MY VISIT TO INDIA

MOTHERS

Today is MAY 30th.Its been more than one month since my birthday but I did not bother to open my I PHONE .But I am more involved  in my trip to INDIA,to make it pleasant in everyway possible.Though I am on my trip I have to continue school in INDIA and so I chose TAMIL NADU because we three knew tamil .We will be  living  in CHENNAI and continue our schooling in  HAC INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS.But I have two big problem ,

1)To get my friends ready.We were all in my bed room,

AKSHAYA: Guys I have a problem.

ME:what is it AK?

AKSHAYA: Look  at my wardrobe .I only have  modern cloths .What am I going to do with it in INDIA.There is no time to go for shoping  and how will I wear saree.

SHRIYA: Who  told INDIANS only were saree?INDIA is a developing country and all people are as modern as we are.So don't worry mean girl 1  you can were all your modern cloths.

AKSHAYA :Thank you for your information mean girl 2.

ME: Girls can you stop ?What am I going to do with you both in INDIA and so sad of aunt  AMY.

AKSHAYA :Aunt AMY RIVERS is coming with us?

ME: What did you expect AK?You thought my mom will just leave my to travel to another country with two crack pots without any supervision.

SHRIYA: I knew it.But thankyou for choosing aunt AMY La(lakshmi).She gives us lots of freedom and privacy.

AKSHAYA: What school are we going to La ?And why did you choose Chennai ?I heard MUMBAI is modern then Chennai.

ME:Of all the places in INDIA Chennai is more safer for girls. And we will be studying in HAC INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS.

AKSHAYA :  No problem let us meet 'Tamil pasanga' first.I heard tamil boys are really cute.

SHRIYA: Shut up Ak.We have a job to do in INDIA.

ME:Guys our flight is at 9:30 AM and we will have to meet our friends and Mr WILLIAM before leaving.

AK:Why do we have to meet our high school principal?

'Because he is  our high school principal,'Shriya and I said in unison.

I do not know what the girls were thinking about the trip but I am really happy that they both are with me.

The next biggest problem is that I had to face was my MOTHER .Myself and appu(father) had to try very hard to get my mom BHAVANI'S  approval.But only I can console her.That night I went to my mom's room and sat beside her.I was very sure that she was unhappy in me leaving Australia.Of course, which mother would happily say good bye to her daughter who is going to go to another country and leave her loving ,sweet mother for one year.Talking in phone and skype will not be as same as sitting beside her and talking to her.I knew she was controlling her tears but she could no more do that.She started crying.

" 'ayyo amma' stop crying.Just one year mom. I will be back soon.And every three months I will come to see you , OK ?" ,I said .'

"How can you be without me for one full year  chellam?",she asked.I knew she would ask this question, but every time I think about it I was never able to get an answer.'I don't know mom but I will manage'   I finally replied."What will you manage ?Do you even know to braid your hair?"she asked."I will learn mom.Ma you have to understand me.I really have to do this mom.I have to do this because I have to know about INDIA.MY INDIA.Do you remember mom, you always use to tell me that there is no country in the world like INDIA.You know it because you felt it.You lived there ,so you was able to feel INDIA'S love and care.Now its time for your daughter to feel mom.I have to go to my mother land and feel her warmth.And I have to do it alone because I want my own new experiences and feelings.I did not want to share anyone else's feelings.Leave your bird to fly mom ,Let it explore the world"

"Nalla pasu ",she replied in TAMIL.But I could see that she was partially convinced and that was enough for me today."I want to sleep in your lap mom ",I said.She did not reply but just nodded her head.I laid my head on her lap and closed my eyes.

The truth that I knew but did not want to admit was that, I am terribly going to miss my sweet, loving and caring mother.But I have to leave all this to reach my goal.To go to INDIA and rejoice her.Tomorrow by this time I  will be flying to INDIA.
