Dear Readers,
Whatever anyone may say or feel, there is nothing that can equal the love a mother has for a child. You can often find remarkable teachers or make new friends, but there’s only one mother. They become the rock on which we stand, the fortress that protects our family, and the strength we thought we did not have. We never outgrow our mothers. So, whether you call her mom, mommy, mother, or amma, we hope that you have something special planned this Mother’s Day.
In this issue, our Feature story is a series of special conversations with some of Hyderabad’s mothers. We talk about all the things that make their relationships with their kids so special: the bonds they share, the memories they have, and the wonderful moments that make it worthwhile. Be sure to check out these lovely, touching stories.
On the cover this week, we have Jeevitha, Shivani, and Shivathmika Rajashekar. In the Cover Story, the trio of mother and daughters talk about the bond they share, how they influence each other, and how will they celebrate this year’s Mother’s Day. Don’t miss out on our Special Feature wherein young mothers in the city tell us how they are trying to cope with this global pandemic and surviving the lockdown with their children.
