Thanks Maa! Trust me, you have done a good job!
In the nights of agony, you were my solace
Your comforting words Maa, led the flame burning!
All my fears, inhibitions disappear, the moment I think of you,
I know we all have to walk our own path,
but thanks Maa for being my torch-bearer
I know, my restlessness always worried you, still you never showed,
“Come on, you can do it”– this is what you roared.
You know Maa, my friends say that I am so tough,
They queue up to take my advice and call me to solve their problems,
That very vulnerable and sensitive girl inside me peeps out and applauds-
and I can imagine your face brimming with pride & joy,
I chuckle to myself “Ah! What a transformation!”
You nurtured me with rich values and ethics,
You taught me to trust, when the whole world seemed despicable,
You taught me to be compassionate and to love,
I believe, this has really worked,
I can let go hard feelings so easily, and I can breathe…
I breathe to be free, I breathe to be at peace, I breathe to live my passion.
I am able to stand up for myself and for the things I feel are right,
Nothing can crumble my self-belief, nothing can deter my confidence,
I am no more brittle, nothing can break me down,
I breathe to aspire what I desire, I breathe for my ‘continuous evolution’
I promise Maa, I will always keep my conscience alive
See Maa, I am growing up and have grown up all these years,
I’ve captured my doubts, I have fought with my weaknesses,
I’ve followed my dreams and have explored my strengths….
Really Maa, your cocooned caterpillar is slowly growing into a butterfly,
A butterfly with spread out wings and multiple colours of life.
Maa, now you can heave a sigh of relief, just sit back and see me flying….
Thanks Maa! Trust me, you have done a good job
Kudos to you,
Love You,
Your baby J

Yuvaraj Shele, a small-time worker from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, did battle many odds and arranged for his mother Ratna’s wedding a few weeks ago. The main point that he put forth was that he felt his mother was lonely and saw the need for her to live happily.
A myth that goes without saying is that only a woman can understand another woman better. What happens when a man does understand what a woman goes through? Especially when the woman is his mother, that too when she is a widow?
This scene does remind of a few movies/web series where the daughter/son do realize their mother’s emotions and towards the end, they approve of their new relationship.
Just because they are married a husband isn’t entitled to be violent to his wife. Just because a man is "in love" with a woman, it doesn't give him a right to be violent.
Trigger Warning: This speaks of graphic details of violence against women and may be triggering for survivors.
Anger is a basic human emotion, just like happiness or being sad. One chooses his/her way of expressing that emotion. It is safe until that action stays within oneself.
What happens when that feeling is forced upon another? The former becomes the perpetrator, and the latter turns out to be the victim.
