Sunday is always hectic and today was no different. Apart from the usual work, I also had to teach my boys as their exams are going to start. Sometimes I really wonder why small kids should be pressured so much. They must be left to enjoy their childhood, rather than wondering if nib is nib or bib..:)
Anyway for all I thought, I did manage to make them sit for a while and study. I also had a marriage reception to attend, then decided on making the remaining two kebabs. Finally sitting with the kids took over and I ended up making the kebabs also, then keeping up my appointment.
Since Amma had a family function to attend, Dad spent the day with us. He happened to remind me and ask what plans for the next day. For the first time in my life, I actually forgot about it and almost wished Daddy didn't remind me.
It felt so strange, yet here I am writing this piece for keepers. For all I profess, I am a sucker for traditions and last-minute sentiments. Though this post was supposed to be scheduled, I am writing it ahead as the whole house is calm and everybody asleep, just me and my thoughts. It's not every day you become a year older. Hopefully, I also become wiser and sensible!
Of course, I was also reminded that I missed out on making my traditional previous night's stuffed parathas. Well for once I forgot my own day and my own traditions. I have been so busy with Kebabs on mind if I can give that as an excuse, that I completely forgot a lot of things.
Now that I am actually sitting here, seeing that within few minutes, it's going to ring in the new day, thoughts that always come to mind, flood in and I remember all those days and feel happy. I miss my brother and being in my parents' home. I am sure he will call the first thing when he wakes up and I will get my customary peek on cheeks from Amma, nothing is more precious than these. And a friend who waits up to wish me just when the clock strikes!
Well on my own part, I have this treat right here. I love paneer and nothing beats these melt in the mouth Seekh Kebabs.
