My Gaurdian Angel From The Heavens Above

Just a thought of my mom touches and soothes the deepest corners of my heart. Her selfless love and the light of her wisdom caresses my soul on the darkest of nights though today I am far far away from her. Yes, she now lives with God but connects with me every single day from the heavens above. The fragrance of our beautiful relationship still mesmerises my soul and I and my actions are nothing but her reflections. All the words of the universe will fail me to express my gratitude to her for all she has done for us and this is the reason why me and my younger brother always called her 'Mother India'. Yes, she resembles Nargis of Mother India not only in her ethereal beauty but also in the way Nargis had fought all odds in the Bollywood Flick to rear her children.

The journey wasn't easy at all with life's vicious circumstances always creating stumbles but she ensured that we got proper education and made a flourishing career for ourselves. No doubt we have inherited the strength of character and extreme dedication and will power from her. Her beautiful smile never gave away the fact that she had hidden abundant pain in her heart but was still proud of her children's achievement and we in turn are so proud of hers.

Tears well up in my eyes when 11 years after she is gone, still her students write to us about how grateful they are to her for what they have become in life as well how they still remember her generous loving nature. Only yesterday one of her students who had succumbed to Polio early on in life but mom's vehement support and guidance made her fulfil her dreams despite of the inability, wrote to me on Facebook remembering her. Such was our mom who lives forever in our hearts. Whenever, I am my little brother meet we still hum the song we sang with our #MotherIndia, "Dukh bhare din beete re bhaiya, ab sukh aayo re....".

And did I mention her impeccable sense of humour she was well known for. She was gifted in terms of making the toughest situations light with her flawless banter and was loved by everyone on the family alike for staying with them in thick and thin. I try to imitate her in most of the things and a fairly new mom that I am, I admit I am still learning. Whenever I am stuck in something #BigSmall, I look up at her, my guiding angel in Heavens above and she sends me subtle hints to aid me. Such is a mother whose unconditional love is unfathomable and is beyond the ties of life and death. She is my superstar and the strongest rock of my life.

Though for me everyday is a Mother's Day, I appreciate how we dedicate second Sunday of May every year to the most precious person of our life as 'Mother's Day' and urge everyone to shower unconditional love on her that day and always. How about ordering her a unique gift from Bigsmall.com and surprising the most beautiful woman in your life. She indeed deserves much more.

I bow my head to all the Mother's of the world who are divine angels sent by God himself to make this world the most beautiful place with their true boundless pristine love...This is Truly Yours Roma wishing you a very very Happy Mother's Day.

My Most Lovely Memories of Motherhood

Hola Lovelies and Mommies,

One thing that I can write endlessly about straight from the heart, is indeed motherhood..... and of course you know it by now :) ...I have been a mother for around 6 years now but the feeling of fathoming the deepest secret of Womanhood by being a mom, still tinkles my soul and satiates me beyond compare....

I was at the peak of my career when the news of being conferred with the blessing of motherhood arrived, at a time , I expected it the least.... and was not planning a baby yet when I knew it, I immediately felt grateful to God....Much before my baby's birth, that day a Mother was born in Me...who was thinking about her little one every moment and took great care of her inside her womb...

 I felt extremely overjoyed and beautiful during my pregnancy and loved to flaunt my curves....The ambitious workaholic that I always...I either worked or rested with occasionally bothering hubby darling with midnight cravings for exotic blue berry ice-creams...but amidst all this I never forgot to smile and pass down to my baby the positive vibes full of life...I also exercised, ate well and massaged with Bio Oil to prevent those nasty stretch-marks that would later make me fumble to wear my favorite outfits...I continued this routine of applying the globally trusted Bio Oil, even after my delivery and it has magically rid me off  the skin stretching marks to a very fair extent.

Soon the fateful day arrived...my water bag burst on a flight from Frankfurt to New Delhi and I was ambulance lifted to Apollo, all thanks to the extremely helpful Airport Staff....where my little sonny was born out of 32 weeks of gestation, preterm yet perfectly fit...I was quite conscious during the C-section and when the doc gave me my little sonny to kiss, I felt ecstatic, smiling n crying at the same time…

That day my life changed completely and it now revolved around my little angel...The aggressive business development professional in me took a backseat and was overshadowed by a mommy's love and her sheer joy of holding , kissing abd beig with her little "Bundle of Joy"....

