Thanksgiving, not that I have celebrated this as a child despite being a part of the convent school. My son who is seven is at home today, his school has two days holidays for thanksgiving.
They were having a thanksgiving party in school and I had signed up for Hashbrowns. Parents were welcome to join the party via google meet. So I decided to join in and for thirty minutes or so I traveled back in time to junior school days when we would said " Good Morning Mam" in a sing song voice, which mostly ran like " Goooooood Moooorning Maaaaam"
One of the teachers came over and read a book. Quite charming, followed by a live demo by one of the parents on a craft, demonstrated online. They used paper plates to make turkey, I did not see Aryans turkey when he brought it home, it was missing everything.
The only thing that surprised me in the story telling that you should not be eating a turkey for Thanksgiving. My pride of not knowing the holiday kind of stopped me from asking why because for long restaurants have been marketing Thanksgiving offers with Turkey roasts.
There was one time when I had accompanied a friend in Bangalore to hunt down places where they sold turkey. Infact, my friend was almost about to buy one but I guess somebody stopped her from buying it. She was a Christian and perhaps would done a good roast out of it, I would have messed it up, may be cooked Turkey Curry?
Uggg, as is turkey meat is so dry and the Curry would have tasted like crocodile meat.
So this thanksgiving I am thankful for a few key things.
My friends and family who stood by me in the last one month. People who listened in to my frustration and impatience, at the end of the day all people want is to be heard, to matter, to make a difference.
I am thankful for life, every normal boring day which I can spend with my family. Boring is actually good, trust me you do not want a happening life!
