Happy Birthday, Mamma

It's my Mommy's birthday today. It's the first I've spent away from her -- I was able to make it home just in time for her birthday last year. So yes, the homesickness and the Mommysickness (?) is at an all-time high today, and I have a feeling it's only going to get worse over the next week. A week which ends with Daddy's birthday. Yes, of course, there will be a Happy Birthday, Daddy post too. But after the partying. (His birthday is on December 31st!)

In order to stave off the misery, I decided to celebrate. Celebrate my Mommy growing old (I teased her all day about how she was one step closer to a mid-life crisis), celebrate Mommy-ness, and Mommies in general. And as all celebrations, this too, was done with music.

Warning: Much sappiness and crying follows. Oddly, I couldn't find many happy-mommy songs.

1. My first Mommy song - I wonder how many of you remember this.



2. Any Mommy-song list is incomplete without this one :)



3. And for those of you who understand Punjabi.
