THE CATALYST --- AN IMMORTAL SOUL

DEAR READERS,

We all face variety of problems in our lives starting from a small wound to all grades of family and professional issues. But, what makes us different and unusual is the ability to fight back and rise.
We have this fighting spirit in our genes inherited from our parents.
But that spark especially comes from the female parent.
Yes, that is how "A Mother" is described in the dictionary. 
The dictionary is such a dunce and yet we follow to find out the explications. 

While growing up we never realised her importance. She backed us every moment for all our mistakes, saving us from our fathers from getting penalized. But, have we all justified her role in our lives ??

He walked past all the streets and reached near the beach. He looked here and there searching for his friend who has constantly supported him in all his endeavors. His eyes glittered as he spotted him and paced towards the beach. " Where were you ? I searched you everywhere and why are you sitting here ?", he asked.
"It feels so soothing and I feel I can connect all dots that create complications in my life." , his friend said. 

"By the way, what happened ? Why were you searching me ? Again some problem popped up or what ?", the friend asked curiously.
"Yes, my mother. I can't handle her anymore. She is now a pain that I cannot get rid off easily. So, planning to send her to an old age home and I will shift from here to somewhere else.", he said.
"Perfect decision man, go on but before that can we talk about her a little bit ? ", the friend asked. "Ya, sure.", he said unwillingly.



"OK, then tell me, did her role as wife troubled your father?"
"No never because my father loved her so much. I remember, papa used to take her for a walk every night after dinner for at least half an hour. While coming back, i would always notice that the tiredness from her face is gone and she used to smile and go to sleep. They shared a great bond and loved each other a lot.", he said. " Oh, I see. But, you don't worry. You are correct.Your father was unable to figure her out her reality.", his friend said and continued his further question.



"What about her role as a daughter and daughter-in-law?"
"Don't ask me dude. Whenever we used to go to meet my grandma, she used to take a sigh of relief because mom used to handle each and everything starting from making breakfast to all small things. My aunts used to work together and enjoy each other's company.
She used to go to her native for 1-2 days. The scenario would be the same there also.", he said.
"These are all nonsense stuffs. How she can be so good if she is such a ridiculous mother, right? Don't even say this to anyone. They will laugh and I will definitely not ask about her role as a sister.", his friend said. His friend's words was making him embarrassed. He started thinking about his answers to the couple of questions he has asked.



His friend stood up from his place and dragged him to the shore.
He laughed at his dumb face and said,

"She saw you opening your eyes while others waited for your glance. She would have smiled because she got a purpose to live seeing you in the cradle. She heard your first cry and laugh and would have thought once that you will be there to listen to her last cry and last laugh.



Her fingers made you walk when you used to fall and her drape used to wipe your face, be it your sweat or your tears. She used t feed you before you knew the spelling of spoon and the same hands used to slap you on your wrong doings. She cried when you failed and smiled when you succeeded, from morning tea to night milk all was because of her.

Without even thinking, you left her for so called studies. She never stopped you but waited for your one glance keeping the doors open. Her eyes waited for only one person who is far off and is yet to come. Your marriage changed your life but she never changed, just her love increased exponentially.

You have only one job to do, keep her near to you,
so that she can laugh and cry with you and your family.
She has played all her roles, then why to stop her from being a perfect grandma and a perfect mother-in-law ?

One day, you will miss her food, her touch and her smile.
Without saying that, you will witness it inside you, in your heart.



I am an orphan, I don't know much about this. But, I always searched for it. You are a lucky man, don't waste it."
his friend said and started walking away. 

He stood there seeing the setting sun and deploring his decision.
His life freezed as he couldn't speak anything. His friend told him a lot of things by just putting a smile on his face and making him realize how jerk he is.  

Just then his friend remembered something, turning around he said,

" Keep it in my mind my friend, whenever you boast about yourself and say something wrong about her, just recall

"SHE IS NOT BECAUSE OF YOU,
YOU ARE IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE OF HER."

SHE IS THE CATALYST OF YOUR LIFE.
