I think it’s the distance. Trust me, if Ma comes to Sweden I will have to accompany her as buffer 🙂 or maybe that’s just my excuse for an essential trip to sweden!
This is so great!! The drawing where you are cooking is so simple yet talks so much about the ‘missing’ bit.
I’m not sure how enjoyable learning ‘interaction design’ is (barring being at sweden), but this is where your true calling is.
this brings back a sense of deja-vu…MY GOD!! I had a similar Love-Hate relationship with my Ma …the number of times i have thrown the phone around …the number of letters from MA i have torn coz of “Gyan”…but I guess now…yes, all this time I was trying not be MY MA…alas! …the genes are definitely creeping on to me…(esp the cooking is help bond us)!!!

Distance teaches you lesson which you cannot learn when yr around yr loved ones. But then Mumbai..Delhi…. didn’t do this to U which Sweden has, or is it just the AGE :D! I think its just that you got too much time in hand to introspect….especially u being alone in foreign land.
