To all the Mother's of the Arshians and to those Arshians who are Mother's and who are Mother's-to-be and to my very own Amma...
Happy Mother's Day !!!
I've been blessed with the World's Best Mom., Love You Maa!!! She is Sweet, Strong, Patient, Lovable, Selfless, Always, like Always ready to help friends n family n neighbors. Goes *like literally* to help out!
Loves us(2 bros n me) immensely. She raised us as a Single Parent, my father working out of town...
She is been My Best Friend, My Teacher in every sense.., constantly teaching me to Always slide thru people's mistakes n hurts, n forever share n spread Love. So I strongly believe in...
To Err is Human.., To Forgive Divine!!!
The Love in your Heart
Wasn't put there to stay
Love isn't Love
Till you give it away
But she says now, that perhaps she had been wrong in raising me to BE Good, cz people think we have some defect.
I don't know if Being Good is Bad, but perhaps...
Being Too Good is...People take you on a ride. U won't know it until you are tattered.
Yes, we are born defective, we will be that way no matter what people say or think. We try to change but go back to being who we are.
Can't wait to be with you mumsie, can't wait to put my cheek on your cool back, n go back to the times when I was in college. Cz I had U for all myself then, with Annaya(Big Bro) studyn in U.S. n Younger one studyn in diffrnt city, ofcrs I did miss my bros like hell!!!
Love You n Miss you n Think of you every day of my life.
This is a part of a Telugu Song, which I sing when I miss my parents...
Amma Choodali Ninnu Nananni Choodali
I want to see U,(Amma) and Nana(dad)
Nana ki Mudhu Ivali
Give kiss to Nana
Ni Vodoli Nidhura Povali
Sleep on your Lap, Amma
For some being a Mother might have been a breeze, for some it might have been like a 'Tapasya'. It's all in your fate...
For me it took 2 yrs... It was such a difficult time, plus had to endure more pain from the so-called well-wishers.
Anyways, by God's Grace n ofcourse by VRS efforts, I finally became pregnant.. YEAHHHH
OUR HARD WORK PAID OFF BIG TIME... :)
When the doctor gave me the due-date, I thought how come babies are never born on the same date. N it would be great if my baby was born on same date.*shruggn*
Towards the end of pregnancy, I had pain in my chest & went to the E.R. There after the tests, Doctor's found that I had multiple stones in my Gall Bladder, n said they have to 'Induce Labor' in couple of days, so I can deliver the baby, before I have the pain again.
They sent me home, after 3 days-with me arguing with the doctor as to how will I have the energy to 'Push', if I don't eat n I better get out of the hospital...
Finally went back home n after proper eating and resting went bk 2 the hospital.
The next day morning they had induced the labor n in the eve, the pains started n finally within 45 mins of pushing hard, the baby came out. PHEWWWWW
We were blessed with the most beautiful Angel, Anjali on Aug 9th . Man, my wish had come true...
Ain't that a greatest feeling - to be a Mother/Mummy/Mom/Maa/Amma.
To Hold your Precious Baby in your arms.
The Enjoyment you get and with that the Fulfillment.
You feel you are complete as a Family.
Your priority changes completely.
Your whole world revolves around them.
Anjali was born on the exact due-date given. YESSS Target Achieved *in James Bond Mode...*
The music lover that I am, you can probably imagine how it would have been in our house.
NO!!! I didn't put music on, but sang n sang n sang n sang. I sang my heart out! I put in all my Love into the singing...for My Precious Baby!!!
N she would goto sleep when I would sing for her... Spent all the time with her, reading books, singing my fav songs, listening to rhymes *Later on as she grew older*.
Anjali couldn't take sad or slow music or songs *just like me,can't take sad things*. Her lips would start quivering & then she would just cry. Awww My Poor Baby!!!
After 1 month I had Anjali, got the Biopsy done. Doc removed d Gall Bladder completely. My Mom had come for my delivery. I can't thank her enough for all the help, my mom did at that time. After 2 more months she had left.
Then it was just me n my daughter, cz VRS worked out of town Mon to Fri n so he was travelln every week, . I was more or less like a Single Parent.
After 4 years n 3+ months we had our second beautiful Angel, Aanika on Nov 23rd . *Luckily it took us 2 months only this time*
Aanika was a small baby. She came out in about 20 mins I think., Probably cz I dn't eat much during the pregnancy. Had nausea in the first 3 & last 3 months of pregnancy.
Anjali was so jealous of Aanika, cz I didn't spend much time with her. She was so used to me, since vrs was travellin.
Luckily Anjali got used to her dad & he would take care of her. While me n My Mom *she had come again 4 my delivery - thx Amma* would take care of Aani & my Mom wud take care of the household wrk n also everyone.
Aani would sleep during the day n wake up the whole night. Man, it was difficult maintaining that timings. After 2 months she slept normally..Phewww
But I did not spend as much time with Aanika as I did Anjali, nor was I able to give Anjali the full attention she was used to! It is tough, spally if your hubby is not around.
Anjali started sleeping in her own room when she was around 5. And on the weekends when vrs came home, Aani who was months old baby would be scared of vrs. She would realize that he was sleeping next to her n she wouldn't even turn towards him... Poor Baby...
Eventually VRS got his work nearby n he would come home from work every day..WoW! What a feeling that was... So he saw more of Aani, n she warmed up to him slowly.
He is more attached to Aanika, n Loves her more .,probably cz he spent more time with her or that she is younger, but he also has that Special Love for Anjali, probably her being our first baby.
We are indeed Lucky to have been bestowed with Two Beautiful Daughters... Innumerable Thanks to our Lucky Stars..
They bring out not only The Best in me, but believe me, also The Worst. All in all I feel so Special n Proud to be my Angel's Mother...
And how can I not mention Lolo, who is my Aarav in AH. *Hugging you tight* I feel so Special to have you in my Life, thx to Shal's efforts. *wink*
Lolo, I feel so proud of you for who you are... *Damn I did good* I was a single mother in AH for a while too. Ya ya ya Shal, u taught Lolo to be Strong like you.
Lolo, Thanks for being there Always - ur speciality, not just for me but for others as well...
Continue being who you are... And I pray to DM U achieve what you aim in your life!
LOVE U - The Three ANGELS In My Life
