Sweet memories

Just a quick note to cherish this memory forever

I am working from home today with a sore throat and cold. Mom got some smoldering coal and empty coconut shells in a vessel (called Kumti aduppu in Tamil - not sure if it has a name in English!) and made me inhale some turmeric-coffee powder-ajwain preparation and I felt such instant relief!

Then she went on to put some 'sambrani powder' and took it around and now the entire house is so fragrant.

There are times I get mad at my parents... but I hope I will also remember these sweet little things that they do.. without any kind of expectation...
