There was this ad by the Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale. It set me thinking. During the Covid pandemics, the doctor and the nurses, who despite the threat to themselves and by extension to their families, chose to carry on with their duties surely had a motherly heart.
If her child is ill, a mother would go to any extent, sacrifice a lot personally and professionally, but would nurse her child back to normalcy. She gains nothing out of it, no monetary gains, no professional graph spiralling, no nothing. It is love, sheer affection, that drives her.
In fact, I would like to extend this motherly feel beyond the typical patriarchal paradigms and prjudices.Often, a father, too, sacrifices a lot for his children's welfare. In return, there are absolutely no expectations. A father, for the sake of his child's welfare, foregoes professional development or better placements in his own growth. Such a father, too, has a truly motherly heart.
Filial feel is indeed special. It is a great combo of selfless love, great sacrifices, no expectations of any favours in return. Our parents, both of them, showered it in abundance. Lucky us!This little tribute hence to that forever fount of love and concern!
Pratima @ filial is forever
