This blog is NOT about a unique bond, I, as a mom share with my kid.
For quite sometime, I feel the way I see this world has changed a lot. My emotional strength has thinned out considerably. Certain events, which would have never caught my attention, hurts me deep now.
A simple example: One day I was watching a news channel which telecasted a video clip of a small kid, must be 4 months old, playing with a serpent. The six foot snake kept hissing at the baby and the baby thought that the snake is playing with him and tried to hug it. I felt very helpless and frightened on watching that. Obviously I cant do anything and I felt very sure that the baby is safe. No fool will video record this event if a kids life is endangered. I just switched off the TV and tried to concentrate on something else. I thought this is not a problem to worry at all.
A few days before, I read a horror story of a eight month old kid, who survived nine horrible days on a boat that went adrift in Indian Ocean. The family has tried to flee from the war zone in SriLanka. They must have thought of India as a safe haven. A news like this would never have bothered me a year ago. As long as I am not in that situation, I would never have empathized or atleast felt sorry for those poor souls.
But motherhood has softened me that my heart bleeds whenever I learn about these incidents. I dont know who has the power to stop all these. I dont think both the government or the liberation movement are interested in saving the innocent lives. There is a dumb idiot called "UN". I doubt its very existence.
As usual I feel helpless. What can I do?
Just close the browser and not read any more of this news??
My Mother's day wish
A happy, peaceful future for all the kids in this world.

I expect some pleasureful news on seeing "mother`s day" in the blog head. But feeling less weighted heart after reading the blog. I dont know when will be the full stop for the SriLankan tributes. But expecting very quick steps for their solutions. Political persons utilise their cryings for their selfish use but not for saving their lives. As u said, Its not only Mother hood nature. Rather than Humanity dies among the responsible leaders.
