THE world recently celebrated International Women’s Day. The day being celebrated for the distinguished valour of a woman, esteemed stamina of a woman, humble and sincere persona of a woman, the grace and charisma of a woman, the indomitable might of a woman, the indefinable glory of a woman, value of innumerable sacrifices of a woman, caring, nurturing and sacrificing character of a woman, vigorous persistence of a woman and epitomic stature of a woman. The successful accomplishments of multifaceted roles in differentiating capacities right from cooking tasty food and feeding it, doing efficiently all the household jobs, giving birth and raising children with great sense of responsibility, care and nurture, taking care of elderly people in the family, being the support system of their life companion to being equally efficient while carrying out their workplace activities and contributing effectively to social welfare and empowerment. The first woman I was introduced to; the woman who introduced me to this wonderful world. “My Mother”. She has been my first and foremost inspiration in my life.

 

She raised me with utmost love, care and nurture. She was so loving and caring by nature but equally strict too at appropriate occasions. She cultivated absolutely precious “Sanskar”. Important pivotal upbringings I received from her as a lifelong directions about perseverance and persistence, path of truthfulness, adherence and tenacity towards honesty, integrity and probity. A vision to differentiate between right and wrong, a vision to distinguish between good and bad, a vision to find distinction between what is ethically correct and incorrect. The vision of veracity and righteousness; The ability I captured in my life as an impactful consequence of “Sanskar”, my Mother instilled in me. She had been playing multidimensional significant roles in my life as the visionary guide and philosopher, a well wisher, Supreme Guru and confidant mentor. Right from implantation of education, pursuit of creativity, inculcation of vision, attainment of wisdom, character building, to progressive ideas of self development, strict adherence to ethics and morality and strong value system.

 

Whatever little progression, elevation and upliftment of my own version, I am able to accomplish today is all the blessings of “My Beloved Mother”. She is not anymore with me. She has left this world and went to even beautiful unknown world some time back. It’s like the part of my soul has left me. But she is alive in the immortal form of love and blessings and “ Sanskar” she has strongly cultivated in me. “Woman”, being an absolute angelic soul, extremely tolerant by nature but strictly vehement and befitting replier to the situation and vigorous handler of the circumstances she be facing. Sensitive yet powerful, tolerant yet assertive, emotional yet courageous. The multi dimensions of personality and depth in the character of a woman is something that makes her incredible astonishingly spellbinding. Tonnes of Salutes, millions of admirations and billions of gratitudes to the Peerless Productive Pillar of the Society – “A WOMAN”.
