Read this beautiful poem about planting desires and realizing them.
I stay rooted in my pot You put me in a spot
Oh human! I wait To be nurtured In your mind

“Anju, let us go to Masi’s place since you can drive now”-this was my mom encouraging me to drive. I had just learnt driving, was extremely scared of using the reverse gear but my mom was happy to go with me to her sister’s place which was 15 kms away just so that I gain confidence in driving.
This is but one example of how she did everything possible to encourage me and my sister.
