On Mother's Day

Did you read my Friday's (05/08) post yet? It had to be my post for this weekend..but, here I'am!

It's funny - I started blogging just for fun and now it is an extension of me. It is a place I turn to when I need to pour my heart out...

So, maybe you did after all expect me to write here on Mother's Day..or maybe not. It is like I said a place for me to hear my own thoughts, and when I read my older previous posts, I re-live those moments - I can exactly feel my own emotions coming back as I wrote those words. They always come straight from my heart - so there is nothing in between!

Before you read on, I want you to listen to this wonderful song:

It is a song sung by a Dyslexic child when his mother leaves him in a hostel to set him straight and to discipline him in the movie "Taare Zameen Par".

I cry every time I listen to this song - it captures a very raw emotion - a something you would do when you are in extreme agony - how you would reach out to your mother...

I believe that there is a child in all of us - a child that comes out in the most un-guarded moments. Those of extreme joy and extreme pain...I, as a person have always have cried for my mother in moments where I though I would break down with the pain.

The weird part is that I can never really show those emotions to her in person - I turn into this very strong person who cannot shed tears. Maybe I don't want to hurt her by my tears? I don't know. That's me.

I sometimes really wonder if every form of love in this world somehow in a vague way, at a very very primary level boils down to being a motherly form of love?

Love of any form consists elements of nurturing (physical, emotional etc.), taking care, being worried, being happy for the other person(s) in that context, and whatever other acts there maybe.

The gender may not even come into play here - at a very very lower level maybe that's what it is....I don't know. It is a weird concept, but, I do wonder about this idea quiet often.

It is on this occasion that I want to say kudos to all those wonderful moms who relentlessly shower their love on their children - in whatever way they can.

A someone who never, ever wishes her child any harm ever. Always is so proud and happy to see her child happy - a someone who would swallow her pain, who will bear anything that you throw her way - insults, harsh words, separation, and whatever else that may have or continues to tear her apart...

For once, tell her that you care for her too...that's all she lives to hear from you...

She waits for you to smile, to tell her that you are happy. That's all that matters!

Always know that she wants you to go conquer the world, succeed like there is no tomorrow. Paint the world's canvas in a million colors - colors of your success! She wants to know that you did it! That's when her eyes will fill up with tears again...but, this time they will be tears of joy...for you...her baby ...always!!!
