When I got up and realized today I Mother's Day... the first thought that came into my mind is 'what is a need to celebrate only on Mother's day??? Our mom has been living for us since we have born in her womb… then why there is any special day to celebrate her importance??? Each and every day of our life is incomplete without her…’, then I have remembered some of the unforgettable memories that I have edited from my mind...
I remember was some 14 years old at that time… for the first time, I was learning to drive a two wheeler… as usual, mein toh pehle paanch minute mein hi girgayi aur I realize two wheeler landing on me… God, I was worried for two reasons, in fact more than my injury, I was tensed what would my mom say… I went inside my house, and after a lot of suspense, revealed my mom about my stunt… she got panic, cleaned my wound along with her anger on me for not informing her prior about me learning a two wheeler, took me to the doctor, and yes, she took a lot of care of me… after a month, I was shocked when my mom got a two wheeler of her friend, asked me to drive, she actually made me learn driving by guiding me…
Eight years after this incident I remember, I was tensed and worried again this time, I was almost shivering… I am in love with my colleague who also is from Media and we both want to take our relationship to the next level… we want to get married… my parents on the other hand are searching for some N.R.I for me… I want to actually tell my mom that I am in love with a guy and firm getting married to him… could not able tell this to my parents… after all she is my mom, she could within no time find out what is there in my heart, through my behavior and one day asked me to take this guy home as she wants to meet him before taking any decision… after meeting Dev (my Man) and indulging in a crisp chat with him, mom was okay with my decision… but my dad wanted me to get married to a Software Professional, who earns in some Dollors… but, mom took over, convinced my father and the other close relatives, stood by my decision and has been my support system…
Recently, I had a heated argument with Dev and me being a short tempered person, left the house immediately, went to my parents house… mom is a genius… she found out the situation without me and Dev not even telling a word… for three days I suppose she stood away from the issue and the fourth day, I get a call from my mom, asking me to come down to a coffee shop near my office… I was surprised but not in a mood to guess why my mom is doing this… and I see Dev along with my mom at the Coffee shop… after a cup of Coffee, my mom heard the issue from Dev and my end… she counseled both of us… it was more or less appeared as a matured friend of mine… me and Dev were out for a holiday together as all the issues were sort out…
Today, I see my Mom being my teacher, guide, friend, counselor and even a sweet enemy, of course a critic… it is not just on a Mother’s day, in fact every day, I dedicate to my Mom… so this experience of mine, that I have shared with you…
