When we think of our childhood, we cherish the memories that made us who we are today. On a special day like this, we remember how our mothers helped us throughout our lives - whether it is moral support before a big day, coaching during exams, helping us crack that job interview or simply hugging us when we hit a rough patch.
A mom plays many roles from doting parent to strict disciplinarian to chef-at-large. She is our nurse when we are sick, chief nutritionist when we try to lose or gain weight, counsellor through all those ups and downs and our conscience keeper. It takes great strength and resolve to be a mother. If you have been nodding your head at some of the things we said about our moms, then you know your mom is a strong and wonderful person. If you are a strong mom yourself, kudos to you too!
Show us how you or your mom have been a source of strength. Send us an email with the words Meri Maa Strongest in the subject line and write what makes your mom a strong emotionally, physically or mentally. Write to health@corp.india.com and the best mom will win a prize. Make your mother a winner! Or, win it yourself!
You can also visit us on facebook to tag your mom if you think she is the strongest!
