So, after all the jazz of Mother’s Day is over, I realized we do not really think about them. Thanks to the special day dedicated to mothers we paused to think about the most important person of our lives to talk about. Otherwise, who thinks about mothers? They are there, we know! And they will always be there to deal with us.

We, in our 20s, are all about messy buns and messier lives! Mistakes after mistakes, consequences after consequences… we chose to live lives on our own terms. We are a vulnerable lot. But what mothers do? They worry! Probably because, they do not understand why do we always choose the difficult path. Their life was not that complicated. Career, job, relationship… they opted for a simple life. They chose stability. But we, being the adventure lovers, love to experiment with life. We are not scared of consequences. Though we fail several times, we are experts at pulling ourselves right back to the path taking the complete responsibility of our mistakes.

The mothers and daughters of this generation have their own battles to fight. Mothers fear change. Helplessly they wish us to stop committing mistakes. They can’t see us suffering and we can’t show them our suffering. There we fight. They oppose, we defend. And we get tired of saying, nothing has happened, we’re fine, don’t worry! But they know it all. This generation gap will always be there but the truth is we will always get caught by them.

No matter how tactfully we manage to suppress our pains, they will find out and ask, ‘Tell me, what happened?’ In our 40-s, may be in different ways and expressions, this same question would be asked. The worries are eternal motherly things.
