Writing is an art. But writing a letter to mother with feelings from the core of heart is something special.
We speak and write for others otherwise there is no necessity to speak or write. There is sometime a memorable “World of Words” created with the spontaneous thoughts, that too from a daughter, who has become a victim of the circumstances.
Daughters are like music in the houses. When she speaks, speaks without a break and everyone says, ‘chup bhi kar jao’ – Please stop speaking now. When she is silent, mother says, ‘tabiyat theek hai na’- Are you alright? Father says, ‘aaj ghar mein khamoshi kyon hai’ – Why there is a silence in the house? Bhai says, ‘naraz ho kya’ – Are you angry? And she is married, all says, ‘aisa lagta hai, isghar ki raunak hi chali gai’- It looks as if the ronak of this house has gone? She is real non-stop music.
Here is a cute letter from a newly married girl to her loving mother….

Dear Mom,

Like every normal girl, I was excited about marriage right from my childhood days. I never thought beyond the time that I would spend happily with my prince charming.

But, today when I am married, I realize that marriage is not all bed of roses. It’s not just about being with your beloved and having a gala time. There is so much more to it. It comes with its own share of responsibilities, duties, sacrifices and compromises. To say few of them…..

I can’t wake up anytime I want to.
I am expected to be up and ready before everyone else in the family.
I can’t laze around in my ‘pyjamas’ in casual dress throughout the day.
I am expected to be presentable every time.
I can’t just go out anytime I want to.
I am expected to be sensitive to the needs of the family.
I just can’t hit the bed anytime I want to.
I am expected to be active and around the family.
I can’t expect to be treated like a princess but am supposed to take care of everyone else in the family.

And then I think to myself, ‘why did I get married at all?’ I was happier with you, mom. Sometimes I think of coming back to you and getting pampered again.

I want to come home to my favourite food cooked by you every evening after a nice outing with friends. I want to sleep on your laps like I have no worry in this world. But then I suddenly realize, had you not got married and made such sacrifices in your life, I wouldn’t have had so many wonderful memories to hang on to. And suddenly, the purpose of all this becomes clear- to return the same comfort, peace and happiness to my new family that I got from you.

And I am sure that as time would pass, I would start loving this life equally as you do.
Thank you mom for all the sacrifices and compromises you made. They give me the strength to do the same. Love you Mom.
