There are many...
1. My mom was cooking something on stove and she had really long hair...it used to reach below her knee and I used to sit and play with her hair while she stood and cooked. I must have been around 4.
2. I was refusing to eat cream and my mom wanted me to eat some so she lit some incense sticks and added some sugar on my cream...back then we didn't have essences and stuff like that I suppose. I ate it. I still like incense sticks because they remind me of her.
3. My dad beat me, and this lady picked me up and to console me she showed me some magic with her three fingers. Love you mom.
4. I sat on her lap and she told me she will repair my ring and get a stone replaced in that and gently pulled it out..that was the last I ever saw her. A couple of years ago, while cleaning the house I saw her purse and the ring was there...I had never correlated it to be her ..I thought some other lady had taken it from me. Again around 5.
5. Climbing mango tree and stealing a few ..only to be caught and asked to climb right back and fix them up on tree with cello tape..nuns can be smart..they wont let you eat that mango they wont let the tree get it back either.
6. Gardener Ujagar carrying me on his shoulder to a big canteen and there everybody pampering me...and me getting my first taste of tea. That is why it is hard for me to believe that crimes are proliferating in lower class.
7. Me sleeping with songs that Lata Mangeshkar sang...so that I don't get to hear sounds outside. I was 7 or so, and dad used to go on night shifts.
I can't help remembering the ones with my mom because I have ruminated over them umpteen number of times. Those are the only few I have of her. :)
So thanks for reading. :) Please share yours..

@paigea ..I don't want to call them that. :) You see...it is the feeling that she cared. Nowadays when I look at children being scolded when they are younger, I feel glad I do not have a single memory of her scolding me. So it is sort of feeling of love that covers me when I think of her. :) How can I then call it sad? :)

Wont get into the sad parts for now. It is going to be 2:00 am here. So let me focus only on ice cream that you were refusing to have
. Why on earth were you refusing to have that ice cream?
After all it was ice cream!!! Or did you want a special flavor?

@vandana7 Ah I misread that. Cream is something that no one gave me ever. Even the cakes I got during my early years were without cream. Later when I had it on pastries, I asked mom about those blank cakes. I had some sort of allergy was the reply. Maybe that is one more reason why I am skinny living skeleton

What wonderful memories. I remember growing up in rural Missouri and I enjoyed it very much.

They are some lovely memories you have there and no one can take them away from you. Sad they may be but you have something to hold on to with fondness.
