There's this things about mothers. 20 years of careful observation has had me believe that the maternal instinct is so strong, its almost capable of telekinesis! Just yesterday i remembered to shut the back door, even without my mom having told me to. Coax, cajole... this is maternal instinct. Freakishly, though I just got up, even now my thoughts are on "Oh boy, how'll I manage to talk on the phone when I get back home?" or "Sumanth, why haven't you finished up breakfast?"

But we all love our moms. At least i love mine :). The ever-sacrificing, ever-watchful, ever-ready race of motherhood is never out of vogue. The goddess beyond all religions. The person who personifies 'Mother' in 'Motherland'. The person who cries when she's sad, and cries harder when she's happy.
