Yo ,Momma !
As much as thought of not doing a post on Mother’s Day, I
finally give in.
Me and my mom have always had an interesting relationship. We
are not like those lovey-dovey mothers and daughters who always agree on everything
and do everything together.
Infact ,we disagree on everything and by that I literally
mean EVERYTHING !
From wall colours to food to clothes, we have always had our arguments. My mom is a Leo and I am a Taurean and you know what happens when
the lion gets against the bull, right ?
My mother has a great taste in fashion, like amazing. But it
suddenly degrades when I ask her to shop something for me and well vice versa. That
is the reason why no matter wherever we both go we never ask each other to buy something.
I bought her ‘juttis’ when I went to Rajasthan, it’s been 3 years and she hasn’t
worn them since. Now that I am 400 kms away from her ,I do miss shopping with her the most ,she is such a great critic . No matter what piece of clothing you pick up ,she will always have something to say about it . I got her a Chanel perfume for her last birthday ,she hated it :|
But that's what I love about my mom ,she is so perky all the time. No body can ever get bored in her company. And you know why I love her so much, she always gave me the
freedom to be me. Even if she hates the clothes I wear, she never told me to go
change. She has always been supportive in no matter what I did. She never laid
restrictions, she might have been a little harsh and protective at times but
that was okay, every kid needs that. But never did she ever try to force
anything on me. Even if I got home late sometimes from parties, she would ask
me about the party instead of scolding.
Things I want to copycat from my mom :
- Making Kadhai Paneer
- Taking care of 2 decade old clothes
- Yelling at the exact right time
- Watch 4 tv serials at the same time
- Her dressing sense
- Going OCD for cleaning :D
My mother is probably the strongest women I have ever seen,
and I owe everything I have to her . I wish I could be as strong as she is , at least half of it .
This is a picture of me and my mom from my first birthday,
almost 20 years old
PS : It’s my birthday tomorrow ,so excited !
Hope you all have a great day
Love
Ritika

Ah, Happy Birthday! So you are born close to Mother's Day, how special. Lovely post, Ritika. Moms are like that. They support us and fight with us. And, my son is a Taurean. You guys can be so headstrong ;-).
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachna :)
DeleteYes ,taureans are headstrong and stubborn but come on ,we are lovable too ;)
That was a lovely post! Moms and daughters are like that, aren't they :) I used to have a crazy relationship with my mum, when I was your age - now I just love her :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you :) Hope you're having a great day.
Thanks a lot wordsndreamz :)
DeleteI think my relationship with my mom will always be crazy ;)
Girl, if you are appreciating your mom so much in your 20's, wait till you have kids of your own ;). I was respecting every god damn parent who walked on the planet after a couple of days of being a mom !! ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha..true indeed ! :D
DeleteHeh! Me and my Mom make it a point that we never see eye to eye. And she makes sure I know, that I never do anything right!
ReplyDeleteWe get on each others nerves but she's the first person I call, when I have something happy to share.
Same here . My mom was so happy when I was finally going off to college ;). But she does feel lonely now ,so she keeps calling me on Skype :D
DeleteGood one! Is is those who fight that stay the closest :-)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a Taurean and as bull headed as you get them, but then where is the fun otherwise? I'm sure your mother would be thinking the same as well.
And, many happy returns of the day, though late by a couple of days! Have a great year ahead!
It's never too late ,thanks a lot :)
DeleteYup ,there is no fun being the 'goody two shoes' ;)
Belated happy birthday to you, Ritika! Hope you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful relationship you share with your mom!
LOL @ watching 4 serials at a time!
And same pinch on OCD for cleaning! :D
Oh she can even watch 6 if you challenge her :D
DeleteThank you so much for your wishes,means a lot :)
I could relate to this post so much. Even my mom, gives me freedom to be myself. And I too have a list of things I want to copy from my mom! I can watch 4 serials at the same time. ( I hardly get time to watch TV, so when I do I watch everything!)
ReplyDeleteThat really is some seriously talent ,you know :D
DeleteI can never do that ! I watch all of my shows online just so I dont have to miss any bit .
Now this was a real different post on Mothers Day! Belated Happy birthday Ritika! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much CD :)
