Suman was looking at her daughter when she realized her left hand stopped throbbing, she kept on moving her fingers to re-assure if its for true – her pain is gone at last.
Beaming pan stained teeth, she brushed her fingers to Komal’s cheeks and gave her a motherly kiss. Komal immediately braced her in tight hug – “Maa, teri beti aaj doctor ban gayi!”*
Suman could not control her tears, happily called all her sisters – “Dekho meri bitiya daactor ban gayi”**
She took stethoscope & degree from Komal’s hands and kept in her diety’s feet, “I was waiting for this day since ages, today you proved them wrong – you are not like me & will never be“
Mother, you once told me if we really want something in life; whole universe conspires to make it happen! Your determination made me accomplish our dream, I will always be daughter of Suman didi of Kamathipura.
* (Mom, your daughter has become a Doctor today)
** (See, my daughter is a Doctor now)
Kamathipura is Mumbai’s oldest & Asia’s second largest red-light district.

A Beautiful tale of a mom and a daughter. I really hope more moms in small towns encourage their daughters like this.

A really great way of expression. It’s inspiring and well written!!
Expressive, touchy, motivational and emotional. Loved it..
This is a lovely story of grit and determination but I couldn’t see the connection with the photo prompt.
Thank you for stopping by & reading, for me the prompt featured as an old lady who could not relent her desire to get educated & live a better life from what she is today. But with her daughter’s upbringing she could teach her to see beyond the surroundings and grow. That’s why the mother is life’s best teacher. Thank You
A story that celebrates Motherhood and determination. #MyFriendAlexa #BioscopeReads
Beautiful. Passion, Achievements and support keeps us going. Also, a Mother’s Blessings are undefinable. Definitely a short and good read 🙂
Beautiful story, darling. ? The universe conspires for the ones who really want something to happen and try for it.
Life is the best teacher, just as it is. It is the toughest teacher. It won’t tolerate slothfulness for long. It’s always throwing some difficult problem your way and then seeing what you will do with it. Life awakens the joy in creative expression and knowledge. The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well. No matter what happens, life goes on and we have to go along with it to survive, No matter how many times you fail, you have to pick yourself up and Move on.
It is sad that people get labelled for the background from which they come from. Stories like these – fiction as well as the million of real ones are so inspiring for everyone.
Thank You so much
An amazing theme… loved this story.
Quite an inspirational story. Just goes to show that if one has the will power to achieve something, then nothing is impossible.
Lovely post. This makes me want to try something similar… A flash fiction post of sorts. Good luck with this month. 🙂
Thank You so much for reading, yes please do and when you start call upon me too for participation.
Your post reminded me of a book “the secret” which also has the same concept- if you really want it, the world will conspire to make it happen. lovely write up!
very nice post btw how do you get to know of this contest? would like to participate
Lovely post Dipika.. I too believed in the concept of “if you truly want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it”.
Could imagine while reading, great one
