#MadeOfGreat
This post is for the woman whom I have known since birth, or even for another nine more months than anyone else, because i have resided there, in her womb. Not that I write this post in her praise, the reason for her awesomeness are too aloud to be heard in the most deprived and poor sections of the locality.
There were not much monetary grants with her initially in the initial days after her marriage. As her conversations with me say that all the expenses were born by the male partners, none was left to them. And, merely being as a home-maker, she hardly any expenses at her disposal. But she was determined for bringing a change in the families and the societies to best of her efforts.
Charity begins at home. And there she took her first initiative of educating the two daughters of the maid that worked at our home. Today, I am younger to those two girls, and now that they are happily married,every time they visit the town, they come and have a word with mummy and express their gratitude on how she came as a God to their escape from their alcoholic father and bore the expenses of their education.
And when she started bearing the expenses of the maid's girls' education, initially managing from the money she received from rituals and ceremonies, there were several other maids ready to work at the place. She didn't understand it initially, but later on she heard from sources about her educating the girls. That was day, she decided to give herself more to the cause of education.
For meeting the cause of charity, she started stitching clothes, and preparing handmade items, etc through which she earned and donated the amount she would make from those things. The number started increasing with the passing of time. She also taught poor girls the art of stitching and crafting so that they can earn and also learn to meet their expenses and become self-dependent.
Now when I question her on how my mother managed those expenses, her answers are like - "It was God who made them available.", "I want all girls to be educated and have a respectful status in the society", "Education is a powerful tool to free oneself from the shackles of poverty", and her several such one liners.
I am proud today, that I some how manage to save some time and money to donate for this noble cause of education. She has taught me to be courageous, charitable and brought me up with the best of education and other facilities. She tries to manage her time and give her best shot to whatever she can to uplift the weaker sections.
For me, it is not easy to be you, but I will definitely try!!

ReplyDeleteWith TATA Motors giving the best to the world, their association with Lionel Messi stands the best. Also, the thrill that the game of soccer holds is comparable par excellence with that of TATA Motors.

ReplyDeleteMy answer: Tata is a name which any and every person can rely on for its honesty, commitment and perseverance. Lionel Messi is a legend who has carved his name in history books with total dedication to the game, simple living and improvisation which is seen with each game he plays. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors solely because the brand Ambassador also holds the same reputation of not letting his fans down ever, like Tata Motors who have given the best to the world over the decades. Its an exemplary association par excellence.

Lovely ode to your Mother, Anshika.
ReplyDeleteYour mother is a personification of Simplicity In Greatness.
As for the expression of views towards the question, I would like to answer through a stanza or two of verse:
---
'What drives us from within is what makes us great'
Belief in oneself, the zeal to put up a brave face,
In the face of adversity, to stand strong against fate,
That's how life is - it's an excellent goal to chase!
To create a name for oneself, from the soil your feet dampen,
To let critics enhance your effort, not let your spirits dampen,
It's the journey that counts, more than having scaled the peak,
To persevere so that it's your actions that have the loudest shriek!
---
To sum up, I feel that this age-old adage rings true whenever I think of this beautiful alliance of an Indian Global Brand - Tata Motors and a Global Argentinian Sportsperson - Lionel Messi
"Our Similarities bring us to a common ground; Our Differences allow us to be fascinated"
That realization is truly #madeofgreat. :)

There qualities make both TATA Motors and Lionel Messi giants who perfectly compliment each other and Lionel Messi the right and perfect Ambassador who stands for the same values that TATA Motors does.

Hi, You have written a beautiful post. A mother is the greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then a mother is that sweet flower of love. A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them. All the best.

TATA MOTORS & LIONEL MESSI are two perfect examples of greatness.
Tata is a brand known for honesty, commitment and perseverance. They have been a part of so many charitable trust. Lionel Messi on the other hand is an exceptionally great player with his natural technique and creative skills. Facing all the hardships on their journey, both of them has emerged to a great success. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors. Also TATA will find it easier to connect with the youth as the company is focusing on more youth-centric products globally.
They are two sides of one coin. Perfect combination for a great success.
