God could not reach everywhere, so he created mothers. It doesn’t matter whether we are six or sixty, for our mothers, we will always remain their little babies. From our unsaid emotions to our deepest secrets, they know everything and help us fight with our own demons. Whether it is the warmest hug or the home-cooked food with love, no one can take the place of a mother in a child’s life. And the Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan had shared a similar bond with his late mother, Teji Bachchan.

Par kisi ujade hue ko, phir basaana kab mana hai? Andheri raat par diya jalaana kab mana hai?” This large ‘gulmohar’ tree was planted as a sapling by me when we got our first house Prateeksha in 1976... the recent storm brought it down... but yesterday on my Mother’s birthday Aug 12th I replanted a fresh new Gulmohar tree in her name… at the same spot!”
