I don't really remember all the crazy notorious activities and how i learnt most things that i did when i was a kid....
How i managed to crawl off onto the pathway...
How i managed to find something to eat...
How i learnt to switch on the TV....
How i would open the fridge and sit next to it....
How i would pee in the shoes....
How i would get into the lifts...
How i spoke for the first time....
How i learned to walk....
How i walked my way to school
How i learned to say ABC...
How i learnt numbers.....
How i rode a bicycle.....
How i drove a car n bike....
How i acted in a play....
How i learnt travelling alone....
How i played cricket....
How i began learning to play the Violin...
How i began using the telephone....
How i began taking care of the fishes in the Fish tank....
How i learnt having food in the dining table....
How i learnt using the spoon....
How i had my first scoop of ice cream....
How i got into my first fight....
How i enjoyed driving sitting in my Dad's lap in the car....
and simply pretty much everything that i did for the first time in life.....
It was all simply so very well taken care of.....
Off late for some reason, mom just saw some concern in my eyes.....
Se came up to me and asked me as to what happened....
I told her, most of my friends have started working some place or the other whether they like it or not. I told her that i didn't want to rush myself into a job that i really don't wanna do. She listened to me very calmly and once i was done she casually replied
I have taken care of you for 26 long years...
ever since you were a tiny little kid.....
a few more months can never hurt me.....
You are my sweet heart is what she said... again
leaving me completely amazed.
She just displayed the true essence of how mother's love is.... I just felt so so happy to be her SON. I only had tears of gratitude and love. I wish i learn more on acceptance and love from her.
She just said always remember one thing,
"It never really matters how u start the race all that matters is how strongly you finish the race"
It is not that i am SAD or something but then i just suddenly happened to have some concern on that day as i got into a few discussions with a few friends.... and that was it..... PHEW
simple and very effective...

ReplyDeleteRecently my MOM forwarded me this message :-
ReplyDelete" Maa ki godh aur Papa k Kandhe Yaad aate hai.
Bachpan k wo lamhe yaad aate hai.
Rote hue so jana, khud se baat karte hue kho jana.
Wo Maa ki awaaz lagana aur khana apne haathon se khilana.
Wo papa ka daat lagana, aur apni zid puri karwaane k liye nakhre dikhana.
Yaad aate hai wo bachpan k din, Adhura hai har pal tumhaare bin..!! "
great picture....

ReplyDeleteGod does not have the time to shower his love, care and affection to each and every one of us and that is why he gave us a Mother who could do his job in a much better way :-)
Keep Smiling :-)

Fact remains that the relationship is always intact with your loved ones. In the last 6 years, in total I would have seen my folks for not more than a month. However, everytime i meet them their love, affection and concerns remains the same. Something that we should try and imbibe in ourselves.
ReplyDeleteNice post sharon, always remember " kafan main jeb nahin hoti" what ever you would earn, when you die you don't take anything with you except goodwill of people.
yeh maa cheez hi aise hoti h......she knows us more than ourself........cheers to all the mothers..........
