Motherhood -- Incredible

The incidence that I am sharing with you is real and incredible!!!

On the occasion of Sankranti, [an Indian Festival] I was very busy with household works, preparing sweet and hot dishes, with all the traditional offerings and prayers….

As it is the festive of 3 days, I was busy planning for each day… then what I notice is, my maid didn’t turn on first day of festive… I thought as it is festival, so she didn’t turn up But she didn't turn up for next 3 days as well… we tried to find out the reason for her disappear. Where in we found that our maid has cattle’s and one of her cows has given birth to a baby calf. And unfortunately, the calf disappeared the day after its birth.

The mum cow was so disturbed by the incidence that it started roaming around in the down village, not ready to come down to its shed. And the maid, who is the owner of this cow, is searching for the calf. Gave a police complaint and spread a word in the village and so on…tried her best to find the infant calf.

After 6 days of incidence, my maid turns up to domestic work… and when I happened to ask her about the leave, she explained me the whole insight to which I was literally dazed!!!

In detail…

While searching for the calf, my maid who lost her hopes after searching for 2 days… tried to get the mum cow back to its shed… the mum cow refused by stabbing with its horns and was wondering near one particular house and was mooing looking at the entrance as if it is indicating its master to go into that house. 

The maid got suspicious and requested to allow her inside the house for a search, wherein the members of that house refused. One male member of that house has come out to fight and push my maid out and the mum cow smelled him and started rushing into the house. My maid, the master of the mum cow, controlled the cow by yelling at it loudly. But whenever, the man came out of the house the mum cow became uncontrollable and started mooing loudly as if she recognizes the kidnapper.

As the mum cow moos then there was a slow moo sound from inside that house and the maid, realized that the calf is in this particular house and started fighting for the calf. The maid went to police station to pressurize the thief, but didn’t work that way. Again the maid went to the village and gathered all the villager and village heads for justice and stood in front of that thief’s house. The man refused to give back the calf, and tried to push away the maid, master of the cow out of his premises. That was the moment when the mum cow reacted offensively, and just pierces the man with its sharp horns…. 

And guess what? The man had to get 20 stitches on the cut made by mum cow on one of his thighs.

At last after 5 days of struggle the mum cow gets its calf back… ultimately, the mum cow, baby calf and the master of these cattle’s are happy….

The best part is the judgment!!!

I guess even if the police arrested the thief, the punishment would be few months’ jail or some small amount of money…. But the mum cow punished the man in its own way and this scar is going to remain on his body for lifetime that would remind him of this mamma cow every time he looks at the scar…Next time he will think hundred times before acting on such insane operation.

When we think of a mother, what sort of a portrait we get in our minds? A compassionate woman who will sacrifice all her comforts and will work interminably in the home without expecting any monetary reward, only to take care of her children. Motherhood means sacrifice and pain from day one of conception. But this pain and sacrifice brings forward a beautiful feeling in a woman after she finds that her children are happy and healthy. That is the only reward she desires from her children. And that is motherhood. If motherhood is full of love, care, adore it is also about protection, teach the art of living and courage to fight for its children.


And his is true not only for humans but all mothers of the animal kingdom as well. A tigress will attack you and kill you if you dare to approach her cubs. In my childhood rabbit attacked my Aunt when she tried to touch the newborn baby kits. Every mother is ready to go to any length to save her young ones. For a mother, the child is her extension. This is not so for the fathers. But mothers treat the child as same as themselves. Why?


Nature gives this love to a mother so that the specie persists. Mothers are exceptional. The more a mother touches her children physically, the more loved they feel. They get the reassurance of the protection of the mother.


A child must always feel grateful to his/her mother because nobody else, including the father forgoes so much as the mother, to bring up the child.
Mother is God of love and compassion.

 Salute to all the mothers in this world!!!

Cordially,
