Walking, talking bundles of joy and your very own superheroes, mothers are indeed a blessing. Your Ammi knows just how to cheer you up when you’re down in the dumps with her aloo ke parathay and lots and lots of free hugs. Which is why they are the masters of knowing just what you need.

2. Beemari aur yakhni

3. Mehmaan aur wohi khaas wala dinner set

4. Sarr ka dard, kamar ka dard, baazu ka dard, dimag ka dard, DIL KA DARD aur Panadol

5. Nazar aur mirchon ka dumm

6. Baarish aur garam pakoray

7. Kapron pe keechar aur taanay

8. Surf aur washing machine

9. Sabzi wala aur bargaining

10. Kahin bahir jana aurbin pooche sawalaat

11. Koi bhi ghalti aur jooti

12. Whatsapp aur forward messages

13. Gandi almari aur taanay

14. Desi totkay aur desi totkay

15. Late night texting aur “ye girlfriend se baatein kerrahay ho?”

16. Tabiyat khraab aur kabhi complain na kerna

16. Koi bhi cute harkat aur sadkay jana

All the ammis of the world, we love love LOVE you.
