From Mom to Muse

We are often asked about who inspires us and what

the qualities of that person we admire are.
Many people inspire me in different walks of life

with their different qualities which I aspire to

inculcate.

But my mother is the person who inspires me the
most. My admiration for her increased exponentially

Ravi kumar when I passed school and, for the first time, was

2020-24 cse challenged by life. During these few years

of life, I tried to observe her range of qualities, from as simple as waking up at

a fixed time to complex time management during the rush month of
festivities. Some of her qualities that make me admire her include discipline

or a routine approach to everyday hustle, management of time and people,

and her impeccable understanding of human emotions. These qualities are

very important for me, not just as a student but for my aspiration to become a
better person. First of all, her disciplined sleeping and waking time made me

realize the importance of habits and then I truly realised how habits shape

life. Secondly, my mother is unarguably the busiest person in the house. Still,
she manages to not only go through all her tasks seamlessly but also with the

utmost delicacy and precision. This is something I struggle with in my daily

life. Lastly, of all the qualities, my mother's emotional maturity is something I
admire the most. She handles every situation and every person with diligence.

She takes into consideration the feelings and emotions of other people also,

while being not only strong but vulnerable at times.

She inspires me to be a better person, not only with her words but with her
actions also. Whenever I am battling with the highs and lows of this

competitive academic life, I often find myself repeating her words "Kuch naa

ban sako to koi baat nahi lekin achha insaan ban jana" (It is okay if you will

not succeed in the academic career but try to be a good person).
