Mom's Best Friend


I met Mom's childhood best friend. Mausi. She is Mom's Dad's brother's daughter. So Mom's cousin. Coincidentally she also has five daughters. She came to Mamu's house the first night we were there. Very nice lady. Her daughters were even nicer. The eldest 22, the youngest, 13 [Rina, Rinky, Sandhya (Mickey), Nisha (Madhuri), and Neva]. I sat and talked to the daighters for a long time. We talked about Hindi movies, school, college, America, food, weddings, etc.

Mausi met Pinki, Sandhya, and Anita when Mom came back to India back in the late 7-'s...before the remainder 4 of us were born. She had some funny stories about how Sandh would eat so many raisins, her excrements looked like raisins and Sandh would cry because of it! LOL! She also told me how she would put Anita to sleep by rubbing thel (oil)on her back. She said Dad didnt like too much thel on the kids because it smelled bad. And finally she talked about how she used to harrass Dad about anything and everything.
