Ok, so I looked and looked and could not find a single picture of me in my Mother's arms and what I found was of all my siblings in hers:). Ten years back that would've have led to menial thoughts of no wonder I always felt least loved etc., but all that was before I became a Mom myself. Cut to date - it seems impossible that a Mom does not love her baby despite all the odd mood swings, temper tempests, misgivings and bad moorings of a day:). It is perhaps differently expressed with different kids as also each being of different disposition.
Also a thought goes out to my dear Dad who many a time was intuitively motherly in his instincts and treatment towards us - after all Mother's Day is also as much about the feeling of motherly love and affection towards whosoever we wish to bestow it on!
So here's to my Mom and to my Dad who many-a-time loved me with as much (at times a bit more) motherly instinct and affection:

with Sumita my eldest

| The two of us Gautam my bro & me who have no visual proof of being held like the others ;) |
Happy Mother's Day you all.
