Ma knows All...
One of my weekend practices is to call up home. So come Saturday morning, I ring up home, talk to my sis and then she hands over the phone to my mom. I had just uttered a hello when she started asking me what was wrong with my health, that my voice sounded as if I was ill and not in the best of conditions. Well, I was perfectly fine then and had no inkling of what lay in store for me. During the course of conversation, she came up with the topic a couple more times until she was convinced that I was allright. Well all said and done, an hour after my India call, I realised my body felt warm to my touch and my handy digital thermometer told me that I had high fever. Bodyache, headache and heavy headedness followed shortly and before I knew it, I was in bed.
I dont want to tell the latter part of the story but I am still amazed at how my mom caught wind of the oncoming fever that I was going to catch. As I lay in bed, burning with fever yet shivering, aching all over, I might have called out "Amma" like a zillion times.
Mother child relationship, very strange, eh? Very difficult to fathom.
