Endless thirst of a Motherly figure!

What is a mother?

Mother is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Mother is a guide when paths are twisted.

Mother is a figure who drops her delicate girly tantrums and goes beyond to fulfil her child’s needs.

Mother is someone when others show their back, she keep her warm hand on our shoulder.

Mother is someone whose cord is attached with us before we are born and after she dies. She is always there.

Mother is a purest soul free of glitches and blemishes.

Mother is a mother remains always mother!

Some call her Aai; some call her mom; for some she is mommy and some call her Mai. She defines our life in a truest sense.

Why do we say ‘motherly figure’ when we are closed to one of our aunts? Or why do we feel same attachment that we shared with our biological mothers to our grandma or any other elderly person?

It’s because our lives are incomplete without our mothers. We try to find motherly figure in our aunts, grandma, grandpas or uncles. Our thirst for mother’s love is never-satisfying. That’s why we share the same bond after our mothers. Mothers are a blessing given by the almighty.

Ask anybody who has lost his or her mother in early ages. The grief, the thirst or that incompleteness our eyes continue to search in our aunts, grandparents or maternal uncles continues. There is a very famous proverb in Marathi “माय मरो आणि मावशी जगो”. It means if there are no mothers, our aunts would shower the same love and her place is equal to our biological mother. She takes second place after mother’s love.

‘#LikeAMother’ celebrates the feeling of motherhood and pays a tribute to all those in our lives who have been no less than a mother in our lives. From their grandparents, fathers, care-takers, aunts, step-mothers or even a friend, this video shares the stories of different people from all walks of life, acknowledging that one person who has played the role of a mother in their lives, even when they didn't had to. 

The Glitch has gone beyond to express the gratitude towards the mothers and they collated stories of different people from all walks of life. After mothers these people who play their roles in our lives such way that we forced to call them Like A Mother.

Featuring Actor Arjun Mathur and others, the video has been conceptualized and produced by The Glitch

About the video:

Going beyond the literal definition of a mother and focusing on the meaning and the emotion attached to that word. This video celebrates those figures who have showed the unconditional love and care that any mother would give to a child, the support that you get when everything seems muddled. While most of us will think of their own mother who symbolizes all of the above things, you find people showing the same care apart from your “biological” mother. 

The video ‘#LikeAMother’ by The Glitch featuring Actor Arjun Mathur and others, explores the broader aspect of being a mother by celebrating motherhood on this mother’s day.
