October is the month, I had lost you. And when I saw this
“MakeYourMotherSmile” campaign running on the occasion of Kalam Sir’s Birthday,
I was wondering how could I do this when you’re not even around me anymore? I
can sense your touch though, but scent of your presence, warmth of your breath,
reminiscence of your lap… How could I bring back all those memories, just in
few words?
I was not an easy child. I literally
don’t know how did you manage all chores especially my tantrums? And then I learnt
no one can understand your silence except your mother, genuinely you were
silence-reader, were? You still are…whenever I get upset, the moments I spent
with you, make me smile and I forget for a while, that you are not with me anymore. You are the one who made me believe that we
make mistakes, we try, we can’t be perfect, and that’s how we live.
When I was in hospital, that while
liquid continuously flowing in my left arm—drop by drop. Doctor advised you to caress
my arm, the six nights you didn’t even care to blink. How could you love me so selflessly? You
taught me how to feel pain of someone else, when your 6-years-old student broke her
hand— I caught an intense pain in your eyes as well. That’s the definition of Mother.
Although I have been trying to survive without
you, but my fingers still yearn for your palm, memorizing your words
‘Simplicity what makes us unique!’
I owe you my life…Maa!
