Maa Jaisa Koi Nahi! We are clueless without mothers. Somehow, they always know exactly where our things are kept. They are our best guides and nobody can empathize like them. They have this almost supernatural ability to know everything about our lives even when we make our best attempts to keep secrets. It’s like they can sense everything. 

Regardless of our age, we will always be kids to them. And as we grow up, we realize how we have been unnecessarily mean to them. Safe to say, at one point in time, we all have taken our moms for granted. And mother’s day becomes that yearly reminder to acknowledge their irreplaceable presence. But shouldn’t this be done every day and not on just one special occasion?

Tu hi meri sham-o-sehar, jo mere sang chale…”

Janmon ka sangam hai…”

Tune waari hai
O Maaaa…”