What followed were sleepless nights and a stressful nappy change and 2 hourly feed regime but all that stress vanished as he gave the most innocent grin to me...I have been all around the globe buddies, but have never seen something as beautiful as those tiny pink fingers and toes of my little angel, which I kept playing with all the time <3

I really really cherished and still cherish the motherhood experience and love weaving sweet memories each day in the journey called life...I recorded each milestone of my baby meticulously, including his first smile,his first bath, his first turning on his side, his first tooth eruption, his first step forward and what not and you can do so too by using the Bio Oil App and build your own Yummy Mummy calendar....

I loved to rock my tiny prince and I Knew he loved it too from the tinkle in his eyes...

I also loved to massage him gently everyday by my own hands before giving him baths an these were indeed our favorite times together(this was possible as I was working from home than and adjusted my work hours accordingly)...Our days comprised of loads of mushy mushy times and games like Peek-a-boo...I also sang jingles and rhymes to him very often and played soft Sai Bhajans when he was sleepy to skid him slowly into his world of dreams...As I worked with Ikea of Sweden, I got a great chance to always pick for him the best of  developmental toys designed by Children's Ikea Experts (A Blessing in Disguise)!

One of the bestest motherhood memories forever etched on my heart is the day when my little rockstar uttered "MAA" for the first time...AAHH! Can't express in words, how elated I was, my heart swell in pride..Pure selfless love oozed out of me in the form of tears of joy...The feeling was so overwhelming! 

Till today, believe me guys, when my little buddy just turning six, every day I discover a new joy of motherhood...It is truly a divine world which tends to get enriched by your child's innocent ways and his adorable talks...His kisses and hugs make me the richest person of the earth!His umpteen number of question each day don't bother me, as he is seeing the world from my eyes and will learn to love or to hate based on the experiences, I share with him....I thus never haste and explain to him each and everything to enable him to form an independent unbiased opinion as he grows up!!

Loved to share with you today some of my choicest memories of the most beautiful chapter of my life, Motherhood...

Trust you enjoyed the Read as much as I enjoyed recollecting each moment and pouring it out, straight from the heart!!

“I am sharing my #MemoriesOfMotherhood with Bio Oil and BlogAdda. This Mother’s Day check out the Yummy Mummy calendar and  make a similar calendar of your own using the Bio Oil App.”

A Perfect Aromatic Mantra to De-Stress My Momma

Words fail me to express my Deep Gratitude to you Mamma <3
For the umpteen nights when for me you were sleep deprived,

And, for forever, left my Grandmom's House 
because she hated a Girl child
and wanted to throw me out...
I know you surfaced all that trauma,
because of your infinite love for me momma,
For all those painful and stressful times,
You faced for your princess,
Today I wanna pamper you, sweetheart,
By giving up my own hands,

On my first Day to School,
When I wailed on top of my voice,
You embraced me protectively,
and handed me over to my first teacher...

But it was essential for me to get better...
Soon,my tears dried up in your subtle kisses,
And thereafter you dedicated your life,

With the advent of  Adolosence,
I further tested your patience,
With my questions irrelevant,
Never once did you shove me off,

About all the changes in me as I ,
was soon going to be an adult....
You took all my emotional upheavals in your stride,
Even when I sobbed for a heart break...

You endlessly counselled me for hours,
To direction my life 
And make me stay focused on my goals....
You accompanied me in every moment of life,
whether Good or bad,
And made me make my failures,
my stepping stones to success...
Never for a single moment ,
I felt abandoned from the shade of your love and care...
You must have wept in solitude,
Whenever I did not succeed....
But you made all that frustration and stress vanish,
As you sat beside me,teaching me,
To muster all courage once again,to start afresh...
For always and always being there for me momma dearest,
And to let you get rid of all the stress you have piled upon you for years,
I Wanna profess my deep love for you
By giving up my own hands, 
A wonderful Parachute Advanced Aromatherapy Oil Massage!!!

And when I was of age to enter the marital bliss,
With the love of my life, my prince charming,
You fought the treacherous world,
Which stood against us, due to a wide caste difference...
I would have abandoned myself to fate,
Had it not been your undaunted support...
You married me to him with so much grace,
Hiding from the world, your tears and fears..
For all the stress you undertook,
It's time that me, your daughter, today gives you,
By her own hands, 
A wonderful Parachute Advanced Aromatherapy Oil Massage!!!

Mom: My Lifeline for a Liftetime

Dear Readers, A Warm Hello to You Straight From The Heart!

Abraham Lincoln once said : "“No man is poor who has a Godly mother.” .....and nothing  can be more true than this...ever since the day I opened me eyes to see the divine light of life...My moma has undoubtedly been my God....Nothing satiates and pleases me more than thinking about my mother, being with her, seeing her, writing about her or any other thing about her....even till today when I start my thirties, she is indeed #MyFirstExpert  and the best.....

