"Mazi Aaii."

Mazi Aaii, was the most beautiful woman I know in my life. She was not only beautiful but she was also a very good mother and a very good cook. A very passionate to do things in time and was very hard to catch time when it was very  important in life. 

But…... when did TIME caught her no one realised……..

She was the best event manager. She used to do a lot of preparations before any event, literally... it may be my elder sister's marriage or it may be her own hospitalisation. It may be a study taking hour or it may be my father's arrival from his office. Everything was just as it was needed, wanted, exact of that particular time. 

She was a very graceful lady and very good at ART and HEART. She always had a rich taste, and rich choice. She was a very good dress designer. Her ART of dress designing has acquired by my elder sister.  And her cooking ART was grabbed by my younger sister. For me I got a little bit of her looks and little bit of everything. And one more thing I have taken from her and that is her Feeling language. 

She always used to ask us all, "What is feeling to you?"  Whenever we used to go to her; in the late evening to share everything whatever happened in a day. She used to ask us about feelings and thoughts, about particular situation and what was happening to us. I remember one day Me and my all friends;  we could not play in the evening because a very tall boy was deliberately playing with his FOOT BALL in the ground; Everyone took his side and asked us to play somewhere else, but when she saw me crying she went to that boy and explained him how was it feeling to us and why not you all play together?   She was a very good analyser with very practical approach. 

She had decided a special sweet for all our birthdays. For me- Pooran Poli, my elder sister -Chirote, my younger sister, tirangi Narali bhat,  Goolab Jamoon, and my brother- Shrikhand.  And she used to have plans to make them and keep them ready exactly on our B. days. Mostly she used to cook at night so that she can make them mindfully. She had bought different Dinner Plates for all of us; As soon as we started eating from our own from plate, she took us to the market to buy our own plates.  And we used to have our Lunch and Dinner in the same plate everyday. It was not only hygienic but also it was very easy for us to clean them and keep them back at there places. 

When we were four siblings, she divided the whole house work besides cooking between me and my elder sister. According to her this is how we learn house keeping and she was so correct. We are how we are because of her. We learn a lot while doing things. 

And when she was suffering from her cancer; I still remember on the last day and the last some minutes, When she saw her Son-in -law, (Elder sister's husband) was there in the house to see her; even in that condition she asked us to make TEA for him. 

After her, we all felt that, as if she is still there, anytime she will come and ask us to eat something delicious. All our relatives, friends, family friends felt it, when they visited our home to Console us, to help us, mentioned that as if she was there too, always with us all. She had done a lot of work in the house. She had prepared us all so well that as if she said that;  let her be there with her absence for her journey to the almighty god. And we all will live life  as if she is there with us, all the time. They were right. We all have learned a lot from her. 

And at one point we actually did not want to see her in PAINS she was going through. And important part was she was knowing it. She never wanted us to see her in pains. She would have never liked it.  

So what we all learned from her is that,
"Self help and get helped on TIME. Help others on TIME too. "

What is the most strongest memory you have about your Mother? Would you like to share here?
