    About this ebook

    The very word mother symbolizes the deity of love care and affection and is considered as the purest of relationship mankind ever can have. I am reminded of famous line of poet describing mother: “ CHOTA THA JAB AAKHEN GILI HOTI THI TAB TUM YYAD AATI THI AUR AAB JAB TUM YAAD AATI HO AAKHEN GILI HOTI HAI…”
