An Ode to The Motherhood

They got down from the train.Three of them.Since last three hours I have been sitting in the station with a lot of anxiety to see my parents getting down safely on the station.It was their first time of coming out of my state.So I was worried a little bit.After little time there they were. Uncle, mother & father with his typical specs which had slid down a little bit to the tip of his nose.That radiant smile of mother was still there even if we both have come a long way since my early childhood time when I was in a boarding school. I clearly remember the same smile, same radiance that she displayed whenever she saw me.Not a single hardship of life had touched her smile till now,though the hairs on the head have become white symbolising the passage of time.As I reached for her feet to get those long awaited blessings she hugged me.That same warmth, same love,same secured feeling. The kid inside me was getting pampered.And my eyes were getting wet.
