First of all, Happy Women’s Day to All the Beautiful Women reading this post.

“Naari Naam Upasana Ka yeh Har Roop Jeewan Hai” I recall this line from a TV show that used to come a long time back. Nari or Woman is the most beautiful and creative creation of Mother Nature. She has been blessed with the power and honor of bringing a new life into this world. She has been given this responsibility to keep the cycle of life going. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform. Isn’t that something to feel not just good but proud for? Why a woman has to bear the unbearable pain during the labor which is compared to the pain one experiences with 20 bones being fractured at one time? Why she has to go through the initial tough days of child upbringing? Why she has to play multiple roles throughout a day? Why?? There is only one answer – because she is capable of handling multiple roles efficiently; because she has all the potential to achieve whatever she puts her mind on. Because she is a form of Shakti. How wonderful is that? But as they say, nothing comes easily to anyone. We all have to strive for success, work hard. Do you think, it would have been easy for her?

 

Usually, I do not post in Marathi but this image is so true when we think of a woman. She takes a flight with responsibility. No complaints, no tiredness.

 

 

Today, when we are moms, we can imagine what and how our mom must have handled all this. She must be in her 20s when got married and maybe by 30s or before had kids. She must have learned motherly responsibilities while she was still a small girl from inside wanting her mom to pamper her. But with the baby in her arms, she suddenly must have realized that now she has to forget about her pamper wishes and needs to focus on how she can nurture her little one. How whole-heartedly she must have accepted this new role and welcomed it into her life. That was the first hat that she had worn. Till yesterday she was somebody’s daughter and today she was holding her daughter. Time passed by and her responsibilities kept growing. When she got some mini-breaks, she wondered how time has flown and how much she had achieved. Her real achievements were not her promotion or salary but how she had nurtured her kids. She felt as if she lived her life to its fullest. Those were her true possessions. But does that mean that she never felt weak or she never wanted to cry out loud or she never underwent some deep emotions? She did but she knew how to handle them so beautifully that we never got to know that they had ever existed.

 

 

Have you ever seen a feeling of pride in your mom’s eyes? Have you ever paid attention to the joy in her voice and twinkle in her eyes when she talks about you to someone? If not then now is the time to start paying attention to these small things. Because she will not tell you how excited she feels when she thinks of you or how proud she feels when she talks about your achievements.

 

A mother is the first female figure that we get introduced to in our lives. And while growing up we don’t realize how much she has sacrificed for us. But now when we are a mother, we know that inside our mom there is a girl who is also looking for pampering. Let’s give her that chance to have some pampering sessions. So far, she has lived her life on our terms. What we liked, where we wanted to go, what we liked to eat. It was more about “us”. Somewhere “I” was missing in that. Now let’s give her the chance. She may not be with you at this moment so pick up your phone and call her and try to notice her voice, and her excitement. If you are among those lucky ones who live nearby your mom’s place and try to make a trip. Maybe a surprise one.

 

Enjoy Women’s Day with the most special woman in your life…

 

I am dedicating this post to my mom and to all the wonderful moms who blessed us with this wonderful life and showed us the true meaning of being a woman.

 

Let’s Salute to the Nari!!
