1. Mother - A Wonderful Creation The good Lord was extremely busy on his sixth day of overtime creating the model of a mother. All her parts were movable and replaceable. She possessed a lap that disappeared upon standing, a magical kiss that cured everything from a broken leg to a broken heart, six pairs of hands, and three pairs of eyes. She could feed a family of six on half a kilo of cabbage without getting irritated. When the angel touched the model, he found it soft, but God said she was tough enough to endure anything. Finally, a miracle occurred—a tear appeared in her eyes, symbolising pain, joy, pride, disappointment, and loneliness.
2. Qualities Found in a Mother A mother is a blend of unmatched qualities. Her kiss can heal physical and emotional pain like a broken leg or heart. She possesses self-curing powers when sick and excels in resource management, feeding a family of six with minimal food. She manages her child's entire routine—bath, play, study, food—without losing patience. Though soft in appearance, she is tough enough to endure extreme hardship. Moreover, she can think logically, reason, and compromise effectively in all situations.

The Taj Mahal – A Splendid Creation
The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum located on the south bank of the Yamuna River in Agra. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and was opened in 1648. It is a masterpiece that showcases a blend of Mughal and Iranian architecture. The structure is built using white marble inlaid with semi-precious stones. It features a grand central dome of 240 feet (73 meters) surrounded by four smaller domes, four slender minarets, and beautiful gardens with flowing fountains. Renowned architects Ustad Ahmad Lahouri and Ustad Isa designed it. More than 20,000 workers from India, Persia, Europe, and the Ottoman Empire, along with 1,000 elephants, worked for nearly two decades to construct it. Today, it holds the burials of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan.
The Problems of Homemakers
Homemakers play the most vital role in holding a family together, yet their struggles often go unnoticed. A homemaker faces endless expectations from every family member. Her day begins before sunrise and ends long after everyone else has gone to bed. Unlike conventional corporate jobs, a homemaker gets no weekends, sick leaves, or paid holidays. Despite their dedication and tireless effort, homemakers are rarely appreciated or given the same societal respect as career women. Their selfless love for the family drives them to work continuously without a salary. It is essential that family members offer active help, respect, and support in daily chores, allowing homemakers time to rest and enjoy a well-deserved vacation.
An Incident When I Hurt My Mother
Last year, during my final exams, I was under tremendous stress. One evening, my mother gently came into my room and asked me to turn off my computer and eat dinner. Feeling annoyed and overwhelmed by study pressure, I raised my voice and rudely told her to leave me alone and stop nagging. She did not say a word, softly closed the door, and walked away. A few minutes later, I went to the kitchen and saw tears in her eyes as she kept my food warm. I instantly felt a deep wave of guilt for disrespecting someone who only cared for my well-being. I went up to her, held her hand, and sincerely apologized. She smiled and hugged me back immediately. That day, I promised myself never to speak rudely to her again.
