Mother's Day is approaching....and every body is writing. I lost my mom a few years ago and I reckon this is the perfect opportunity for me , to tell her how much I still love her and miss her ! Am sure she'd read this from heaven or probably from the spot down there ......where the sun sank below the horizon !!!! ( I firmly believe she dwells there )
Thank you Sulekha for giving me this opportunity to pen down my thoughts. My mother was a voracious reader , a devout Rabindra sangeet fan . She was immersed in Tagore ......Hence, here's an excerpt from "Geetanjali" ---My master
" .........My heart longs to join in thy song, but vainly struggles for a
voice. I would speak, but speech breaks not into song , and I cry
out baffled. Ah, thou hast made my heart capture in the endless
meshes of thy music, my master ( my mother ) !!
Life of my life , I shall ever try to keep my body pure , knowing
that thy living touch is upon all my limits .
I shall ever try to keep all untruths from my thought ,
knowing that thou art the truth which has kindled the light of reasonin my mind.
I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep
my love in flower, knowing that thou hast the seat in the inmost
And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions ,
Knowing it is thy power given me the strength to act . "
I wish , she could be still with me. We used to laugh together, cry together, read together...The relationship was so intense , yet paradoxical---It required intense love on my mom's side, yet this love posed no problem for me to grow up and become fully independent. SHE WAS MY BIGGEST CHEERLEADER !!!!!!!

Hi Ether,

My account is behaving funny for the past one week. Am not getting the alerts also.
Just now I saw your beautiful comment. Am sorry I got delayed in replying...
Yes, mothers are special always....I lost her in 2004. It was hard for me, and more so since she was fighting with cancer. Terrible time we had :(((
Yep..they were our cheerleaders !

Hi Bigmojo,
).
Its nice that you could open up your heart and pour out your thoughts here and I hope this made things a little peaceful and serene at your end. Its truely sad when your relationship gets strained with your parents due to lack of emotional support ....Its unfortunate that the parents donot realise that this negligence ultimately makes the child lonely for his entire life.......,it makes him embarrassed and awkward when others talk about their pleasantries on this issue.... Honestly, its a difficult situation to be in and live with this burden of an unhappy childhood... Truely sad mojo !
But, all that I can tell you here is....as an adult , is there any need to talk or think about the sad past ?? Its who you are now.....you have plenty of time now to include the missing aspects of your life .....forget the bad part of your life and "customize" your life as you want it to be ......!!!!!!!
Your comment is so articulate :) ( thou' a lil sad
I 'd written a story ' Hell broke loose " sometime back on a similar line. Check it out. Might just feel refreshd !
Am going to your page now . Thanx so much for coming and sharing . Hope to see you more often here :))

My dear Mrs. Muffet, I was here earlier but left without a comment. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't say I understand because I don't. I really do not relate when people speak in overwhelming tones about the wonderful parents they have. I grew up in their absence. Not physical. But emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Which is like being parented in absentia. :-)) While I am old enough to accept them with all their frailities today, for a long while it did hurt. To be robbed off one of the most powerful and unifying relationships in the world anyone can have. But such is life, isn't it?
Nowadays, I read about all this tragic things in the newspapers. I read about a father who was sexually abusing two of his teenage daughters ever since their mother died years back. It all became public when the younger one became pregnant with his child and made an unsuccessful suicide attempt. The elder one broke her silence.
I read about a mother who buried her new born alive, and ran away with her lover. Another that willingly forced her daughter to copulate with her father who she no longer could satisfy him.
There is so much insanity and cruelness in the world. Mothers and fathers, especially the kind that I read of when people like you write tributes on Fathers and Mothers day, make me want to believe that a different world exists. One that I wasn't born in, and one that I haven't seen as yet.
But, all the same, do not think I have nothing to say on Mother's Day. You may please come and visit my post, 'Mama, you're the queen of my heart.'
I guess we all have something to say even when silence begs to be maintained. :-)
