It is her 'birth'day too...


India has one of the highest maternal mortality rate.
From ancient times, before we had the medical procedure of C - section, labour was only a natural process left into the hands of Gods and mid-wifes.The cry of the baby brings joy which would remain only if the mother survives the ordeal for the next few hours or even days. But many mothers have literally given life to the new life as they lose theirs in the process.
In India especially becoming a mother was always considered as rebirth for the woman and womanhood. I know my mother was born again twice. 
So this birthday I realise it is her birthday too. Also, exclusively my 'Apna' Mother's day.
Mom, I love you and Happy Birthday to you!!!
