I poured a glass of cold Juice and offered it to my Son.
His immediate reaction was “Oh Maa, I am about to ask you for this but how did
u know that I wanted this?” I smiled with the pride on my face and replied
that’s because “Maa can even hear you thinking” He was surprised that how I can read his mind but next moment he hugs me
saying “I love you Maa” and emptied the glass of juice.
A Mother who spends a lot of
time with her kids handling their tantrums with patience, helping them to
understand things in a proper way, teaching them good habits, playing with
them, watching movie together, getting the home work done, taking them to the garden,
resolving their BIG problems. It may look small for us but for them its a big thing when the remote control car does not work, sharpening
the pencil ten times or to locate their belongings…so
on and so forth. But at time Mommy gets tired, she gets angry, she loses the
patience level, she becomes strict and stubborn at times, she becomes a little stubborn, she forcefully
makes him follow her order. Off course no kids will like their sweet soft mommy
becoming Hitler all of a sudden. My 5 year old comes to me in such situations
and confirms if my mood is good or bad and he would also quote that “Aap aise acche nahi
lagate ho mujhe”. This brings a quick smile on my face because he posses the power
to change my mood. But I also understand the need to become strict and stubborn
when it’s needed. Every time the
situation can’t be controlled with sweet talks, you have to act like that. I now
understood it’s not an easy task to raise your kids. They are so delicate to
handle and we need to handle them with tender. They are flexible to mold and it depends how we
shape them.
Later that afternoon, I kept on thinking how truly a
mother can read your mind. She exactly understands you more than yourself. I
recall my mother, my Aai, my ultimate best friend since childhood. A lady
having great patience, very down to earth and she takes the responsibility of
the family so well that sometimes I feel that she is born to understand each one
of us yet she never complaints. I recall how she used to teach us those small
things which now become my assets, those valuable lessons which help me to lead
a successful life, those ethics which helps me to play my role well as a Wife,
as a Mother, as a daughter in law.
Today I thank her from bottom of my heart for
“Everything”. To make me what I am today, to motivate me that I can do
anything, to call me her supporting pillar in her low times, to share her experience
of life with me. For those dreams I share
with her and she had always boost me with positive approach to work hard to
achieve them.
I don’t know if I would ever become as Awesome Mother as she
is but I am so proud that I am her daughter. So I would keep trying…keep teaching
my Son what I have learn from her and I am also open to learn from my 5 year old. At
times those innocent eyes really show you the other side of coin which your
matured eyes could not see.
So to conclude respect your mother’s feelings because you owe
her a lot, owe her for those 9 moths she carried your weight, owe her for her
sleepless nights, owe her for nursing you when u fell sick, owe her for the
tears she sheds for you, owe her for making you what you are today, owe her for
her efforts to raise you and made you a successful person, owe her for unending
supply of love and care, owe her because she doesn’t ask anything in returns but
she only believes in giving. Owe her because she is an Angle of your life.
I thank God for making me a Mother to fill my Son’s life
with love, adoration and care and enjoy the motherhood. I am trying to be his
Angle to grants his wishes now and forever.

WITH A MANUAL, IT COMES WITH A MOTHER”
