Mothers Day

MY STORY: For you all to learn without experiencing!

So are WE all done?

Posting beautiful pictures with more beautiful Mothers and the most beautiful moments spent with Her.

On this day, Probably at the end of this day, I want to share a story!

It's Diwali time, I go to spend some quality time (4 days to be precise) with my family at Bhilai, my husband and son accompany me on the trip.

We reach, exchange hugs, talk, we giggle. My son being the youngest in the clan gets the limelight for all good and bad reasons.

The night we reached, Maa says to me  "Aap Hamare paas so jao na" I abruptly say Nai Maa what will my husband think we are here for holidays and he is all by himself and also my child needs to sleep with me, what if he wakes up in the night and cry for me.

She just says ok.

Somewhere in my mind, I feel guilty for telling NO to her. I knew it was not about just the sleep, it was about night-long #Mother - #Daughter heart to Heart talks, about the, hand-hold while slipping into slumber, about her fingers caressing my hairs, about her humming the shlokas into my ears before I am asleep.

So, I go to her, kiss her forehead and come back to my room, lying down only to think about my childhood and how my priorities have changed over the years.

Vacation Over. Back to Busy Mumbai, back to work, home, family and errands I am a super busy woman again. Struggling to take out time to call my mother each day.

The next time I visit her, She is in hospital, laying on a single bed in ICCU on ventilation in deep sedation. Now even if want with all my heart, I can't sleep beside her. I watch her from distance and remember her words "Aap Hamare paas so jao na"

5 days down the line, She closes her eyes forever. She is gone.

Those words still haunt me, scare me, kill me somewhere deep inside.

My dear friends, Parents are not around forever,  no one is here for eternity. I Request,  Please Spend time with them, talk to them, listen to them, shop with them, walk with them, I know you love them, show your love to them, tell them they are special, Express to them, reach out to them, Make them know that they are special not only on #FatherDay or #MotherDay

but every #Otherday.

"MAA"

Bhul Jaye Jo log Keh kar, Main nahi koi baat hu
Yaad Rah jaye na bhi Chah kar, Me to teri hi kahi baat hu

Mujko milta hai Sukun, Jo mene kahi tujse har baat hai
Tu kyu Mujko Door hai Samjhati, Jo me na dikhu; ye bhi koi baat hai

Jab chahe Milale Peri Pari, Main to tere hi do haath hu
Main to tere sath hu..Main to Tere Pass hu

Jo mujme tha, Wo tujme hai, Tu mujsi hi hai bas yahi ek baat hai
Mujko milta hai Sukun, Jo mene kahi tujse har baat hai

At times you don't have to really go through a phase or moment but can learn from other's experience and know what's right or wrong.
