Amma one word
Amma is my everything, my sentiment, my best friend, my critic , mine
Being grown up in a family where education was given the atmost importance, My mother did her best for my brother and me. She is discipline. She wanted to become a doctor, as she couldn't, she made me one by my choice. She used to study for us, write questions,ask answers. We never had to go to tuitions until the IIT running race set in. My mother was our teacher at home. Father the mathematician. I used to think of her as a strict mom, but now I know that she was very generous with us, my kids are going to feel hell and pray that I land up in hell.
She is a very passionate and Challenging woman who did her MCA when we were in our 7th grade. My dad is a very supportive person. She managed our home, her studies ( was the university topper) , our studies, dad and his office all together, meanwhile helping everyone who have asked for help. She keeps us in place. It's a chaos otherwise.
Ammaaaaaaaa You are my role model amma. You have set the standard high.
Thank you for teaching me to not settle for anything less than I deserve. You have taught me to raise my point open in the world, even if the entire world is against it. You have taught me to stand by the right. You have taught me that there is so much happiness in giving. Most importantly you have taught me how to forgive. You have taught me that even when people around us try to bring us down, noone can do anything to us unless we give up.You never gave up nor will I. Do good, be good, be happy - principles you have taught us.
How can you be so patient?how do you know what we want even without us asking? How could you forgive me for all the things I did ? How can you forgive me for all the harsh words I said ? How can you be so giving ? I remember the days when you used to scold Anna and me for the silly things we did ,and end up crying and feeling bad.
I remember once during my teenage when I said " all mother's do everything that you do" .
No amma . All don't. I'm sorry I din't know then. I din't mean them too. I can't imagine how hurt you must have been. I'm sorry amma.
No amma . All don't. I'm sorry I din't know then. I din't mean them too. I can't imagine how hurt you must have been. I'm sorry amma.
Nanagaru and you have given us all that we wanted even if it was difficult for you . We are always your priority. Is that what parents do ? I don't think I can even be 1/100th good as a parent as both of you are.
Thank you for being my best friend,for being friends with my friends, for being there for me, for believing me and giving me the freedom to be an independent woman. I'm one of the few lucky ones who could discuss proposals to crushes with a mother.
Even before I knew what was good for me, you would let me choose what I want. You have let me learn from experience, being my pillar. Nanagaru & you have changed and evolved for us . You dint stay back like parents of 1960's . That transition is difficult . A generation difficult. But both of you did that for us. Thank you.
Both of you have taught us that people & feelings are important not materials. I wish we never forget such high morals.
Be the same person you are since the past 52 years. Not even a day goes by without thinking of nanagaru and you amma. You are my strength. I miss both of you & I love you more than you know. Happy birthday amma . May God bless you with happiness and health . You are the best. My nanagaru is the best too. Thank you for choosing us over everything else.
