My aaji (grandmother) is my aai (mother). She means the world to me. Whatever I am today is because of the way she has brought me up. I owe every bit of my success and happiness to her. I plan to celebrate Mother’s Day by spending time with her and doing things that make her happy. She’s always complaining that I don’t wash my hands before I eat, or how my jeans are always torn, or how I don’t cut my hair.
So today, I will wear regular jeans, a nice crisp white shirt and be a good, obedient grandson. She cooks for me and no chef in the world can cook as well as she can! But on Mother’s Day, I want her to relax and I want to cook for her instead! I know I can never be as good as her, but I will definitely attempt it. My mother is with me through the work she’s done and her images. My grandma never let me feel alone while growing up. I respect and admire her for being my pillar of support through the years.”
