Mothers day

On the occasion of mother's day, I would like to wish all the wonderful mothers of the world especially my mom and wanted to write a few words and here it goes. 

I have observed that one of the things that will keep anybody going is knowing that they are an inspiration to somebody out there. We try very hard every moment of our life doing the best we can, to be a role model to our parents, family, kids and society at large. In this time and age inspite of having good jobs, family, kids, we feel like something is missing. I am sure everybody might have thought atleast once about the purpose of their life. What have they achieved in their life? Was their life really useful? Nobody really knows if they are able to make any difference. So it's good to make a practice to tell somebody/anybody out there if they really made a difference.

As life passed through, I realized one thing. when you want to save yourself from a hurricane you need a strong pillar (or rock). And life is full of hurricanes that they can sweep you off your feet. If the pillar (or the rock) itself moves, it is no good. My mom is a strong pillar. Absolutely strong. Whatever happens, if you talk to her, she may have a solution in her own way. Having lived through her life, maintaining sanity, and getting to this point without a single cent in hand, with no guarantees about the future is not a joke. I can never imagine being able to achieve that feat in life. 

Lot of good things to write about her. To never give up attitude, to keep going whatever people say or think, to simply doing your job inspite of whatever is happening around. These qualities require strong will and faith. These are not easy to get. A person achieving these is nothing short of a miracle. Our patience levels have come down in general. Now-a-days we are seeing a lot of people getting to their breaking point. I myself wanted to give up a lot of times in my life. Maintaining sanity (without external stimuli) in this time and age is not easy with jobs and living (in general) becoming tougher by the day. For every problem I get, every tough situation I face, I always think that what is this compared to what my mother faced in her life. Just that very thought will give enough strength to get me going. 

Being born in a family with a tradition/belief of not saying good things out loud, at some point it will become extremely difficult to appreciate things people are doing for us. But I am here to say out loud that my mother has been an inspiration. 

I am sure all the mothers in the world are great and inspirational in some way. They go through several sacrifices every single day to keep the family going. I want to take a moment to tell you all that somebody might be thinking that you are their inspiration. Please feel happy knowing that you are making a difference in this world and your life is absolutely useful in shaping the future generations and giving them strength and hope to continue in a good path.

Happy Mothers day to all
