Chirag Sharma

Mother has the most special place in everyone’s life and every kid loves ones own mother the most on this earth. There are no words which can express my feelings and gratitude for her love and care she showers on me. My mother is the fountain of love for me. She has sacrificed so much to bring me up even to the age of four that no matter what I do to pay her back, will never ever be able to do even minuscule of it. I am sure everyone’s mother is caring more than the other in this world.

My mother whom I call `Maa’, has shared all my infanthood stories with me, of which I have not been aware like all other kids. Now, I feel how much I have bothered my mother right from my arrival in this world. But she still loves me and adores me as her best reward in life.

Eversince I have started going to my school St Kabir, Chandigarh, my mother toils every morning to get me ready for the school. She packs very healthy freshly cooked food for me everyday. My dress is always the most immaculately prepared. When I look around in my class, I see many of my class-mates who get ready-made junk food, mothers have no time for them. It seems their mothers take their school as drudgery or its all verbal only. This is where I find my mother so special and different, as you all say `class apart’. There is always a bright smile on my mother’s face. She is always there to receive me at the school bus stop. And I wait for the moment when I alight from the bus and straight into my mother’s warm lap. Its this hug and kiss which I yearn for all the time and dream while travelling in school bus on my return trip for home. The touch of mother is like a high voltage charger! All my fatigue dissipates in a split second!

As of now, I can only say thanks to my mother. I am lucky to have a mother who is so caring… certainly more caring than mothers of many kids around me. Most of these modern young mothers live artificial life, I can say so based on facts, some just can not work and others have no inclination to do so. I won’t hesitate to say that most of them have no clue how to live a happy family life. Though, these days its in vogue to talk about family and all related issues in a stylish manner. They think buy an expensive toy or get a 24×7 maid-servant to look after kids, that  is the best they can do as mothers.

My mother has groomed me so carefully, from the day one that I got admission at St Kabir School, so easily that it made most raise their eyebrows about my admission. For, I had never been to a preparatory school.
