hiya
im back after a long break..... currently enjoying the mango season....summer vacation at moms n then at mom in laws....new things have happened since my last post...Arav now speaks in sentences....yes sentences with 3 or more words....that's few more than the husband who still answers mostly in yes or no unless its a life threatening situation :).... so far Aravs talking is music to my ears....wonder how long that will last
but this post as the title suggests is about motherhood....which is a constant frame of mind...and also brought forward by the recent Happy mothers day event....on which day i did nothing more than wishing my mom followed by demanding breakfast as i was lounging on her couch....and sending a text message to mom in law...not an ideal daughter in anyway i know.....but im literally being smothered by maternal love and it has got me wondering.... wondering how amazingly it works...the current miss india (no idea what her name is) was asked what does a mother learn from her child? she answered unconditional love....i dont know if it was a textbook answer like world peace but it did strike all the right chords....
yes parents love is unconditional but mothers love even so...i dont know if its by default or by design.....but it is Gods most amazing creation.....the two mothers in my life one by birth and one by marriage are glorifying examples of this love....2 different personalities 2 different parenting style but one common thing : unconditional love....the one by birth or the old mum (for lack of better term) is a practical fierce independent level headed lady....no babying anyone no pampering....let the kids rough it out on their own philosophy....but caring n always there...one with whom i can share almost anything....i wonder how she didnt kick me out of the house when i was an obnoxious teenager ... back answering rebelling and utterly selfish....only after Arav have i come close to understanding what mom must have gone through....and hes only 2 yet
the new mom is emotional extremely generous kind and giving....the quintessential aloo ka paratha gajar ka halwa kind of bollywood mom....who expects nothing in return and loves me more than her sons maybe....i sometimes wonder how i lucked out....an astrologer friend once said that my kundali is such that all godesses have showered their blessings on me....meaning the women in my life will always take care of me....how true
but one thing i have realised is that its so easy to take them for granted...its so easy to be ungrateful....its a love that u dont have to win that u dont have to work hard for....it is given....and so its hard to care much for....but i think we need to make a conscious effort to appreciate this amazing gift....this biological glitch....Mothers love...Mums need to be appreciated , revered, worshiped , thanked.....in small and big ways everyday
to all the super moms i know.... a very happy mothers day :)
