The being and feelings of motherhood !
There is something so awesome and precious about being a mother. I've seen many of my hyper, adamant and really impatient friends become such caring, compassionate and gentle mom's today. Am seriously surprised !! It's all due to the great and marvelous plan laid down for every woman by our great Creator God. ( At the same time ... a woman is all complete yes 100% without a husband or a child if that's God's will for her life. )Motherhood brings with it slight nervousness, positive fear and much of a change......... BTW, i know that you all are just about to laugh out loudly because of the 'status quo' of this writer ;)
Anyways, can't i write my experience about the feelings of motherhood in a single girl !! WOW !! Sounds a very unique and exciting article, hardly ever written down by any girl.
So a child remains attached to her/his mom for 9-10 months and on one final day he/she has to be 'cut off' from her. It's wonderful that while many other things change in a child as he grows up like his milk tooth gets replaced, his skin colour too changes and his height, weight, etc etc...yet a man continues to bear this mark of 'attachment' with his mom until his death..Any guesses? Yes...his NAVEL !!
I have a wonderful neighbour family and today as i was sipping my tea seated on my green mat ( the day i had written it in my diary), i found this young toddler nearly 1 1/2 years of age enter into my room!! How bold to enter in without my permission or even a single knock!! ;) I never used to do such a thing yet this time i lifted him up and cuddled him. He was silent and i felt overwhelmed! His grandmother came looking for him and by then i had moved out of my room. Till this time, he seemed to be quite comfortable in my arms. He saw his grandmom and i asked to wave a 'tata' to her and he did it!! Yes, he did it !! I brought him back into the house. By then Aunty came running after me and asked me to ' Give IT away ', his grand-mom is waiting. !!
I laughed and exclaimed
"Give IT away" ? Aunty laughed along with me...we repeated...Give him away !!
Truly remember those childhood days wherein we would play mother-mother, though i would never really cherish such games. We would wrap our dolls in a shawl and we would be their mothers. We would spoon feed those dolls and while pouring water into their mouth, the same water would flow out elsewhere and we would shout - diapers please..!! Hilarious...!!
And yes...i gave him away...though i really cherished having him in my arms. I now understand, God has definitely knitted 'this' motherly affection within every woman. Ahh..sounds emotional !!!
At the same time...i do not explicit this emotion in public. All i do is make faces...when a child comes running towards me, i make him terrified by some funny facial expression - either shrink my face or blow my cheeks...whichever seems fitting for the occasion ;) and on seeing me..poor child runs away from me - weeping and shrieking. Immediately i would get back to normal and those mother's would ask their children ...... 'Yen..inna ayidhchi?' ( why what has happened? ) Ha ha ha !!
The mischievous me !!
Yes, and about games ... I do remember another game..'wedding-wedding' and sadly i would be the pathetic bride and the target of all facial decorations - designs on my forehead. My dear sisters yes..Boinu and Mercy along with their friends would experiment all that they could on my face - lipstick, watercolour, garlands and what not !! Oh poor me !! This is called ' Sister Abuse'. ;)
Recently my neighbour friend reminded me about that...

Is there anything you desire which is not sinful ? You can pray this prayer along with me...
" Father You have created me, these desire within me, Isn't it You Father, who has placed that within me? Father - i do not wish to gratify my self with the things of this world - there shouldn't be any kind of a void within me, because You are all sufficient for me. es, You are all sufficient for me.
Come let's make a deal Father..Jesus had promised that to me... I will take His yoke upon myself for He is meek and I would find rest for my soul thereby!
At the same time, please take away my burdens ... It is heavy and it's crushing me and i don't think anyone can truly understand me as You do ! So here it is..Seal the deal Father!
Do keep Your promise as You always do!
In Jesus' name i ask this prayer...Amen So be it

Many years ago Amreetha had shared something that her relative had told her - a bit of an advice to all mom's. " When you become a mother, please do not forget that you have a husband too!! Just keep this thing in your mind that from NOW onwards - you have two sons to care for !!" Wonderful advice !!
And so after a few years, after Amreetha had her first child Sahana, a true blessing, i happened to see lots of solo pics of Sahana in Amreetha's profile pic and it was then i used the very same advice and reminded her - " Amreetha don't forget that you have another son to care for !!" She smiled !!
And just FYI i'm an active Opposer of abortion, and i do speak quiet strongly against it whenever i get an opportunity to. Also....as of me...God willing i wish to have 4 kids of my own ( stamped, addressed and posted ;) )
