On Mother's Day..


So today (Mother's Day) was the day when social media timelines turned into battlefields for the competition 'Kiski Maa sabse mahan'.. I saw innumerable posts both on WhatsApp and FB with people professing their love for their respective mothers.. (Yawn!)

Firstly, we all know you love your mothers.. As do I.. So instead of spamming my timeline, you could've just called your mom and wished her a happy Mother's Day considering she may not even be following/be active on social media and so she may have missed your profession of 'love' on a medium that's still alien to her..
Secondly, if you're not going to follow the ideals your mother raised you with then your sharing Mother's day posts has no relevance at all..

Well, it goes without saying that my mom is my best friend.. There is no one who is as appreciative or as supportive as she is of me and my abilities.. And while I don't remember having grown up with any profession of love (saying 'I love you') or any display of affection in the form of hugs and kisses, I had no doubt in my mind whatsoever that my mom loved me unconditionally.. Like there are many ways to say 'I love you' (if only we listened!).. Like 'Be careful when you take the bus'.. Or 'I've made your favorite dish'.. My mom has been the sole reason for where I stand today.. She has made many sacrifices to raise me up and ensure I've had the best of lifestyle and education.. And there are not enough 'Mother's days' for me to thank her for all that she has done for me.. I'm grateful for all that she has done for me.. And I hope that some day she is proud of me and my achievements.. Today I'm also thankful for the gift of my daughter who made me a 'mother'.. Mothers all over will agree when I say that there is no relationship as beautiful as the one shared between a mother and her child.. Once a mother, always a mother.. So here's wishing mothers all over a Happy mothers day.. May u continue to love, nurture and support your children and mould them into wonderful human beings..

Paraphrasing a forward I read today on 'Mother's day'..
Thinking of you:
-->Mothers who have lost children
--> Those who have lost mothers
--> Those with strained mother relationships
--> Mothers with strained child relationships
--> Those who have chosen not to be mothers
--> Those yearning to be mothers

Remembering you all today and wishing you all a happy Mothers day..

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
