And she obviously has so many stories she can tell about the "old" days (I say with a laugh, since your mom is only two years older than me!).

I love the line Old is Gold and new becomes Old One Fine Day.I was hooked by the post and like the bit about memories which makes it difficult for us to get out of it since it can be painful. Time flies like anything. Ma'am you should start your blog and narrate life from your perspective. If one post made us sit through, your blog will be an instant hit. Now, I know where Afshan inherited her unique and talented writing skills from:)Vishal Bheeroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229153100959064360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-57774901494419627282014-04-18T08:39:43.301+05:302014-04-18T08:39:43.301+05:30I can't imagine the novelty of sleeping under ...I can't imagine the novelty of sleeping under the stars every night and not having to fight off mosquitoes.

It is, in part, your amazing mother! I love reading about her life. I am older than she is ... 62. But she is so creative and such a delightful person, just like you! I would love to read more writing from your mother,<br />Haseena Banu, Iron Woman, when she decides to start a blog ... and also read your blog too! jean xox!!!

Things and times change, as she mentioned so accurately. The youths are not as fit as they should be, and the mosquitos are declaring war on us with their bites. I enjoyed reading this post and agree that your mom should also have a blog. Thanks for stopping by me earlier.
