~~Shopping for my mum~~

Last week when my mum was here she complained that I haven't got anything for her from Chennai till this year.Before even I was about to give my justification she listed out things which I should for her when I go home.List was like she had some dupattas in few colors for all those she needed matching Chudidars. Hmmmmm...I going asking my mum to get a matching shirt for my hanky next time.She further added my dad has got her a Chudidar last week indirectly mentioning I had to get more than that to beat him on count.

When I was in Cochin weekend means going to some tourist place or going for shopping.And in a world where most of the items for meant for ladies I used to get some random stuffs.My failure to find a proper mallu kutti also added to mum's favour.She became sole user of whatever stuffs I used to get.Things changed when I came to Chennai. As the city is filled with friends and relatives weekends were spent visiting these people. So mum's dress flow dried up for the past one year.

Friday I read in news that a new mall 'Skywalk' has been opened near our locality.A place recently opened means it will have all new collections.New collections means I can get the right size which will fit for my mum. Getting stuffs for my mum was a cakewalk affair.I had to follow a simple elimination procedure, look for her size 90% of the dress collection can be rejected.Then in the remaining 10% look for the color she told other colors can be rejected.Only handful remained, put inky pinky ponky and choose three from it.When I was about to bill I remembered there is another poor fellow in my house and I got a T shirt for my dad.

I m going to Trichy tonight to give all those stuffs I have got for them :)

~~Eating out with mum~~

Since mum was in the city I told her early in the evening we will eat outside.But with mum whatever plans I make when I come home the situation will make me wonder whether I have miscommunicated anything. So when I reached around 8 from office she was there lying in bed busy chating with my grandma. I remembered her around few times that it will be late for dinner ,I m hungry but it had little effect.Then used my final weapon please go and cook .Within 5 mintues she was ready.

Only we were out of home we decided to go to Bombay Halwa some 200 m from our place. But my mum insisted on catching an auto and the good reason she gave its not her but for grandma. Okay Madam your wish my command! took an auto to reach the place. Then dinner was routine affair. Came back home the same way we reached there.

Whose knows doing these kinds of services to mum will get me a place heaven!
