Mother

  I couldn't come out with an innovative title for this because this one word itself encompasses so many great things! Mom,Mummy,Amma,Aai,Ammi.... whatever we call her, we all know how special she is to our lives.I don't remember a single day of my childhood when I didn't come home and tell mom what happened in school.Not that I don't discuss it with her now.There has always been this excitement of knowing her views on whatever I say.If I hide from her something embarrassing with respect to me, then it creates a lot of trouble because then that fact haunts me throughout.Ultimately I have to give in and tell her the incident how much ever embarrassed I feel later!

     My mom was a working woman before and it must have been a tough decision for her to give up her job just to look after me.She chose her child and this is something I admire in all mothers,they will always put their child's needs before their own and there is no discrimination in this case. It is said that dads favor their daughters and moms their sons but I have never experienced anything of that kind.Though I agree that since dad gives in to my demands easily and mom is kind of strict I prefer asking something to dad rather than mom,but I guess that's how mothers are supposed to be so that they can give their child a better and disciplined life.The day I got less marks in CET and I was crying throughout the night,my mom hugged me and said "You will achieve whatever you want,don't worry".Those words were miraculous I must say,they just brought in the confidence I had lost!

     Today whatever good I am,I largely owe it to my mother.I don't know how we tend to think of our mothers only on their birthdays or Mothers day when the only thing they think about throughout their lives are their children.My mom likes it when I praise her food(and I do that once in a while) but then I have to be careful while doing so because once I do that,then I must be ready to eat that food every alternate day,that's my mom!I hope someday she reads this and knows how much she really means to me.Anxiously waiting for the day when she proudly says,"That's my daughter!"(Right now she is yelling at me for not cleaning my cupboard mess :p) Love you mom!
