Ask a little girl what does she wish to become when she grows up and she will give various answers.
She has dreams. We clap our hands
When she grows up, she wants to be an independent working woman.
She has dreams. We clap our hands.
And, then she becomes a mother.
They say…
Dream, if you have to
Dream for your children
Sacrifice your dreams
You are a mother
They say…
Aspire, if you have to
Aspire for your children
Give up on your aspirations
You are a mother
They say…
Devote your fullest
Live for your children
Devotion is your virtue
You are a mother I tell myself…
A few courses I may have changed
Adjustments I may have made
Yet
I cannot cease to dream
I cannot cease to aspire
Dreams are what i am
Aspire I will continue to
I am more than a mother.

HI Anamika, I am sure that you have more to say.. “I am more than a Mother” is so powerful a line. Do not stop dreaming. Continue to dream and aspire to achieve those dreams..Live those dreams.. which is we as readers are eagerly waiting to see how you live it.

My dreams are not very big. They are about small things. For example about continuing to find time for my own reading. I have been told to abort this hobby until the time Dhruv grows up because this would interfere in my devoting full energies in raising him. Such a thing does not make me happy but surely makes me more determined.

So true. Motherhood takes up such a short span of a woman’s full life. Before you know it, you’ll be seventy–like me. I dream by writing novels. 😉
