MOM,sunrise

“Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.”

this is pic of my mom(she was 23 years old then) she is sitting in veranda of our cottage in Bangalore,India. 

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
― Washington Irving

Marriage Ceremony of my son

Our children can take strange tacks and end up in places we never would have predicted.  A friend’s daughter grew up to be a fashion designer in Eurat, Gujrat.  “It was not a career path I ever envisioned for her,” the father said.  Another friend had a son who partied and slacked his way through school but went on to earn $30 million in the tech business.  The mother shook her head.  “I never would have predicted that.

So it was for me.  I never imagined my son would marry a girl of another state, start two businesses and marry a UP  woman.  I’ve searched my memory for clues in his childhood that might have predicted this, but I’ve come up empty.  I mean, he liked Haryanvi food, like churmaa,bajra roti,dahi ,chutney etc.etc.

Here is the bride and the groom.i am so proud of my son!  

On  reaching home, my son  brought my daughter-in-law, leading her by a long Red  ribbon, down to the street and into our hous.

Tagore on sun set

 “Clouds come floating into my life,

no longer to carry rain or usher storm,

but to add colour to my sunset sky.”

-Rabindranath Tagore  1861 – 1941
