We all
have somebody or the other who might have touched our lives at some point or
the time. Some inspire us to keep it going others make us believe in our true selves.
This women’s day we asked some of our plug Pros to share the reasons for the
smiles they carry every day. One’s who added value to their lives and left an
impact for them to pass on to the future generations.
My
Mom, greatness personified.
My Life has been a journey, and a lot of
people have influenced it in some aspects or the other, my family, my friends
and my teachers, but the one woman that has given meaning to my life and shown
me how to live and face this world is My MOM.
No doubt moms are very special for
everyone...but what my mom has done is truly outstanding. She is my pillar of
strength, full of love and compassion.
Being a single parent life was never a cake
walk for her, she struggled hard as teacher to provide the best of education
and life to me. She provided not only basics but also the Luxuries of life to
me. As a teacher she has mentored many lives apart from mine. Forgiveness is at
the core of her heart and one look at her calm, serene and smiling face melts
way all kinds of anxiety and anger.
No matter what the situation, she has
disciplined me to be calm and always stick to the truth (Which we are tempted
to conveniently let go).Today at the age of 60, she is still teaching and
changing lives. She is my mentor, my source of inspiration, temple of Love and
i never have to look elsewhere for any kind of advise. Whether personal or professional,
what she will say will be the most thought after long-term solution. I trust
her decision in all aspects, and yes of course she believes in learning from me
as well as her other students to stay in tune with the times----she is on
watsapp too!!!
I hope to instill as many values as possible
in my kids as she has instilled in me. She is a very loved grand mom and does
spoil my kids at time ...but always keeping them disciplined. She is and always
will be my friend, philosopher and guide.
The
message that she imparts through her words and deeds is very clear, whatever
hardship or challenges life throws up, if you persist, persevere
and pray...u will come out a champion.

You
inspire me Maa’m!!
There will be always many people who inspire
in your journey called Life. Just to name one person who have inspired you
immensely would be like deciding between your own kids. Still I am taking that
risk and naming one women who have inspired me apart from my Mother.
Hemangi Marathe is my Yoga instructor who has
been teaching yoga since 1986 but if you meet her you will not believe that she
belongs to the old school of yoga. Her larger than life smile, her curiosity to
learn new techniques, her ability to adapt changes always inspires me. At the
age of 48 when many people starts feeling that they need to slow down, she is
learning new forms of dances.
I hope she keep inspiring all her students
for many more years to come.
