“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." - Osho
Mothers day for everyone around the world and Mothers day for Nepalese (आमाको मुख हेर्ने दिन or माता तीर्थ औशी) was something I was looking forward to for a while. They both fell on the same weekend, and my mom's arrival from Nepal was also scheduled for the same time, which means I wanted it to be a special celebration.
Mothers are so special that anything you give is still less than what all moms have given us. Even with that at the back of my head for weeks and days, something came to my mind. I had a bunch of things that I wanted to give her, so I planned to create a DIY basket with all the stuffs I wanted to put in. When you cannot decide on one thing to gift, that's the best way to go.
My hunt for a handmade bamboo basket did not go well, so I settled with a big green plastic bowl. I bought some fruits as that is what we get for moms in traditional Nepali way, and then some body lotion, body spray, energy bars, 2 coffee mugs(one for ama and one for bua) with customized texts, a photo frame and a jewelry set.
A big basket and some cello sheet with a fancy ribbon is all I needed next. I
just felt happier to put together all the stuff I wanted to give and make it a meaningful one. Try making your own for any occasion and see how happy your loved ones are.
I had a wonderful and blessed day, and hope you too did. Ending it with this quote
“God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.”
