Shefali Shah with her mother Shobha Shetty: ‘My Dear darling most precious Mom, Mostly nothing I must’ve said or done would’ve been right. I remember we invariably got into a fight. Mostly, I wanted to be left alone, And I was audacious enough to ignore your phone.
‘I thought I had better things to do rather than spending time with you. I must’ve rolled my eyes when you preached, running far out of your reach.
‘I didn’t get where your worrying came from while you were just being my mom. All the times I said, ‘Just let me be’ all you were doing was being worried for me.
‘Whenever you reminded me to sleep or eat, I snapped at you in a beat. And now, when you’re riper, adjusting to occasional calls or visits, I miss your nagging. Now that you choose not to cook, I want you to force-feed me.
‘Now when I come and I see you have slept, I want you to ask where I went. Now when I call and you don’t take my call, I wish it was the other way around.
‘Now that it’s my turn to care, I’m angry ‘coz for me you can’t be there. Yes, I’m selfish, that’s where I’m coming from. While even now, all you are doing is being my mom. Yours forever, Shefu.’
