Today is Mother’s Day and the world is celebrating it, be it TV channels or websites. Every where there are talks about this special bonding between mother and child. Internet is full of offers and ideas of gifts to present to your Mother. The effort is to make “Mother “feel special in all ways. Motherhood is epitomized. Reality shows are cashing on this emotion of mother, mothers are invited and they feel proud seeing their kids perform and the child thanks her on TV.

Well, all this pinched me some where deep down. Amidst this entire emotional extravaganza over Mother’s Day…………others are oblivious to the fact that what are those women feeling, who want to become mother and feel motherhood but are deprived of this ………….I am among those women who are sitting before this idiot box today, sulking over these serials who are cashing and dramatizing Mother’s Day.

I don’t have anyone to tell me “Mamma I am proud of you, you are best mummy” and hug me lovingly, and hiding an amateur card and then say mamma I will cook for you………you just sit and rest.” “But who told you to do this?”

“Mamma, my teacher told, that on Mother’s Day, mummy should rest, it’s her day “

And then papa and kiddo get together to cook something especial for me making sure that I don’t keep my foot down from bed………..and finally serving me Maggi……….ha ha ha!! for that is the only food both of them can cook and then amidst my repeated Thanks and “I love you beta”, comes the demand for an evening out and I agree happily, “Why Not? And why wait for evening let’s go out now itself” ………….”HURRAY!!! MUMMY YOU ARE TOO GOOD….LOVE YOU!”

But sobbingly sad all this is just a dream…………..

I wished my mother and not to forget also my Mother-in-law………………..but sadly, there is no one to wish me. I get depressed over all this and go back to my praying sulking mode. I want to be wished…………and that will be really fulfilling day for me…………till then I don’t know, probably every Mother’s Day will be a day of depression for me………..a day of quiet sobbing.

Hope continues……..may be next Mother’s Day I will be back here on a positive note, till then please bear with me….

A page of my Dairy……Straight from heart.

could i see you smile if i said - "ma, you're the greatest and wishing you a great (belated) mother's day"?? somewhere, one lucky being is being formed to call you out loud and clear - "MA" all your life. On behalf of all the daughters here in sulekha, i wish you a great mother's day. please cheer up. god wont let you down. i will pray for you. just consider me as one of your daughers!

love
psych
