While chopping ginger for my black tea this morning I also chopped off a bit of my nail. The wedding magazines would have me off any kitchen work or house work when my wedding’s just 10 days away, but what’s a girl to do if she wants ginger tea.
As I stood there looking at the stub of my nail, wondering if it would grow back in time for the wedding, I remembered my grandmother. In her time, a prospective mother in law would inspect the girl’s hands for kitchen cuts. Immaculate hands in a prospective bride would give away her inexperience in the kitchen.
Biji, my grandmother - the wonderful, generous, matriarch! So much of who I am is because of her. What would I be without her? She was my primary care giver as I was growing up. While her hands (which had accumulated decades of kitchen cuts) fed me bite-fuls of her delectable cooking, her stories were the food that nourished my hungry soul. When my life seems foggy her shining example serves as the lighthouse guiding me home. Her purity and lightness of being defy her age. Her lofty ideals transport me straight to Satyug. She is truly sat-sang. At the Mata’s Kirtan she sang bhajans and wedding songs to her heart’s content because her age and frailty won’t allow her to travel to Mumbai to participate in the wedding. I can’t believe she will miss the ceremony. I wonder if it will be the same without her.
