I was almost 6 years old back then, in this picture. Sitting in her lap has always been my favorite thing. Still is.

Happy Birthday, Mama! Happy Birthday 🙂
I often take the explanation, that people give sometimes, as stupid, on how sometimes they do not have the right words to explain something, it rather seems eerie and impossible to me. How is that possible that you can’t express it, you can’t explain and let it out?
I think I was wrong. There are plenty of things where I’m left speechless. Be it an argument or a mere expressing of feelings for someone. I often go hyper and high while doing that though, that is, when I make an effort =p But I always explain, always do give my reasons!
My love for mom, just like that, can not be expressed. Can not be written, penned and typed down. Can’t be acted out (no. the million kisses i give her still don’t count). Because it’s mom. God, these moms. You don’t get them, do you?
I often tell her occasionally and rather randomly, ‘Um, hey mom?’ ‘I like you so much..’ She smiles and gives away a light laugh, partially thinking that now Sarin wants a favor or wants to ask her about something, but other half, I know, she knows that she can’t doubt the seriousness of my statement.
Raising four of us is quite a job. Yet, she’s still doing it. The house is fully maintained , thanks to her obsession with cleanliness. Married to a man who’s 15 years older than her, it makes them the perfect two.
Without her, I think I’d die. One of the many reasons that I’d die is that I’d die of starvation and hunger. Yes, my Mom still shoves the food down my throat! 😀 By now, I’m immune to all the lectures I get from my grandmother, remarks passed by some close relatives – Hey, I do have hands, but I just do not want to eat until mom shoves it down. Her hands have magic and a secret power!! Sounds cheesy? But I do believe in magic, don’t we all?
I wish and pray for you to live so long that they’d have to shoot you down. ( i am kidding, please).
Mama, I love you. We all love you. Forgive me, all of us, for all those things you think you deserve an apology on. Dur-e-shehwar, all that you’ve ever done has already been noted down and goes into the history of the best mothers.
Happy Birthday. God bless. You’re special, you do need a reminder for that! ❤
Peek-a-boo? 
Happy Birthday to your Mother!
Such a blessings they are, mothers.
Exactly my sentiments, Momina! 🙂
& I’d pass on your wish to her 😉
As a father of 3 girls I find every word you wrote a treasure, from a daughter to a parent. I’m sure mother would have a good few adoring words to say about her daughter too, though she doesn’t need to, her daughter knows. As a culture, yours, its wonderful to see so much love, emotion and expression. People in northern europe are simply not capable of all three. Maybe one, or two, but not 3… and…as a little last point, the 15 years difference is music to my ears..yes…my girls’ mother and I separated..(I am too much of a dreamer!) but the love of my life is 14 years younger..everyday I worry..and I make her sad with a comment about my worry ”you are too young for an old man like me!”..and she has to warn me to stop such rubbish..so your post, with that detail, was very good for me! Hope you had a happy Eid…!
Yes, Managua, I’m glad you could relate to this post! Love has simply no age difference in it, for it should be stopped. All the very best in near future! 🙂
Yes, I had a VERY meat-filled Eid! 😉
My hello to her and hi to you too 🙂
Sweet shot and sweet memories.
Maa is not just one word – yeh to saagar hai uss pyaar ka jiska koi anth nahin 🙂
Will pass your hello to her 🙂

Gud to see in the 2nd para that u dnt seek logic behind feelings,for feelings(and love) transcend any logic…This is what makes us humans and not machines,we can ‘Feel’…If any act of ours makes our parents more comfortable,less at pain ,then we should do it……Maybe they won’t be in a position to appreciate what we have done for them,but it hardly matters coz we are not doing it for gaining their appreciation,but because we love them………let’s do whatever we can before time runs out,else after 30 years ,we’ll be pulling our hair,regretting what we could have done but didn’t do,regretting what we could have said but didn’t say…Happy birthday to ur mum 🙂
I love this blog! I’m following!

nice one! 🙂
A very happy birthday to her from my side too !
A fitting tribute to a lady, who deserves it well, from a lady, who appreciates her well 🙂 Even I can not imagine being without her- guess that is somewhat universal.
Loved your post !
A belated happy birthday to your mom and you look very cute in the picture ! 🙂
Lovely. I hope when they are older my daughters feel about me the way you feel about your mother…
hey, Sarin… a heart felt write up.. I am sure this the best birthday gift to your mom..
Happy birthday to her.. Mothers are the queens of our life and we are their little princess.. 🙂
How very true! 🙂 Thankyou for such kind words.
Very nice tribute to your mother. Both of you have heart.
Aww this is such a sweet post 🙂 We all love our mothers and we need to remember to thank them for things more often
Thankyou, Ally! Exactly my sentiments 🙂
That was a really very nice read, Sarin. 🙂 I have also penned down something on my mother. But like you’ve mentioned yourself in your later blogs that you have exams on the run, well so do I. So i’ll be blogging about my mother later. Meanwhile, do check out my single blog post so far. I just recently signed up. And i’ll be following your blogs from now on.
