We have all heard things like ‘Khana theek se khao’, ‘wear proper winter clothes’, ‘sleep on time’ by our very own Indian moms. Indian moms are especially known for words of wisdom full of love and sarcasm.
We often tend to ignore these words of wisdom but our mother’s never stop, do they? Whether you are five years old or 60, for our mother’s hum humesha bacche hi rahenge (we will always be a kid) So for all of you out there missing their moms and their words of wisdom, Mother With A Sign comes to your rescue.
Content creator Pranav Sapra created an Instagram profile for his mom Poonam Sapra and named it Mother With A Sign. And if you have even one social media account, you would know of the trend of holding a cardboard and saying things.
Dude With A Sign is the most famous one so far. This entire trend is considered to be really cool especially by the millennials and the Gen Z. Taking inspiration from that, Pranav Sapra created an Instagram profile for his mum. Through the account this mum holds placards giving desi mom advises. She basically sends out messages that most people hear routinely from their mothers.
The page now has 86.9k followers and this mother is loved by all her follower bachas!
Mother With A Sign initially just posted Desi Mom Advice that we all have grown up listening to and listen to even now. But as the page started growing, she started covering varied and trending topics with a desi mother’s reaction to that. She basically shows various shades of our own mothers. Here are some words of wisdom and shades of desi moms represented by her.
Something that we all hear every winters
Every other night
Gentle reminders
A Little Collaboration
Everyday every time!
Something on spending time with parents
Attac!
You must wonder why a mother holding signs and giving advice has become so famous? Like isn’t this a very common thing? Well, this ‘common thing’ is the very reason why Poonam Sapra is so popular. The relatability in her content is what connects with people.
Pranav Sapra in an interview with ScoopWhoop said ‘I was a rebel as a teenager and never listened to what my mom had to say. Now when I realise that it was all for my good, I thought of conveying this to others too. And no other platform could be better than Instagram. Kids generally do not listen to their parents in real life, but they might pay attention if their parents say the same things on Instagram.’
So if you are also hit by quarantine blues, I recommend you visit this page. Trust me after reading a post by this mom, you will miss your mum and her Desi Advice. Indeed this OG Instagram mom is not just a mom to Pranav Sapra but also to her 86.9k followers bachas!

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
Love cannot be imposed Stalkers speak of love, which in a few minutes turns deadly when they are rejected by the woman.
Trigger Warning: This speaks of stalking, violence against women, and murder by a stalker, and may be triggering to survivors.
Justice prevailed after 6 long years.
A ‘NO’ once said or said over a thousand times holds only the same meaning when uttered by a woman.
