Mother's Day !!!!!

Dear Readers,

Mother’s day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May month all over the world.

I am not a philosopher to describe this relationship, I am not a painter to express the feelings through the paints on canvas, neither am I a poet to write on this beautiful relationship…. I am a daughter and also a mother and I can only say that for me every day is mother’s day. My mother lives in India and I can’t do much for her but I am always thinking about her well being. This is one of the purest relationship on the planet and a mother’s love is always unconditional …

On this special day I am sharing my mother’s 10 most favorite delicacies..

Happy Mother's Day,
Shuchi
