Is Sharib 17 yrs old?

Maa – the first word a child utters. Maa, the person a child trusts the most and Maa, the epitome of love, endless affection and sacrifice, perhaps is the only person who can go to any length to nurture, protect and pamper her baby. She is the only person who puts her child's needs before her own, one who teaches her children the right from the wrong, one who instills the values of life, shapes her child's personality and yet it is the same Maa, who wouldn't blink once to cover up a truth just so her baby is not worried for her!!!

Yes, odd though it may sound, but there are times when our mothers cover up the truths just to save us from some tension and silently suffer it. I am sure you all have faced this in your lives. Today I will share a few such incidents from my life about my mother, the Angel, who showered everything on me and yet wanted just my happiness in return, something I am sure all the Mom's of this world are doing each and everyday!!! It will tell why they are so extra special and important in every human beings life.

I would take this oppurtunity to wish all the Mother's here at India Forums and otherwise too.

A Very Happy Mother's day to Minniedi and Barnalidi

Same goes for many others - Sangeetadi, Priya Nair, Pallavidi, Kavitadi, Gauridi, Varshadi and many others.

What comes to ones mind when one thinks of one's mother -- the love, care, compassion, the lap, the lullaby, the pampering, the rebukes, the chit chats, the arguments, their cooking, their home making skills, their patience -- every emotion that is synonymous with the word 'Maa' or 'Mother' is being celebrated in this song/qawwali.

Each one of us would surely get connected to the song in some way or the other I know. I dedicate this to all the moms -- Because they are the same, their affection and care for their child is the same -- irrespective of country, state, religion or language. This is a dedication on behalf of all those who are with their moms and all those who are missing their mom's this Mother's day (and always).

Friends, value their presence as long as they are with you. Those who are not so lucky, cherish and treasure and relive the memories for as long as you live!!!
