Powerful Women in My Life

The two most powerful women in my life got to be my Mother and my Mother-in-law. I am totally awe of both of them. The way they have influenced my life is something which I cannot just overlook.

Mother

• A home-maker for the last 26 years.
• Comes from a very simple and humble family of 7 (her mom, dad and 5 siblings!).
• Sacrificed her aspirations so the younger ones get to climb the ladder
• She gave up her studies and started working as an accoutant to help the family.
• Started supporting her family when she was 16.
• Got married when she was 23, when in those days girls were born just to be married at 16 something.
• Gave up her job when she tied the knot.

Mom is and has always been our strength.

Blessed are we to have a mother like her. A woman who means so much to me. A woman so dear to me. A woman who is everthing to me.

Mother-in-law

• A working woman for the last 15 years.
• Comes from a very simple and educated family of doctors, teachers, engineers.
• Sacrificed her dreams so her kids get the best in life.
• She gave up her studies and got married when she was all of 18.
• Was left alone when she was all of 28 with two school going boys.
• Finished her post graduate degree and took up a job to raise her kids.

Blessed am I to have a mummy like her. A woman who means a lot to me. A woman who is such an inspiration to me. A woman who gives me strength when I am low.

Love you both for being a part of my life!
