Obvious!

I was working, or rather sleeping, with my Physics text in hand. The clock on the table read 4 AM. I was having Physics exam on the day that, I feared, would dawn within some hours. My mom saw me doing her most preferred job at the most awkward time. She came five minutes later, wearing a smile, with something for me to eat and said, "Enough of studying, get to bed" (which any student would like his/her mom telling) . Did that taste sweeter?

"Obviously, yes! It tasted better than ever!"

There was I, visibly depressed after losing something I craved for, when she told me, "Better luck next time" (again with an irreplaceable, soothing smile)! When I came the next day, having won what I craved for, she was there with me again, with the same, "I knew you'll get it!" Did she like seeing me win?

"Obviously, yes! She liked it more than how much I did!"

Whenever I feel good or bad, whenever a victory comes my way, or a bitter loss comes my way, I don't feel I'm tackling or experiencing it alone. I have the feeling that someone, somewhere is waiting patiently to see me taste success & experience failures with a level head and that is none other than my mom. Does she help me bringing out the best in me?

"Obviously, yes! She is my best well-wisher & I'm gifted!"

She scolds me (more often than not), she advises me, but more than all this, she is there with me! What else can I expect? None can admire me, love me, care for me, be with me than my mom did, does and will do! She is there for me as the 'pole star' makes its mark in the clear sky! Never is the sky clouded, never does the pole star's light ebb. And finally, can anyone on earth replace my mom and her love?

"Obviously, no! I love her so much (but not more than how much she loves me)! That's because she's OBVIOUSLY my MOM!"
