it is already mother's day in india. here mrs K has already received the dues from her children, as she is getting ready to go to india for a few days.
and the hindu is full of successful +2 toppers who in the face of adversity, and so much of those, have beaten it, and come out on top. there are too many stories for me to narrate or refer here. all you need is to go to hindu online to view some heartwarming cases. all of them girls, and that too from poor backgrounds.what happened to the boys?
but there was this one mother, who said, 'My father would not let me go out alone, but I want my daughters to go fight the world. My oldest daughter is the only girl in a class of 68 boys, but it doesn’t make any difference to her because she really wanted to study mechanical engineering. Similarly, Kamatchi too will be successful someday'.. what a vote of confidence from this flower seller mother, blessed with three over achieving daughters.
.. and look at what the daughter says, 'We got a TV only last year. Our father is perpetually in debt. We want to repay all that and make sure our parents have a comfortable life ahead'. i can only dream of my children, well materially endowed they are, even to whisper one fraction of such sentiments.
not that i expect it, but i am overwhelmed by such expressions of gratitude, and many a times wonder, if we did something wrong in bringing up our children - they had all the stuff they wanted, and poverty for them is only a noun, and never experienced. or here in canada, never seen, either.
