Not many days since I spoke to my mom. She asked me an unexpected “how are you looking?” question. I knew it was a direct question. She did not mean the state of my being. I said, ‘mom, why do you ask that? I have not changed. I look the same. After all it’s just a year since you saw me and I could not have changed much’. And she said, “I always see you skinny - thin and lean.” I think every mother has a perfect picture of her child – whatever and whoever you are. It would be absolutely impossible for her to give up on you. Whatever be the picture, she has a picture of you and she would not let it go and no one can take that away from her.
