Hey everyone,
I am participating in the Tanishq bloggers contest where you
have to write about a woman who is as beautiful as her work. You can see the latest MIA ad by Tanishq here. More on the range at http://mia.tanishq.co.in/
When I come to think about it there is only one person that
sticks out most prominently in my mind and that would be my mother who has
always been an inspiration and a guide in my life.
Before I begin, I d like to state that every woman is
beautiful in her own work, be it a simple homemaker who gives so much of her
effort and energy to change a house into a home, or be it a working woman who
is constantly giving efforts to achieve goals and contribute to her nation.
But let us start with the woman in my life who is as
beautiful as her work. First let me start off with telling you a little bit
about her. She is a homemaker turned
into a successful business woman. She overtook the family business when my
father passed away 6 years ago, ever since she has been doing multitasking
handling the household as well as the business.
Smart, confident and a very successful entrepreneur she is as beautiful
as her work.
Her skills actually amaze me at times, the way she so
efficiently finishes all the daily chores and then goes and handles the
business. I am working too but I get so tired after a day at work that I hate
doing the household chores, I wonder where she gets so much of energy from,
shes more than double my age ^_^ And I have never heard her ever complain on
how much she had to do for us or on how much work she has to do every day again
and again.
And let me tell you, shes not geeky at all, she loves to
dress up and wear lovely jewelry. She
loves diamonds, rubies and emeralds and loves to wear complementary colors with
her outfits. That is also one of the main reasons she was the woman that came
in my mind when I saw the MIA by Tanishq ad. I believe every woman should wear jewelry,
after all its made for us ;-)
Incredibly strong and willing to stand up for her rights
makes her every bit more beautiful. I have
seen her fight in the most graceful way for what is hers and never give up on
what she deserves. I wish I can have
some of that will power and strength so that I know well how to stand up for
what I deserve.
As a mother she has always made sure that my sister and I
always got the best education, the best facilities and even now after we are
both grown up she has never said no to anything that we have ever wanted and
has always made sure that we got all that we needed and that we never felt that
something in life is missing. She is at this time fulfilling the role of both a
father and a mother and has never let us feel that we are missing a parent. I love
the childish expression on her face when she is excited and when she gets
something she really likes. It makes my day and makes me want to do so much
more for her to see that lovely cute expression.
All in all my mother is as beautiful as her work be it in whatever
field, it can be business, household, teaching or anything else. She is the
guiding light in my life and I wish that one day God makes me capable enough to
be atleast half as good as she is, so that someday I have someone write about
me in ‘As beautiful as her work’. She is the perfect MIA.
Here is a small poem I wrote for her which in a few lines
tells so much about her:-
I
ll tell you about my mom,
A
lady who mostly remains calm.
Shes
very sweet,caring and funny,
Her
love makes my every day so bright and sunny.
She
is very pretty, beyond a doubt,
A
woman i ll tell you all about.
She
has faced a lot in her life,
But
bravely she overcame every strife.
She
is very strong,
And
i am so proud that she is my mom.
I
want to give her lots, even her birthday is drawing near,
One
things i want is to never give her tears.
I
want to make her happy, give her everything,
Just
like shes always given to every being.
She
always tries to give us love even on dad's behalf,
But
secretly i know that she misses him even more than us.
She
is a really good actor, can imitate almost every one,
She
makes every day truly very fun.
She
becomes very angry when her suits dont fit,
At
times i think one of the tailors might take a hit!
She
takes care of our dogs and loves them a lot,
Even
though she scolds me for not letting them be properly taught.
Happiness
is what i wish for her forever and ever.
A
life full of love, but sadness never.
<3
Love
you mommy!
