Half Pizza - A tale of every Mother

Half Pizza - A tale of every Mother Last night when my mother came back from office she brought back a half pizza. Typically mumma brings something or the other to eat while her way back from office .Either a sandwich , some chaat or a Wada Pav .Anything yet unquestionably something.  But as this pizza was half I was wondering where did it come from. When I asked her she said in the afternoon she had to visit some place for some official work. It was her lunch time and as she was hungry so she bought a pizza to eat. It was a tiny little pizza cut into four halves. She ate two and brought the other two for me and my brother. When I asked her why couldn't you finish such a small pizza she replied " How can I eat a pizza without you two " .Listening to this my heart smiled . And this was not the first time ,she always does this. If she visits a restaurant without us and loves the food then she will make sure she takes us there. If someone shares a chocolate

When he said " Watch TANHAJI over CHHAPAAK" .. Read what she said.. Not many weeks back I saw the movie Chhapaak .Throughout the movie I was crying. The physical as well as emotional trauma that these acid attack survivors have to go through is something we cant even imagine.

I cried a lot during this movie too.These men define Patriotism in its true sense. This movie was praised by individuals and so was Veer Maratha Tanhaji as his story was unknown to many.I heard a man saying to individuals "Watch TANHAJI over CHHAPAAK".He meant one should watch Tanhaji

Haldi Kunku – Version 2.0

Haldi Kunku – Version 2.0 Being from a Maharashtrian family, I have seen the custom of celebrating  Haldi Kunku ever since I was a little girl. My mother used to welcome SOUBHAGYAWATI's and offer them a vaan (a little token of gift) and apply Haldi Kunku on their forehead. Ladies exchanging haldi kunku is a symbol of their wedded status and a desire they make for the long lives of their better half. From a few years I am seeing that the number of ladies visiting my home for this function is increasing. May be on the grounds that my mother is making new companions is why we see this increase in number.Now this year I saw another advanced form to this function. I was so glad to see that my mother welcomed ladies from the Hindu religion as well as she ensured she welcomed ladies from different religions too either they were Muslims, Christians or from some other religion.  Celebration of this ceremony was traditionally restricted only to married woman whose husba
