told to me by molu
‘Mama, say Waffles, not Vaffles.. and say Marshmellows..not mashmellows..that is mashed potatoes..ok, I get it..you are very Indian mama. Nobody taught you sounding out the letters correctly.. yeah you told me that”
observed by molu
Sitting in a soccer pratice viewing gallery, molu whispered in my ears ” that lady is Indian”. “how do you know?” asked me. ” 2 things, she has brown skin like us and she is wearing indian ear rings”
overheard
in the elevator this evening. 2 ladies got in when it stopped at 3rd floor- different office.
” was wondering where Rachel has gone?. I could not believe”
” She should the last person to gte a stroke. she always eat good healthy things and work out”
“yeah, it does not matter what you do. better go eat some french fries today, what difference it makes?”
“nothing it seems”
Door opened at the parking level, they went their ways. I went and worked out for an hour, hoping that it will make some difference. And did not eat french fries..

Can picture you and molu having that conversation. Made me smile because we have similar conversations at home. In fact, so much so that I ask him for guidance.
Sure, eat healthy and exercise make a difference. May be they make us more resilient when we do get sick, or may be they postpone the sickness.
