A Tribute to GODS Weirdest Creation- INDIAN MOM

Well the recipe of an Indian mom is pretty simple. Ingredients include major portions of love, scoldings, cooking, best wishes and melodrama. Add to all these a hint of vampish behaviour ( my due regards to Ekta Kapoor for introducing this element) then a spoonful of snide remarks, a dash of fear, and beatings to taste. Mix well together and let it ferment to become a mixture which you can’t really stand but can’t really do without.

Alas, you have an Indian mom-
A person who might just say that the worst decision she made was that of marrying your father because she got you as a result of that decision but at the same time she will cry if you are just sick even for one day and say that you some unbearable pain.
She is a person who might just compare you to Mrs. Sharma's kid who is topping the school and scold you for not doing the same and for playing all the time, while in your absence boast about your sports talent to her friends and family.
A mixture of opposites- a series of contradiction.
She might just bring you most famous Hindi filmy KHEER when you are locked up in prison i.e. if u have the guts to tell her that you actually are locked up- beware of the result because before making Kheer she might just strangle you.
Indian mom is typically a very filmy person thanks to BOLLYWOOD which either shows moms as docile vulnerable creatures whose life just revolves around their kids and can even kill themselves to save their kids or as cruel and heartless when they come with a tag of being a step mom.
She will sometimes be overly melodramatic sometimes and may even fake a heart attack or pretend to faint when u give her a nasty shock which in the hearts of hearts she was expecting (like saying you have this girl you want to marry or tell her that you are in a live in relation—
P.S: Don’t blame me for consequences after doing all these things- you might just be murdered by your mom in the name of family pride)
and sometimes when you a almost hysterical she will provide you with calm composed strength that will even shock you..
She will always threaten to complain to your dad of your misbehaviour but when you demand for a thing she will even quarrel with your dad on your behalf-- confusing uuhhh...
Traditionally she will criticise every choice you will make from clothes, to job, to the beverage you drink, to your friend circle, to the life partner you choose- actually I think its a pre- requisite of becoming a parent- you have to pass a test of being irritating enough
and should be able nag enough- if u fail in this test then you still have a lot to learn a lot about parenting--and once you get this licence you have to really maintain your standards. Yaaa cuming back to the topic mom will always find a fault in everything you do. If you will buy sumthing for her then also it will either be too expensive or too cheap, or maybe out of date, or too jazzy for her, or it will make her look ancient etc etc. This sums to say she won’t even like what u shop for her or for yourself. And if you don’t bring her gifts then you are the miser who doesn’t even value the sacrifices she made while bringing you up and if you don’t shop for yourself then you are burdening her with so much work and are not sharing her responsibilities.
She will be the person who will give you so much of attention and try to please you in every possible way when you see her after maybe 2-3 weeks but within 2 days all that enthusiasm will vanish and she will be the person calling you a lazy sloth when you just try to sleep in for another 5 mins when she is trying to wake you up..
Well moms are almost impossible to please and even if you somehow manage this mighty task then she won’t ever show you that she is pleased.. It will always be a neighbourhood aunty telling you how pleased your mom is of your accomplishment.


But moms are the sweetest creatures in any case. Just imagine your hostle bag emptied of all those delicious eatables- cakes, biscuits, snacks, chips, LADOOS, and yes achar etc etc. Or of the things you will always forget to keep if you pack yourself and the surplus items she forces you to always carry with you..
Can you even imagine that..
She is always worried that something might go wrong even if everything is going right.. a person who will think about you more than you would think about yourself.. a person whose life would revolve around her kids as if she had no life before having kids..
Thats the sweetest nature of an Indian mom.. she will care for u, love you, scold you, bear with you, beat you( sometimes) and moreover show you the mirror whenever you need it.
She will be the only person who will believe in your abilities even when you yourself are not sure but wont skip a beat and scold you when you start getting to big for your boots.

Any Indian kid would tell you what a series of contradiction or mixture of opposites or confused souls are moms...
Rather probably it’s not the moms who are confused maybe it’s just us kids who are screwed up.


P.S.: Really missing you mom and dying for that taste of Rajma-Chawal and pranthas you make.. and even missing your funny and supposed to be evil comments...
