Mother, what can I give you? ....

After having reached the height of his career a man felt a duty to
repay his mother back for all that she had done for him.

He asked, "Mother, what can I give you? What can I do for you?
I sincerely wish to repay you for the sacrifices you made for me and
for all the love you have showered upon me."

Mother looked surprised and said,"Why do you think about it? It was
my duty so I did it, you don"t have to repay me. Even if you want to,
there is no way a man can ever repay his mother."

Despite her continuous refusal to ask for anything, the son
persisted.

To put an end to the discussion, she said, "All right. If
you must, then tonight you sleep on my bed, with me, just as you used
to when you were a baby."

He said, "That"s a strange thing to ask for, but if it pleases you, I will."

As soon as he fell asleep, the mother got up and brought a bucket of
water. She poured a mug full of water on his side. Feeling disturbed
by the wetness under him, in his sleep he moved away to the other
side of the bed. As he settled down, his mother poured another mug of
water on the other side. In his slumber he tried to find space
towards the foot post of the bed. Sometime later he woke up feeling
that this part of the bed too was damp. He got up and saw his mother,
with the mug in her hand.

He asked angrily, "What are you doing mother? Why don"t you let me
sleep? How do you expect me to sleep on a wet bed?"

Mother said, "I slept with you, when you wet the bed in the night.
I would change your nappy and move you to the dry part of the bed,
while I slept on the wet side. You wanted to repay me.
Can you sleep here even for one night with me on a damp bed?
If you can, I'll take it that you have repaid me"...

How eloquently the story above demonstrates that we can't even begin
to repay the care, love and attention a mother showers her child
throughout the course of life.

May Almighty enable us to be of service and comfort to both our
parents when we can and may He grant us PATIENCE to serve them in
their old age.

This is only a story...

Roja ji!
What you 'told' is simply something that is in vogue midst your sweet mind & heart! You're a lovely person!
Incidently, I also wrote some thing about being a woman, and it is (Aaj hi post ki thee: meyree 'profile' par deykh sakti ho!):

Har aurat maan bananey ko paidah hoti hai;
Wah doodh pilaatee hai, mailaa bhi dhotee hai:
Tab kaheen, bastiyaan basteen hain insaanoun keen:
Tab, har ghar mein khushiyoun kee rounaq hotee hai!!
