As the year 2016 is almost coming to an end, ask yourself what are your aspirations for 2017. What do you hope to achieve, what would your goals be, how big would you want to dream. Don't forget the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Start 2017 with a positive attitude. Tell yourself 'there is only one rule, i will never lose'. Let us also be our brothers and sisters keeper. If you have the power to make somebody happy, please do it. The world needs more of that. Also remember that helping at least one person might not change the whole world, but it would change the world for that person.
Remember to be creative and original. Learn self control. if you learn self control, you can master absolutely anything. Be happy and contented with what you have, because its not how much you have, but how much we enjoy that makes happiness. See you on the other side and happy new year to you.

This post is dedicated to all the mothers out there who have played and is still playing a vital and significant role in the upbringing of their children. Needless to ask who plays the biggest role in a child’s development. it's the ‘Mother’ of course.
We are however reflecting on the mother's role and its importance in a child’s life. A mother is like the nucleus around whom everyone else orbits in a family. A mother provides the required structure and balance to the household. She is the one person who ensures that life functions in an orderly way, right from breakfast, lunch, dinner being served at the table, to clothes being ironed and kept in the cupboard, to the kitchen always being stocked up with food, the beds perfectly made, the list is endless!
However, more importantly, a mother brings balance to the family, mentally and emotionally. She is, more often than not the official role model, caretaker, administrator of hugs and kisses! She switches effortlessly from being a disciplinarian to a friend in a matter of minutes. A mom is the person with the solution to any problem and would help one easily forget or overcome an issue.
Needless to say, she plays a pivotal role in what a child becomes tomorrow. A mother is the one person who is responsible for a child’s wholesome development and takes charge of it. She is the one who ensures, that the child gets ample nutrition, activity, opportunity and rest. She is the one person, who a child looks out for, in order to feel secure, loved and happy, right from the time of his/her birth. And that invisible umbilical cord continues long after the physical one has been cut off!
Clearly, a mother’ journey is perhaps one of the toughest. A famous quote, “A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie” reminds one of her abundant generosity and kindness.
Having said all that, it is not only required but mandatory that all mothers be remembered, celebrated and be told how special they are. To you mummy, thank you for being ‘my friend and my strength’.
