Mother's Day: And much beyond..!

I don't really have to talk about mothers. We all are here all because of them.. I remember those old middle school days when would write about our mothers. With all the things from daily chores like washing our clothes, washing our utensils, cooking food for us, to making our favorite break snack; we would think these were the reasons we should be always grateful to our mothers.. But then when there came maids in houses or mother working went working; we realized, no! she's great for reasons much beyond..

For the lessons of walking, for scolding us when we did wrong, for caring and loving unconditionally-everything.. For everything that she did, all those little things she did everyday; we owe her so much beyond our  capacity to give her back..

 I, myself have scaled some serious things in life in months, that people usually took years to scale; because of the strong determination and belief she always inculcated in me. When I saw her bravely tackling things. I felt proud of my mother who not only managed the domestic work(of course with a  little domestic help!), managed her work pressures and also contributed to the society and it's well being in her small little way.. Over the years I've seen relatives and friends commenting over her social involvement and calling it 'useless'; but still she has kept herself strong enough and continued it with increasing intensity.. (Here, I would also mention that baba has a share here.. because he has always stood besides her against the odds)

I remember the day when she broke down when there was irregularity found in my EEG report! She appeared strong enough, but had broken. After all, she's a mother.. But then, the way she responded the second minute with all the perfect planning and determination, my half irregularity disappeared with the kind of confidence she had! Those positive vibes maybe have just gone through my blood well enough to take everything positively and give a damn to the life! People usually feel I was brave enough to have recovered so well and fought with the odds.. No friends, it was this very person who made me like that! *Salute*

The best part is, she probably knows all little changes which take place in me. She warns me well before I express anything.. She notices me at the right time when I am smiling to myself.. She teases me like friends do. I make sure I don't confess anything, maybe because she knows almost everything. There is always a fake environment I create, where she resides happily, though we both usually know what's the real thing.. 

Tomorrow is mother's day. I have planned absolutely nothing for her. And I am not going to plan too! Not because I don't feel like, but because those lifeless things have no comparison with what my 'aaii' has done for me.. I can only love her back... That is the only thing I can do.. And I think she doesn't need more.. She has been loving me unconditionally!

We don't usually say this to each other but the little gestures say it.. Today, on the larger platform I want to say it.. 

"I love you aaii"..

With due respect for all the mothers, I take your leave.

Happy mother's day! <3 <3 <3

Toodles..
