Happy Mothers Day
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or email alerts. Thanks for visiting!
This time last year, I was fortunate enough to spend Mother’s Day with my mom. She was visiting us for the summer and kick starting wedding preparations with the new bride-to-be. I’m not the type of the consumer that Hallmark loves so I tend to skip sending gifts for such random commercially-imposed occasions (notice how such occasions are evenly spaced out?) although she loved the flowers we sent for her birthday couple of months ago. I would’ve love to treat my mother to a special dinner if she were any closer. My brother, Aditya has a whole restaurant at his disposal and is in fact, treating all mothers in Bombay or at least the ones that turned up tonight with their kids. Also, thanks to the way the law works, I’ve one more mother now and
Ash helps me in wishing her.
Happy Mothers Day, Aaie. And wishing all the mothers the same too.
PS. No smart-alec comments on the way I look in the photo above. What can I say, I was born with long hair. Reminds me to go for a haircut today; it’s covering my eyes now.

I’ll still ask why there are two women in the picture above. Yep.
I wish I had long hair though. Bad :(

I thought the same too - that’s a cute little girl. :D

cute….. :)
I would agree with the earlier commentators. it’s amazing how parents of a certain generation used to cross dress their kids … with no obvious impact on the grown up kids ( i came across pics of my brother aged 2 in a dress…. he is 35 now :)

Sigh! Do I regret putting up that picture (again) now. And my poor brother was subjected to much more due to his boyish/girlish looks (chikna in Bombay lingo). My parents once had a bright idea of dressing him up like a girl for our Diwali cards. Thankfully for sake of his mental health, they didn’t do it :)

Seen the new Dove ad? The one that lists girl hair styles?
In the end, they come up with (what I think is) the most beautiful one, called the “Boy Girl Hair”.
I think you’re a perfect example ;)

Yuvi, you sure are enjoying this, right? :) Haven’t seen the ad but I think my brother’s hair can be described like that. I just tend to grow it long. Better than having less hair, right?

Well, let’s just say I’m one of those guys who is mad at himself for not having long enough hair. My hair can be described pretty succinctly as a brush tipped in tar and then heated in a furnace. Not the long flowy type that I love. Sigh.
I can’t find a link to the ad on YouTube though. Bad.
You still have that type of hair? If so, lucky you ;)

Man, those days. When lines between blue and pinks were blurred, at least in eyes of the parents. I had to endure through similarly scarred memories, but they got washed away on 26th July a couple of years ago. Waaitatoonhi kahi changla hota mhaNtaat na, tyatla prakar.

Yuvi, well, all I can say is that hair isn’t a problem for me, thanks to my genes :)
nku, it is a wonder how we manage to emerge unscathed, right?
