Women's Day
Two days back, I skimmed through a broadsheet and realized that two days hence from then was Women’s Day. I got pleased on reading the news. That’s because of two reasons. First, I was going through Indian Express after an eternity and second, I cherished at the idea of wishing those women who had impacted my Life in some way or the other. My mother comes the first in the list.
Till now my mother has impacted my Life the most. From my very birth to till this day she has been living for her children, especially for me as she loves me the most, never for herself. Self abnegation is what I have understood from her. My family has seen many adversities. The state of affairs was not the same some 30 years ago. Financial situation of our family was not good in those times. She has fought hard to raise my siblings. After my birth the situation improved in my family. She got me admitted to an English medium school, where none of my siblings got a chance to. I am very obliged to her for this. My love for this language won’t have got developed if not for her, if any time in future I get admitted into a reputed B school, it would only be because of her. I have never thanked my mother for what I am today. I would definitely do it, some day by making her proud of me.
My insularity has taught me a lot. Now, I have understood how cooking is difficult. And I in home used to blame my mom for not making delicious cuisines, blast at her for every petty thing. I expected her to be perfect and myself to do away with the responsibility of household stuffs. I repent for being so unwise then. She works all the day long even her vigour has not diminished a bit till date. One can find mother either in the kitchen or in the “Puja” room. Either she would be preparing some eatables for the family including the dogs that we have, or she would be praying to GOD for the well being of every individual in the family but her. I dedicate this day of mine to my Mother. It would have been wise enough to do that on a Mother’s day but still not so unwise to do it today.
And for other women in my life, they are yet to come ;).

Hey, I wish I'd wished my mother on Women's Day. Come to think of it, now I'm feeling very guilty about it. I never have thanked my mother, never praised her, never helped her... Shit! I still can do it now, but the realization was delayed by a long long time...
Don't feel guilty dear. I feel U bestow more respect to ur mom than I do to mine. This is one of the reasons I admire U my dear friend.
Anyways, better late than never.
And I am waiting for the day when she would really be proud of me!!!
That would be my way of thanking her.
