suthi podam en ponnu ku

The baby gal turns mother

Sanja turns into mother hen !! Yesterday night we (S, mil, fil , sil , sanja , kicha ( sil's almost 2 month old son)) were having some discussion in the hall. S went to get the fruits for the night-banana. Sanja doesn't eat them, she is in borderline of whether to taste it or not and mostly gives up the banana. So yesterday she took mine, peeled the skin and was feeding me :P. She was asking me to take bites like I tell her to eat food. The other baby didn't want to be left out. He found that his akka was having something interesting and was rearing to get it to his mouth. Watching the 2 kids , we were laughing at the attics. Sanja then reminded me again - Amma aah( a-um) vangiko ma.. sappidhu ma. It sent us into another peals of laughter. Finally she got fed up with my slow eating and herself made pieces out of it and fed them into my mouth. Blessed me !!! I was all smiles. How much of a mother she is to me? She then proceeded to put the skin in the dustbin and wa

The food items prepared under this category is mainly meant for the new mother, to help her out in recovering from the internal wounds that she would have after the delivery. The main ingredients used for flavouring are pepper, pepper and some more pepper, ladles of ghee, salt. It is the post-natal care for both the new mother and the baby, making sure they don't suffer from indigestion. Nowadays , however, either due to the lack of support system( elderly people or parents) many of us just about take the normal food we have during normal times. But you can actually feel the difference the specially prepared food has compared to the normal diet we follow.   The options one has for this particular food preparation might be a tad bit limited, but with new experiments you can prepare a variety of d
