Happy Mother’s Day

I know most of you must be saying, why do we need a dedicated day to appreciate our Mothers? Yes we dont need one. But, how many of you actually appreciate your Mother even for a day?

I know my Mum gave up her desires for mine, fed me so that I will grow strong, taught me so I learn. She believes in me, loves me and cares about me. I remember, when I was little she stayed awake over night trying to make me sleep, keep me away from my fears. Played cricket with me, when I didn’t have anyone else to play with. In her eyes, I’m still a child. In fact, for you Mum, I’m still a child.

I remember when I was at grade 1, my Mum used to come drop me off. I would go to my class and instantly, I would miss her so much so that I would run back to the gate and wave at her. Even if the teacher is present, I would make an excuse to go see her once. For that few minutes felt like years. I may have grown older, may seem much stronger now. But believe me Mum, I still miss you the same way. You mean the world to me.I love you Mum

Remember Your Purpose

On my way home from the university, one day, I saw a banner posted on the side of a religious bookshop. It read, “Everyone has a purpose. Remember yours”. I don’t know what this banner intend to communicate to the passing by. However, when I had another look at it, a thought crossed my mind. What is my purpose? My brain must be processing millions of ideas but I couldn’t figure out what my purpose is. Perhaps it’s not that complicated.But still, my mind keep busy searching for an answer.

Oneself is the refuge for one

When life is difficult first the poeple that don’t know you go away. They dont believe in you. When it is too tough people who know you would leave you as well. And then you are on your own. Its the bitter truth of life. A guiding maxim closely related to that of my school’s: “Attahi Attano Natho” (Oneself is the refuge for one). But what hurts the most is when people who know you and once believed in you suddenly leaving you.
