Trust is basis of any relationship. 
Trust is a fundamental nature of human being – you either trust or you don’t and it is your inner quality.
It has nothing to do with another person’s action or word. 
But only when 2 people come from 100% trust they can build a relationship of love.
Love without trust is just a convenient arrangement.
Love is a paradise one builds on 3 pillars – unconditional trust, total caring & absolute sharing.

Today my lovely princess Maithilee turned 20.
What a long journey which ended so fast!

Life has never been the same since this tiny baby with big smile and much bigger anger came in my life.  Making her do anything was always a great task because she always knew what she had to do. And her anger was good enough to blow a whole mountain.But she has always been full of life. A very high energy child, laughing and running with full of tricks up her sleeves, Mithu always threw me out of my comfort zone.
As a mother I was supposed to teach her things but in these last 20 years of my journey with my unconventional, challenging and absolutely rebellious bundle (tiny that too) of joy, I learnt what it is to be a mother truly. With her pure innocence and spontaneity I re-lived my own childhood.  With her games and fun, she made me a child again.
While I was teaching her to walk, she showed me how to be on my toes.
When I tried to teach her how to speak, she showed me how to make sense of her incomprehensible baby talk.
I wanted to teach her what is right for her and she challenged every right and made me discover  the reasons why some things are not so right in spite of world believing that they are right.
I wanted to teach her trust and love and care and share and she rebelled every teaching of mine and taught me that all these things are not learnt but are within us.
I wanted to protect her from all evils of the world and she showed me how to trust the world.

Today when I look at my little baby grown so big with an awe and surprise, I realize that nothing in my human capacity I could have done as a mother to raise such a beautiful, caring, loving and dashing young woman.

On your 20th birthday my princess all I can give you is my blessings.
You are a perfect creation of GOD and  I look forward to seeing you grow in your lovingness and inner beauty.
Let us be friends and share this bond of togetherness forever.
