If you are truly able to say to yourself:

“I was / am a good son or daughter to my parents,that’s the greatest reward or award you got in life for yourself.

“MERE PASS MAA HAI” (I have my mother with me).

These words spoken by Shashi Kapoor to Amitabh Bachchan in Yash Chopra’s movie “DEEWAAR “provokes an emotion in most human beings that the woman who gives youbirth and unconditional love throughout your life, and if you have her with you today, it is the greatest real priceless wealth

If she is not alive today and you feel her everlasting love and memories and If you are truly able to say to yourself “I was /am a good son or daughter to my parents,that is the greatest reward or award you got in life for yourself.

Humbly and happily, I can say that for myself that I was there for my parents when they needed me.

I like to suggest to all readersbe there for your parents when they need you.Tell them you love them as often as possible. we all have wonderful loving memories and fights with our mothers, it’s good to revisit them quietly in our heart and smile.

I personally put my mother before God.

I recall my childhood memories of her loving care, her teaching me discipline, cookinghealthy Indian food,respecting elders and women, about spirituality,about being grateful to the universe for what I was given, and a lot more I learnt from her.

I always felt loved and cared for by my mother, even though many times I was scolded by her even in my adult life for good reasons when my behavior was not to her standard.

When I look back at those scolded moments today, I smile.

 

She was married to a great man. Amrit Malik, my loving caring father, my friend, myguide. I also have three good,loving siblings Chander, Raaj and Niru.

 

My mother Tara Malik left for her spiritual home in heaven in 2004, but here I say to her:Every day is a Mother’s Day for me.

I love you very much and I always feel your presence with me. Thank you for all you did for me.
