Amma's beautiful logic
Amma was asking K if she has finished making dosa. It was ten in the morning. I asked amma, you have shifted to taking rice meals at 10 in the morning.Then why are you asking about dosa. She said that it is not for her, but for the crow. Crow? why dosa for the crow.She gave a logic which blew my mind away.
She said her food is ready. It is actually carry over food from yesterday. She has asked K to heat it up. But for the crow she cannot give old food. So she is asking that fresh dosa be made. I wanted to slide in a snide remark. Oh, so fresh dosa for the crow.So what is the side dish? She said ghee. Even when she gives fresh rice, the crow will not touch it without ghee. So dosa with ghee, she said.
I persued trying to find some gap in her logic. I said you used to have breakfast in the morning and lunch at one in the afternoon, till recently. Does your crow now come for food at ten? She said my crow is quite adjusting. It was happy for one pm meal and now has shifted to ten am meal!. She had such a beautiful expression on her face as if talking about an indulgent child.
She is unique! I just gave up. But very very happy that I am privileged to be her daughter.
