Selfless to self-centered motherhood

During Diwali break in Jamshedpur, I was just relaxing without being bothered about what to cook for breakfast, lunch or dinner and nor kids were crying for what to eat, as my mother-in-law was cooking every now and then. Just then a thought flashed in my mind which bothered me so much that I got inspired to write a blog on it.It was the selfless nature of mother which was purely dedicated in nurturing her children and grand children without realizing the pain and ailments of old age. India is always known to be a country where selfless love of mother nurture child’s personality. Immense love and dedication of the lady towards her family leads to strong family bonds and due to this selflessness and total dedication India got tough men and women like Maharana Pratap,Bhagat Singh,Laxmi bai and many more. Identity of the lady used to lie in her family. Apart from giving good and nutritious handmade food, she used to give proper sanskars to her children also. Few lines from a poem which shows the true picture of selfless mother…..
 Wo aasha hai, wo abhilasaha..
parivartan ki wo paribhasha..
 wo janani, wo shramkarni..
 manav jiski kokh se janma..
 yeh wo janani hai, wo janani hai...

 Jiske parivesh me manav ne rachi..
 apne astitva ki paribhasha.
.. yeh wo pustak, wo patri hai..
 jiske prishton par manav ne ki
 apni kriti ankit hai... 
 yah wo janani hai, wo janani hai..

 As India is progressing circumstances have changed drastically the role of the lady in India. Her fight for identity (which now restricted to her own self),multi-tasking to insure each and every thing right, changing from joint to nuclear families…changed their nature of love towards their families. Children suffer with many problems as nutritious food is replaced by junk food.Children are becoming prone to many mental ailments as anxiety,depression,stress etc. Dedication is replaced by frustration and leads the lady and her families to nowhere…….
