Concept

Mother's Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. This day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year and is an occasion to show your affection, respect and care towards your mother.

In the spirit of celebrating Mother’s day, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India is organizing a Contest inviting stories about mothers. The Contest shall commence from 8th May, 2016 for a month long duration, ending on 6th June, 2016.

The concept of this campaign is to promote the idea of children sharing anecdotes/ stories about their mother who has defied gender stereotypes, raised her voice against gender discrimination and championed the cause of gender equality and empowerment. This story should have left a long lasting impact and consequently led to a change in the mindset of her family and/or the community at large. The premise is based on the fact that relationship with mother is one of the closest and may be a strong influencer in shaping behaviours and attitudes of her children. A mother is also a source of inspiration and a role model for her children. When an anecdote/story is narrated about a mother, it can be used as a catalyst to bring about a positive change in societal mindset. This may further lead to a more gender sensitive society which recognizes the contributions of a mother, in particular and women, in general.

The objective of the contest is to engage with larger audience through sharing of stories about mothers, thereby encouraging inter-generational dialogue, sensitizing men and boys, being a role model for an empowered daughter. This also creates an opportunity for open conversations against gender discrimination, inequality and dis-empowerment, which in turn leads to a positive mindset change in the society.

Some of the suggested themes are gender equality and empowerment, gender discrimination, sexual harassment, domestic violence, social evils like dowry and early marriage and so on.

Millions of memories flashed through my mind when I read the caption Suno Maa Ki Kahaani. The word MOTHER is too small to say what immense pressure this name bears. From giving birth to nurturing to sleepless nights to educating and instilling values to serving sumptuous meal with flavours of love and care to running hither and thiter to recover us frm sicknes This struggle never ends for mother whether she is a home maker or a professional. Salute to all the suppressed and unheard voices....

माँ

रास्तो की दूरियाँ
फिर भी तुम हरदम पास

जब भी
मै कभी हुई उदास

न जाने कैसे?
समझे तुमने मेरे जजबात

करवाया
हर पल अपना अहसास

और
याद हर वो बात दिलाई

जब
मुझे दी थी घर से विदाई

तेरा
हर शब्द गूँजता है
कानो मे सन्गीत बनकर

जब हुई
जरा सी भी दुविधा
दिया साथ तुमने मीत बनकर

दुनिया
तो बहुत देखी
पर तुम जैसा कोई न देखा

तुम
माँ हो मेरी
कितनी अच्छी मेरी भाग्य-रेखा

पर
तरस गई हूँ

तेरी
उँगलिओ के स्पर्श को
जो चलती थी मेरे बालो मे

तेरा
वो चुम्बन
जो अकसर करती थी
तुम मेरे गालो पे

My mother is no more but her memories are there with me forever. Her wisdom, dignity, selflessness and unconditional love remind me how fortunate I am to have her as my mother. She raised all her 8 children, 6 of them are daughters (one daughter being 80% disabled) with love, care and dignity. My mother lost her own mother at an age of 12 and was married at 13. Devoted all her life to the family. Despite many bitter experiences, she remained a child at heart till her death.

2 din pehle ki baat hai mujhe bahut tej fever ho gya. Meri maa bahut pareshan ho gyi maa jalde se padosh me gyi aur wahan se fever ki medicine lekar aayi. Maa ne mujhe khana khilaya aur mujhe medicine dekar sula diya. sara kam pura karke Maa bhi aaram karne ke liye meri paas so gyi. par kehte hain na bache ko bimar dekhkar to maa ki neend to waise he ud jati hai. Maa sone ki bajaye har 5 minute baad mujhe touch karke dekhti mera fever kam hua ya nhi.Maa ek anmol tohfa hai god ka. i love u maa.

My mother had completed her pre-med and would perhaps have become a doctor if she had not been married soon after she turned 18 years old. She is extremely intelligent, street-smart, and aware, and has great social skills. As a mother, she took care of her three daughters and one son, giving equal attention to all four of us. Though it was never outwardly stated, I do believe that she felt it in the looks that came her way when she had three daughters. I am sure she felt vindicated in some way w
