The Momma of all Mommas is here this season. She is visiting with her dynamic family. She has got two sons- one with the princely looks, the other with an elephant's head; and, two daughters- one filled with wisdom, the other with wealth. For pets, her family keeps a lion, an owl, a mouse, a swan and a peacock. [The dad's story is better left untold. ]
This peculiar family could be the baseline of multiple complex relationship oriented novels and short stories. Who knows if wealth and wisdom are matters of contention between the sisters? Who knows if the pets have their own complex survival strategies when living in the same home? Who knows how a wife forgives her otherwise 'high' husband for cutting off their son's head and eventually ending up with an elephant headed son? Who knows if the otherwise handsome brother is not munching on family war ideas all the while?
Well, to cut the long story short, the Momma is multi-tasking all the while - keeping the family stories churning while slaying the poor demon and balancing the ten different weapons of destruction in her ten hands.
And that is where MOMA comes in. This blog titled Madness of Motherhood : Abridged (will tell you in a while why it is abridged) is the author's third attempt to keep a blog alive. As the title suggests, this blog will remain a record of the madness that motherhood is and that which it brings into the family. It will also encompass issues of illness that the layman terms as 'madness' since the author is herself a patient of bipolar mood disorder and manic depression and has schizophrenic potential. The issue of mental health is going to pop up continuously in the posts.
But the madness of motherhood is going to be abridged. Since moms are always short of time to record the moments that make them mom. Else Durga would have a blog too.
