Ode to the mother

Written by Tanima Ray...

Cutting the finger along with vegetables..
Burning the skin while cooking..
Breaking the long nails while making dough..
Tying the hair even if they are wet as there's no time to dry them..
Getting immersed in sweat..
Serving all and eating at the end..
At times being hungry and feeding all..
Cutting down all expenses and plans to meet the needs of others..
Being the home minister..
Every celebration's arrangement done with pomp,show and wise budget..
Being equally responsible at the workplace..
Getting a satisfactory response from the boss..
Being punctual for every task assigned..
Waking up early and sleeping lately..
Huffing and puffing in the day's tiresome routine..
This is what's gonna happen when i grow up..
And this is what my mom has been doing besides all my hot confrontations with her..
You think its an easy task?
I have seen her doing all this and m still watching her same note of dedication..
Today when i am realising things i salute her and every working lady for their contributions towards the society as well as family..
And i know i have been a total jerk at times by not understanding my own mom..But now i do understand you Maa..
And all i want is your blessings so that when my turn comes i would be as responsible as you and my kids wont fight and misunderstand unlike me... :')
