Mothers' Day Tribute
Many modern girls are of the opinion that by marrying they are doing a favor for men. But they better know that they are favoring themselves also by marrying. Today is mothers' day. I see many adoring, admiring, affectionate postings commending mother's role and her importance in our lives.
Yes, woman sacrifices many personal ambitions by being mother. Only that sacrifice makes her great. Lip sympathies about greatness of mother are of no use unless most girls become mothers themselves and take the responsibility of whole family as done by their mothers. Else mother remains a biological entity unless she rains love and affection on her near and dear.

Thinking that marriage only benefits men is innocence and ignorance.
Offspring belongs to woman as to man and they are her children too. And
by taking care of them she is doing her duty as any other mother-animal.
Infants and aged were taken care of by mothers in families. Thus they have been little Mother Theresas to their respective families. This culture is now giving place to woman being a member of the family rather than the member of the family.
Many self-proclaimed intellectuals and NGOs are defining the role of woman as entirely different. They want woman to be "directly" useful to the society by being herself in fulfilling her ambitions and not wasting her talents by being a mere housewife getting confined to home.
They are all professing that woman loses her identity by being a mere housewife and that is not acceptable to them. Who are they to accept or not? No one is questioning these "intruders" for their irresponsible suggestions in the guise of women's liberation.
The girls must be the deciding individuals about their lives, and how they should live. In case they feel marriage and motherhood are preventing them from being what they are and what they want to become and be, they can take their own decisions to free themselves from the routine and burden of being a mere housewife. Then, they praising motherhood does not sound convincing. Let the girls, their parents and their well wishers discuss and help girls in choosing their life course and style.
The best tribute to motherhood a young girl can pay is she herself becoming such a sweet,
responsible lovely mother. Else tributes being paid to mothers on mothers' day remain a mere rhetoric and the spirit of motherhood they praise sounds halo when such girls adore and admire mother and motherhood with their lip sympathy utterances and shares on social networking sites. Let all involved contemplate seriously and deeply. And let not fake intellectuals and NGOs who do not have any stake in a girl's life by not being her near and dear have any say in the girl's life matter and issue.
