मां

 रक्त में शक्ति बन बहता 'लोहा' मां,

चंद शब्दो मे अथाह गहराई वाली 'दोहा' मां।।


कोख की मिट्टी, दूध की शक्ति - जीवन का 'आधार' मां,

वाणी में, सोच में - जीवन-शैली में बसा 'संस्कार' मां।।


जीवन दाव पे लगा के देती जीवन दान मां,

बलिदान भी नतमस्तक हो, ऐसा वो 'बलिदान' मां।।


जीवन में नमक का 'स्वाद' मां,

भाग्य से मिलता दैविक ' प्रसाद ' मां।।


ममता, साहस, बलिदान, त्याग, उर्जा -- सबके लिए 'मिसाल' मां,

सब मिसाल हो जाते फीके , ऐसी होती है  'बेमिसाल ' मां।।।

We have stories of torturing mother-in-laws and mother-in-laws setting their daughter-in-laws on fire because of dowry. We do have stories where daughter-in-laws exploit their old in-laws. But here I am going t...

The Most Special Mother's Day.

With Mother's Day around the corner, this one is from my treasured memory bag, written some seven  years ago. The first Mother’s day that was special to me was May 9, 2004. That was special because for the first time, I was experiencing this day as a mother. I was new to the mother’s world as I my first bundle of joy was born a week before . But what made the day even more special was that the first person to wish me on this day was my own mom. Since then for the last four years, I get calls and wishes every year on this day from my spouse, mom, friends and relatives.

My four year old has grown up smart enough to fill my life with surprises on special occasions like this. Well, she surprised me with a special card that she made at her school and for her age she did a pretty good job to keep t...
