One thing that I noticed with them is that, most of the times they regret that at an old age.

And Indian mothers make their son’s life hell? Perhaps, you should get a man’s perspective. The way, men and women think has a radical contrasting difference. What seems hell to you ,might not be hell to a man. Women create stormy fights out of small petty issues. Men don’t, or rarely do so.That’s why it seems to you that Indian mothers make their son’s life hell.

My daughter is 25 and in the early stages of her career. She is not married yet and may not for a time. I am most proud of her independence and drive in her pursuit of her own life. Your writing about your personal truths from within a prism of a culture very different and yet very similar to ours is most enriching. To realize that the dignity of women across the globe is marching forward. Your work contributes to my confidence in the stature of all women of which my daughter is just one.

Once again you have not got what I have said. I am a doting mother myself but I wholeheartedly support Suchismita. Because I believe in freedom of choice.

Cheers
Amrita

Very kind of you. Thank you very much. I am not into blogging. I am a casual writer who writes poems, feelings which I feel from my heart. I just came across this article in FB and wrote some comment. So my friend’s wife had advised me to write my reply to this blog directly. And hence I get appreciation from a National Award winner and a proud mom. Really a great motivation for me. Thank you very much once again. Congrats for you award and hope in near future you will again start winning many awards.

Regards,
Abhijit Bandhu

I have gone through your reply and find some negative things and some facts. First if you don’t find true love, that doesn’t mean, true love doesn’t exist. Similarly if you haven’t seen mothers love, sacrifice, feelings for her children, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Still when I go my hometown, my mother used to cook my favorite recipe and continuously staring at me while I was eating. I can see a smile when I tell her that it’s the best food I can get anywhere in the world. Every day she used to wake me up. So they really care about your whereabouts. But many youngsters find that as attacking their privacy.

Come to mother in laws, they are bad, have very hard feelings, dowry monsters as shown in Ekta kapoor’s dramas. But now days, wives want their husband to live separate from their family. So basically they separate their husbands from their parents when they perhaps need their son the most (with time they get old that’s why).

When you are living together, small difference will be there and you all have to sort those things. This is happening in every family. I hope this must have happened with you mom-dad too. So those can be sorted.

Now coming to the point that knowing something from others which you haven’t experienced. Most of us complains or discuss problems but they don’t disclose the moments of happiness they enjoy. In the movie “Life in a metro”, Irfan khan said a very good line – “gadi bahar nikalo, kyunki jab tak gadi bahar nahi nikaaloge to kaise pata chalega signal red hai ki green hai.” So you first take the experience, take your chance and then feel what motherhood is. Or the best thing is you can ask you MOM about how she had felt the day when you came to this world and how she felt now because of you? Hopefully you will get the answer. Period.

Abhijit Bandhu
