Mere paas Maa hai… — this legendary dialogue from the film Deewaar isn’t just iconic cinema; it’s a line that echoes the core emotion of millions of Indians. There are countless films in Indian cinema that have beautifully captured the profound bond between a mother and her child. It’s no surprise, because when we think of unconditional love, the first face that comes to mind is that of our mother.
When in pain or distress, without a second thought, the word “Amma” or “Maa” escapes our lips—it’s instinctive. It’s not just habit; it’s an emotional lifeline, a silent prayer, a source of comfort and courage. That one word carries the essence of home, safety, warmth, and strength.
In Indian culture we revere our mother as a divine being, she is not just a caregiver—she is the first teacher (guru), the guiding light, and the soul of the household. It’s a sentiment we continue to live by, even today, in both quiet moments and grand celebrations.
From managing the family with the smallest of household details to juggling work she keeps working quietly to raise a loving family to make her young ones conquer their dreams. In this pursuit of her children there are several sacrifices, which she does with a smile, at times go unnoticed. Whether she is a homemaker or a professional, she is always there for her children.
On this Mother’s Day, let us celebrate this wonderful person whom the creator has gifted us, shaped our values, and stood by us at every step. Let’s take time to express our love—not just with gifts, but with gratitude, presence, and words.
In this worldly order let’s remember, that a mother’s love is still the strongest force we ever know. Let this Mother’s Day be a reminder to celebrate her—every single day.
