“Maa to Maa hai.. ** Door ho tum.. jo ghar se apne.. To sochte hoge.. office mein baithe.. Maa kaisi hogi? Maa kaisi hogi? Ghar pe hai, to theek hi hogi. Kaam mein doobe, tum sochte hoge.. Maa jaagti hogi.. ya soti hogi. Maa to Maa hai.. Jaag hi rahi hai.. soi nai.. shayad roti hogi. Sochti hogi tum aaoge.. Dhoondhti hogi kaunsi raah se.. Tum door ho na.. samjhoge kaise. Darti hai vo.. khali ghar ke kone se.. Jhule ke khali hone se.. Mausam ke badalne se. tumhare ghar se chalne se. Puchti hai fir kab aaoge.. bta dena.. Saansein thodi hain.. hak apna jata dena. Ik baar to din mein baat kiya kar.. Neend achi aati hai.. teri Awaz sunkar.. Teri hasi, teri khushi ke vaaste.. kare sab kurbaan vo tujhpe. Duaayen deti hogi Maa to maa hai.. Roti hogi.. Fir chup chaap soti hogi. ***”

“Touch is the most basic and fundamental of human experiences. Before we can suckle, before we can even see, we are enveloped by the welcoming arms of our mother. As we nestle into her body, feel the steadiness of her heartbeat, breathe her smell, we embed ourselves with her as our beacon. Her body, her voice, her skin, her touch become the way we orient ourselves as we make our personal journey through infancy, childhood and beyond. And touch is among the most crucial of these elements, not only providing us, in the case of loving touch, with a sense of security and ease in our bodies, but shaping our biology and our neurocircuitry in ways that will affect our tempers and our personalities throughout our lives.”

“Yes, I am your mother, but for all that, you seem to me like a scourge. I ask myself what I have ever done to be dragged down into the depths by my daughter. And your father—what had he ever done? And you have presumed to use the word love in connection with this—with these lusts of your body; these unnatural cravings of your unbalanced mind and undisciplined body—you have used that word.”
