Orange Lemonade with Honey Ginger Syrup – Freshly squeezed Orange juice combined with lime juice and sweetened with honey ginger syrup
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Moms in the world. The world revolves and rotates just because of you!
When Mom has to be celebrated every day in our life, today is the special day for her! Mom, the most ignored human in our life. Today, tell her how much you love her and how much she means to you!
Here is my letter to my Amma!
“There is only one mother in this world who is the best one; the one that every kid has got.”
Dear Amma,
Hope you are doing great. This letter is to let you know that distance doesn’t matter between us. There has been never a day without the thought of you. I know, when you called me the other day, I was completely involved with my daily chores and couldn’t attend your call. It’s not ignorance; I know you will understand the reason behind it and would never mistake me. amma. The mere presence of you near would have made myself better. I remember I yelled at you when you disturbed me during a phone talk with a friend during childhood. You had called me for dinner. But then now, I long for a date with you.There have been days when I needed you.
There were days when I complained about the dish which you prepared repeatedly. You had prepared it often as it’s my favorite. Time has changed, Amma. I love to have you around me during my gray days and wish to enjoy your hot rasam rice. I remember I enjoyed the whole day in my bed during my menstrual cycle every month. But now, I have to pick myself and run with the flow, Amma. You never know how much I miss you.
While I miss you terribly these days, I understood your sacrifices which you made for bringing up me. I have been a troublesome kid from my childhood. I would have been patient like you if I was you, Amma. Thank you for tolerating all my naughtiness and disturbances. I know, amma, you would never consider me as a disturbance.
Wish I would have been ana understanding kid. Thank you, Amma for everything!
Love you Amma! Wish you healthy and happy years ahead
