THE Day!

 Yes, it is that day of the year as ever. The Mother's Day! How do you find it? A ritual? Yes and no, may be, as the Frenchies would put it. 

Yes, unmistakably it is a marketing frenzy. It IS a sales strategy. True, one cannot deny this fact. It is a guilt wash trip as well. Guys and gals, who regularly ignore their mothers, remember her with a mushy pic or two, and a mushier message.

Yet, in my opinion, even in its present form, it is a wonder day. These days, hotel chefs often perform the prime motherly duty, and many would aver that the stuff they make is much better than the famous "ma ke haath ka khana"! As for instruction, most would believe that they were directly downloaded, and there is the Chat Gpt for other mundane matters, the requirements ! Who wants a Mommie, many would say, i was a test tube baby born, moreover, the Macduff way!

In such a commercialised world, the real, the genuine Aai, though not picture perfect,  matters a lot, i believe. She is the one who selflessly always loves you the best. She is the one who instils the real values, the genuine self in you.

At every stage of your life, she will  continue to connect with you, meet you in unexpected ways even when she is physically not there, even when she has left this tiresome trauma called the contemporary  'i, me, my' world. It could be a soft hand shake of your sibling. It could be the genuine concern of your sibling that words cannot fully capture. In a way, she continues to live thus, through your sibling with whom you shared her nurturing love anyways.

That teaches you on this special day that her half forgotten memories would always haunt you, making you a better version of yourself by the day! Mother's day is every day, forever!

Pratima@ Mother is the miracle who loves you first, and forever!

N.B. : On this Mother's Day, our blog is a two years old whom I try to love and nurture the Aai way as depicted above!
