Maa to maa hoti hai!
She is neither my mother nor my grandmother; she is my best
friend mamta’s mother. I saw another face of my mother. Am so lucky to have two
mothers, no one would be that fortunate as I am. I don’t feel like stranger at
my friend’s home. She’s the only woman in this world on whom I can rely on
after my mom.
As I said am talking about my best friend’s mom. My friend is basically from Karnataka and
speaks Tulu language. This is the funniest language I have ever heard. My
friend says me this is most difficult language in south India, but I didn’t found
it so difficult. I can understand what they speak and even I can speak few of
words like if I have to say to someone ‘how are you?’ then ‘eenche ulle?’ and
for that reply would be ‘yaan sauke ulle.’ It means ‘m fine.’
I and my friend became friends since when I was in eight standard.
But I came more close to her when we entered our graduation. On the day of our
admission I met to her mom, it’s not like that I didn’t met her before but this
was the turning point of my life. I did not know what god was going to gift me.
I had experienced two
kinds of food made by my two mothers, north Indian and south Indian, waste
difference but tastes yummy. As a north Indian I was not habituate south Indian
food, but taste of hand of my this mom made me to eat it. Now south Indian food
is my favorite foods. My favourite dish is ‘Neer dosa’.
She also scolds me whenever I do anything wrong. She is so
friendly with me, even she teases me like my friends teases me, And I get so
shy my face turns red when a mom like lady teases.
When I shifted to new college and home she was saying me ‘will
miss you, how will my daughter live without you, you both are like sisters never
separated from each other.’ She also was saying ‘stay here only beta, you both
study here only, my daughter will get alone without you.’
Even now also whenever I visit her, she is always glad to
welcome me and says ‘beta why did you go? We miss you so much; you are like our
family member.’
I don’t visit any friend or my relatives but I make sure
that before leaving I’ll meet my best friend and her mom at least once.
I don’t like to drink tea, but she always forces me to have
it and now I got habit of it. She also
serves me food forcefully my mom also don’t force that much, but I like everything
whatever she does, she is very frank and fun loving person. I just love her.
I have another heaven in her arms.

A MOTHER IS THE TRUEIST FRIEND WE HAVE,
WHEN TRIALS, HEAVY & SUDDEN, FALL UPON US;
WHEN ADVERSITY TAKES THE PLACE OF PROSPERITY;
WHEN FRIENDS WHO REJOICE WITH US IN OUR SUNSHINE;
DESERTS US WHEN TROUBLES THICKEN AROUND US;
STILL SHE WILL CLING TO US;
AND ENDEAVOR BY HER KIND PERCEPTS & COUNSELS TO
DISSIPATE THE CLOUD OF DARKNESS;
AND CAUSE PEACE TO RETURN TO OUR HEARTS.
