Motherhood

While surfing the internet, I got to read the summary of events (The Q&A round) held for Miss World 2017. And... trust me... after reading the answer of Ms. Chillar... I immediately called my mother. 

Manushi Chillar made the entire nation proud by winning the coveted Miss World 2017 beauty pageant in Sanya, China. She became the sixth Indian woman to be crowned as the Miss World after Reita Faria (1966), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (1994), Diana Hayden (1997), Yukta Mookhey (1999), and Priyanka Chopra (2000).

The Miss World contest is not just about looks as the pageant judges the contestants on various other aspects of the personality. The spontaneity and intelligence with which the contestants answer the questions asked in the final round is a key factor that influences the judges. 

Chiller gave a touching answer to the question she was asked in the round of five. 

She was asked, "Which profession deserves the highest salary and why?'' 

Chillar's answer was, "I think a mother deserves the highest respect, and when you talk about salary... it's not always about cash but I feel it's the love and respect that you give to someone. My mother has always been the biggest inspiration in my life. All mothers sacrifice so much for their kids. So, I think it is the job of a mother that deserves the highest salary." 

The answer did it’s magic and helped Manushi get the crown.

So yes, while we celebrated Manushi Chillar for giving India glory, we must equally give a thought to the answer that she gave and finally aim to give motherhood the recognition that it deserves. 

In the words of David O McKay, 

"Motherhood is the greatest potential influence either for good or ill in human life. The mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child's mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world."

 

Cheers to all mothers. Ladies, you are doing a magical job.
