Belated Happy Mother's Day!

I can't believe it was snowing yesterday! Snow in May is just weird. I was in denial about the weather and stepped out in my flip flops and a light shawl. It was freeeeezing. Thank goodness I didn't have to be out there for too long.

For Mother's Day my family and I attended a 3-hour katha (basically a form of religious story-telling) at a local temple. Then the temple committe members took an extra hour to explain how the temple was running out of money, and donations were urgently required. Once that was over the mandhir became a huge socialising event. An aunty coyly inquired on my marital status with one of my relatives. I think she heard about my Indian escapade and wondered if I came back taken or still single.

She asked about my age, work situation, who my parents were, etc. And then she blurted out the obvious, that she had a guy in mind for me. All this to say that the brilliant, hard-to-miss match-making skills that I noted desis have back in India, are still alive and thriving quite well in North America.

A belated HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the wonderful, hard-working and generous mums out there!
