Shenaz Treasurywala Instagram – What qualities of your mother do you have in you? What is the best gift your mother has given you? I have my mother’s drive. When my mother decides to do something, she gets it done. I remember countless times as a kid sitting in the BMC office with my mom as she waited to speak to an officer because there was garbage outside our building or the road was being dug up. And she would get it fixed. Dad would ask her, where you going? She would say, “I’m going out.” And then we would be in the BMC office for hours until the job was done 😂 Mom stopped working when Tina and I were young but as soon as I was in the sixth standard she decided she was going to work again. Everyone told her she had been out of the work force too long. She didn’t listen. She started helping out in my school in the drama class and soon got a job in my school as a drama teacher for the primary section. From there she went on to be the most loved drama teacher in Bandra ( my neighbourhood) where she taught in many schools. Not only did mom work, but she also cooked for the entire family including my grand-parents. We were in a joint family at the time. Even now with Covid19, I keep telling her,”mom, let me order food for you guys”, but she refuses and she says if I don’t cook I will forget and she’s up at 8 am and in the kitchen. She’s not just a hard worker and determined, she also has every hair in place at all times, nails done, beautiful outfit on. This quality I may not have from her 😂 But I have the – determination to win! The resilience. I will fall down but I will pick myself up and start again. This I feel is the best gift I could get. Thank you mom ❤️ My moms mantra- nothing is impossible. The word “impossible” doesn’t exist in her dictionary and therefore doesn’t exist in mine. Mom you are a winner! And I love you! This is just one of your amazing qualities. But the one I treasure the most because this quality is in me and I have achieved everything I have in life because I have this little bit of you- in me :) Happy Mother’s Day! No amount of words I can write here can describe the love I feel! Mumbai, Maharashtra