My momma is so comforting, so adorable and understanding that from times umpteen, it occurs naturally to me to seek her help and expertise in ever stage of my life....Her Presence, her Ora is so impeccable that the bitterest experiences of my life seem lessons of prudence and wisdom to me today...crafted to perfection by #MyFirstExpert  in life.... 

The Day I was born, she created an example of a lifetime for me...by bidding Good bye to my Grand-mom's home forever as she  had 6 daughters and hated a female child and wanted to abandon me on a dustbin...thereafter she reared me single-handedly, yet I never felt I missed something...She is undoubtedly praise-worthy, for the tough life she has embraced to give me, her daughter a life, she can be proud of and not perish as a female child born in an orthodox family…and trust me folks, she has just not let my life and mindset grow bitter and harsh when this reality beckoned upon me...On the contrary like a perfect expert mommy she taught how to weave sweet memories each moment in the beautiful journey called life...She is indeed my "Lifeline for a Lifetime" <3 and I bask in the glory of the fact that she is my mom.....

My mom and me like wearing our smiles always and the fun times and laughter further multiplied when we are together....Her sense of humor is contagious and I can never have enough of her...She can lift my spirits no matter adverse the circumstances and she is my Mood Enhancer whose lap is my heaven....She is my guru, My teacher and my bestest friend forever till the present day...

When I bid goodbye to childhood and embraced adolescence #MyFirstExpert  was ready to  guide her sunshine...I remember when I had my first crush at a 45 year old man when I was 15 ( I know I am slightly weird), she did not laugh at me one pence, but acted as a perfect listener and advised only when I seek it... I went Topsy-turvy in my wave of emotions as a teenaged girl but her guiding principles always came to my rescue..I love her and admire her for teaching me decision making in the softest unnoticeable manner even if it meant  few moments of pain and heart-break...In her expertise, I soon mastered in emotions and channelized my energy towards my goals in life...

Life was never a bed of roses for us but a worthy one...#MyFirstExpert  gave me immense moments and memoirs to cherish and be proud of her, in the course of life ...I still remember she cornered herself from all the pleasures of the world, to give me the best education. She worked so hard all thru' her life, to make me stand on my own feet...She used to walk 12 kms if I needed some important book for my studies, to save the money spent on rickshaw...Yet she used to teach poor children for free in the evenings for she always believed that only educated people can build a strong nation and society...She is a apostle of unconditional love and has taught me how to respect all, how simple it is to forgive, I drive my philanthropic urge too from her....I used to hang around her, pull her and nudge her (and sometimes helped her, phew!) during all her classes and when we went to Mother Teresa's Child Care centers on weekends,yet she never got angry...Her emotional balance and patience are spell-binding and I wonder what made her such a superwoman...What I remember so perfectly is the fact that that I felt very secure and very happy with her always and that continues till present day....

As I bloomed into an adult, and I had to go to a different city for further studies she became #MyFirstExpert to teach me how to differentiate between the right and the wrong; how to differentiate between the good and the bad touch and the significance of honesty and hard-work in life...Thanks to  her I amassed a Gold Medal in my automobile engineering...I took her to stage to collect it from President Abul Kalam Azad during the convocation ceremony in Pantnagar university and stream of proud selfless tears from her eyes expressed contentment that day...All her sacrifices has been paid off that day...this was the sweetest memory we weaved together, which is etched on our hearts forever...Today Thanks to her I am a good human being,Automobile Engineer, Blogger as well as a doting mother of a 6 year old....such is the strength of the sweet memories and love she has filled my childhood with....

Words fail me to express my sincere Gratitude towards my mom who is indeed my Admiration, Inspiration and the sole reason of whatever I am today....She was, is and forever will be #MyFirstExpert …Am so proud of you mamma…here are few lines for you, straight from my heart, expressing my love and gratitude for you 

 "Thankyou dear mamma,
For not only giving me life
But also teaching me, how to make it worthwhile

For not only teaching me how to walk
But also, how to fathom life's most difficult paths

For not only inculcating in me my first thoughts
But also, the deep strength to fight it out,no matter what circumstances befall

For not only hugging me whenever I fall
But also for the unconditional love which is still filled in my heart

You are undoubtedly #MyFirstExpert Momma,
because of whom my life is free of any Trauma

Whatever I am today is only because of you,
Dear mamma, thankyou......

Today I am rearing my child,exactly like you taught me...
I admire you more n more with every passing day, dear mummy......!!!!!



[I am extremely elated to pen down this tribute for #MyFirstExpert my momma dearest whose guidance is priceless to me like that of Godrej Expert for Hair Care]
