...reaching out to the wretched of the earth.

Motherhood is...nurturing a child

 Children grow roots in each other when they've lost one or both parents.

Mirror, mirror on the wall....

Motherhood is… shaking in your shoes worrying about what the future holds!

 

Motherhood is…tough love

 It’s not just the ‘terrible twos’ of the toddler but all those years when we’re putting on a desperate show of mostly mock anger. Putting kids in corners, grounding them for a week, enforcing curfews, taking away Pepsi n chips, forcing spinach n veggies down their throats…  The boundaries we’ve laid down get breached.  Discipline has to be enforced. This is the hard part of parenting.

Motherhood is…reaping a harvest of masti and mischief

Mark Twain sums it all up:
‘Be respectful of your superiors if you have any, also to strangers and sometimes to others. If a person offends you and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures. Simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick.’

Moterhood is...dreaming of one world

 The last words Sri Sarada Devi spoke before
 she gave up her body are: 'No one is a stranger    my dear. Learn to make the whole world your
 own.'..... Pic shared courtesy: Unite Women's Org

Motherhood is………holding your heart in your arms

There is a line in ‘Macbeth:’  ‘Methinks I heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more!” I think it applies more to mothers with babes in their arms than to people suffering from a guilty conscience. If you've been blessed with twins like me, you know what I mean...No sleep...For months!
