Why is Mother's Day so special?

The conversation between my six year old and me led to this post. In her sweet, simple way little Biryani expressed the real fact of what makes this day so special for us mothers.

Ma: Achha Biryani tell me what is so special about Mother's Day?

Biryani: Because it gave her (the mother) the child. 

Ma: So what?

Biryani: Because that's what made her ( the mother) the happiest person on Earth naa! 

Indeed, holding you in my shaky arms for the first time, touching you to see if you are for real were moments beyond words or adjectives could describe. Since then life has been tough... There have been times when I lost my cool, I screamt,i cried because motherhood doesn't come with prior experience and certification; it's to be felt and gradually experienced. I have had my moments of complete break down but it was you who brought back the power and strength in me.

 I know how much I wanted to be a mother in spite of those miscarriages that tormented both my body and soul. You didn't come into my life easily but you made every moment worth since your birth. 

I know I am not perfect mother and I don't strive to be one.I am a mother who is more humane and normal. I don't want to show you that life is perfect or your Ma is perfect. Through my imperfections I want you to learn the real facts of life, of dealing with your demons and crisis. You have given me the most happiest moments of my life Biryani... Thank you for choosing me as your mother ❤️

It is time to Heal

A moment ago I was almost in tears because of the heel pain that's bothering me for a while now. The miniscule task of dropping Biryani to the bus stop seems impossible due to the pain.  As we were walking down the road to drop Biryani she asked if we can go for a mother daughter walk in the evening. I replied with a no because I can barely walk. The helplessness of a mother of not being physically able to do the minimum for the child is indeed agonizing. 

The excruciating pain is intolerable. As i recline on my bed, in pain and agony after dropping the little one to school, i kind of break down.It's the helplessness that takes a toll more than the pain. Just then I look up the ceiling and find these magical hues on the ceiling. The little bit of light rays that could make way through the curtain has created a miraculous mix of colours to give a new meaning to the ceiling. The room looks enthralling by this vibrant sport of light and darkness. 

For me it is an experience of watching Aurora borealis in my room on a scorching April noon.  The picture clicked doesn't do justice to the beauty I experienced. 

The message i perceived from the phenomenon is, no matter how dark it is... Light will make it's way. It was a kind of note sent by the universe. Yes,i know It's science, but isn't that's the magic of science! It's metaphorically amazing at times. Teaching us life lessons in the simplest way. 

So! My dear Heel... It's time to Heal 😁
