The purest form of love is plenty, yet if there were ever a race to the finish line, especially for pristine and tranquillity, it would be those maternal instincts which come across as a mother's love for her children and those she holds dear to her. 



A mother's love, displayed at times through strictness and mostly through careful caressing of hair or a guffawing pull of the cheeks, a mother's love for her dearest cannot be expressed in words, yet defines everything that anyone needs. 


When the chips are down and we feel the world is against us, a mother's love and strong instincts lift us up and make us realize how much the world means to us. 


A piping hot meal of dal, rice and sauteed potatoes, fed by mother dearest - that's priceless! 



A simple gesture of two bottles of mango pickle and special savouries packed in our suitcase without our notice - that's priceless! 


Her sense of you visiting home or a known place and waiting for you to appear/call her, and knowing that you will - that's priceless! 


Her blessings whenever you visit a place of worship and a flower or special offering appears in your palms - Hail the Mother's presence - it's priceless! 


Her palms on your head when you bow to touch her feet, and that warm embrace she gives you - it's priceless! 


Her high-pitched laughter and beaming smiles when you travel with her or watch a movie together; the happiness that accompanies this - it's priceless! 



Whether you have experienced maternal instincts from your mother, aunt, grandmother, or female relatives or even had mother-like figures in your lives, remember that a Mother's love must be respected and acknowledged at all times. 


Motherly love; blessed to experience it, and focused towards sharing warmth with those who need it. Peace, prosperity, and harmony to one and all, with the blessings and continuous showers of love from a divine figure in our lives; Amma, Mother, Maa, Mommy, Maata!

A Love Letter - By Riddhima Sen

  A mother’s love is unconditional in nature. Only a mother can love her child unconditionally. Whenever the world poses a threat, big or small, a mother shields her child from all troubles, regardless of her own safety and life. Mother’s Day is celebrated worldwide on 10th May. The day aims to focus on the feminine power of motherhood. For some, motherhood may refer to a mere physical phase and a social norm, for others, it becomes their entire purpose of existence. I would like to dedicate this writeup to my mother, Jayita Sen.  My mom sacrificed her bright career ahead just in order to raise me. She was offered a post at Asiatic Society, yet declined it. In a world which denied to see my existence, ruffling through tattered painting and tattered pages filled with poems, she believed in me. Her unwavering faith in my literary talent actually helped me to kickstart my career (Whatever it is) in grade eleven. Even though she was a bit strict initially, she truly does love me. ...

Let's Uncomplicate Life!

By Abhishek Haridasan The Infotainment Coloumn  A partition in your life is needed! And this time, there won't be any remorse! It'll uncomplicate your life and keep your sanity in check. Let's disassociate our personal lives from the life we witness on the 70 mm screen and reels.  Cinema and Life Scope: Millions of us believe that cinema is a reflection of the lives we lead. There is some truth to it, but it is largely a narrative created to sell cinema tickets and fill up cinema halls. While cinema can portray characters within a storyline, it also provides a chance to see how idealism can define our lives. Yet, it's important to demarcate the lines between truth and fiction.  What's Real?: You, your people and the idiosyncrasies you witness. That's the truth. The crests and troughs that we witness across months and years of our lives are the real truth. The flaring egos and our pursuits of spiritual leanings are the whole and sole truth. If we can clearly se...
