Woman who inspires me the most

A woman is a wonderful creation of God. Someone once said:

 "God could not be everywhere so he created Mothers".

International Women's day is marked on 8th March every year to tender respect appreciation and love towards the most wonderful creation of God, the women. It is a day to celebrate women's economic, political & social achievements and to express the gratitude to the remarkable contribution of women to our lives. A woman is a word that conjures up lot of images in our mind and brings out varied emotions of selfless love, nurturing & caring. She is a women, she is a Mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister or a friend; a women is a complete creation, she has in her power to create, nurture and transform. With such thoughts hovering over my mind I sat to figure out, the woman, who inspired me the most. And my spontaneous single thought reply was My Mother...

Her presence has enlightened my life. She is the one, without whom, I dare not have any existence. I have grown up hearing what she told me, she was born in a village married in a town, was under-looked as outdated, but with her optimism, knowledge & courage won the hearts & respect of everyone. She was a Hindi medium graduate in arts, and  she taught her children in best convent schools by teaching them after learning herself. She could be a role model to anyone as we never went for any tuition even in our senior secondary levels. She is such a perfect example of a way maker for anything she has to do. She wanted us to be studying in best schools but could not afford the tuition so she learned and taught us.

She is a versatile master who becomes a tailor, a tutor, a mason, a painter, she has cooked on chulah, have even paved the floors at home and white washed it all, to make it look good. Her unchallengeable optimism has revived the family a number of times. She took head-on lead when my father got sick & controlled all hard times, but still keeping herself in peace. She often says " Insaan se bada koi kaam nahi.." her readiness to learn makes her a champion computer gamer at age of 52. She experiments with food like a chef and today when we find many of her special dishes in restaurants on dessert table, I just admire her even more. It is just her will, optimism, hard work & readiness to learn that till today I know my mother has solutions to all problems on this earth & so do our neighbours & relatives.

Today when things are all good, and I look back on the way we have walked, I feel proud of my mother who lead us with the support of my  cool composed father. It is  simply astonishing how she has been uttering what most inspirational Gurus teach today. She has been telling us “ Man has to choose the way of his life not the situations” and many more such thoughts as she brought us up. She has no technical background nor has she to her credentials, any management or inspirational training course. But yes she has something much bigger and relevant than any degree or training that is passion to learn and attitude to conquer. 

She's an inspiration  for each family member, who has inculcated in us the streak of Optimism & Self-Belief.

She'll remain to be the women who not only inspires me the most but also keeps fascinating me with her capabilities. I owe myself to her, and wish to gain strength from her, at each step of my life.
