Let’s have a Social Distancing Day

The writer’s mother, Susiela Arumugam, feeding the koi in her well-tended garden.

I HAVE had several tiffs with my mother ever since the movement control order (MCO) was implemented on March 18.

She has been living with me since 2002. So, a fact that I have had to accept since she moved in with me and my husband was that when it came to the kitchen and garden, we must be prepared to take a back seat.
