Ever since my childhood, I have seeked for help in everything I do. From completing my school projects to choosing my clothes. My mother-‘my engine’ as I call her has been behind everything that I have achieved till now.
Each minute,each second of these eighteen years, she has played different roles- as my mother, my teacher, my best friend , my mentor....the list is never ending. But all this long, the only thing that did not change was her binding faith in me.
Every time I thought I was incompetent, she would hold my hand; look at me right in the eye and say-“I know, my doll can do it.” I don’t know how she did it; but every time that I went to her for advice,she would keep mum,listen to my views which changed every minute and always ask me to keep my cool and think again. And just as I would realise that my problem is solved, I would jump to my feet , hug her and say my patent dialogue-“Ma, you are the best.”
Now,that I am in VIT, in my new home(really away from home), I realise what a transformation i have undergone(all kudos to my mother). She not only has natured me, but also nurtured me from a kiddish ambiguous girl into a young independent girl who now, out of her mom’s nest is capable enough to manage herself well in this new world.
Now, whenever I am in a fix, and don’t know what to do,I think of my mother, and within a fraction of a second, my lips curve into a smile and I hear my inner voice saying to myself-“Ma, u are the best”..!!:)
