Rajni Luthra wrote: Lovely story - and one that the little ones will thank their mum for, in years to come! Well done to all three Wakhare ladies.

CONGRATS?

On Mother’s Day, NEHA MALUDE wrote about her rst pregnancy and the search for her ‘missing’ maternal instinct.

SL Pathi wrote: I re ected for quite a while on the last line “I am a bad mum.” There is no such person as a bad mum. Every woman from the moment of conceiving wants to do her best for her offspring(s). In that process mums set the bar so high that even when they fall by a notch or two they unjusti ably assume the ‘bad mother’ tag. There may be times they fall short of the high standards they set for themselves due to factors beyond their control. And there may be times it is only their perception they haven’t done their best. It is for good reasons that God - or nature - has assigned the female species to bear and nurture their progeny. Thank heavens, the male species is relegated to the back in this regard, gender equality pleas notwithstanding.
