It’s Mother’s Day and on this special occasion celebrities like Balraj Syal, Shivani Gossain and Maninee De talk about their mother and what they would like to give her on this day.
*Shivani Gosain*
If I could I would heal my mother’s health related issues (she is bravely fighting cancer from the past few years and healing with homeopathy and ayurveda) and make her super healthy and happy. I would like to take her to all the places in the world and party with her. No matter what, whenever I kept my head on her chest and hugged her I always felt peace and never wanted to leave. She has a magical warmth in her. Amongst all my childhood endless memories I miss that warmth, that peaceful sleep, and that hug when she is away. Even today when I hug and lay down with her I feel like a baby and don’t wanna outgrow her arms ever.

I lost my mom in 2016 and with her a part of me went away. If she were there, I would take my mom to an opera or a play on Broadway as she was a keen theater aficionado and a novelist herself. My fondest memory with her was when we watched films and plays together, discussed books and characters. She introduced me to Urdu, Hindi and English poetry at a very young age. Our chats, my curious questions, and our discussions regarding historical figures and political developments around the world were also fascinating.

If I could give my mom anything this mother’s day, I would give her life as she is not here with me anymore. I don’t have many memories with my mom as she left us very soon. I feel mother’s day is not just about posting pictures with your mom and putting hashtags and stories. We should make our mother feel that we are always there for her.
