My first relation with woman is: – ‘I found my paradise in the shape of my worthy mother, before my birth she kept me inside her belly; she bore the pain of my birth. She nourished me well, she hidden me from the hardest storms, she kept me happy every time, she fed me, she taught me how to take the first step. She is my first institution, where I leant everything excluding academic education, I can’t forget her lullabies when I was in cradle. She is my peaceful shelter when circumstances encircled me only she is one who encouraged me in all respects. She shielded me with her warm hug. She given me best ever best moments. She built my moral. She helped me, she covered me from bad weather; hot, cold and rain. She provided me strong base, she makes me fully aware regarding dos and don’ts. She devoted her life for the sake of my happiness; she kept herself hungry and provided me her bread piece first. She is my Paradise’.

My Second relation with Woman is: – ‘She is my sweet sister, my cradle guardian, she protected me, she look after me, she saved me from dangers , she hidden my nonsenses , she fought for me. She is my confidence.

My third relation with woman is: – when I grew up, I got married, a woman she became my companion, she became my trust, she became my helping hands, she became my counsellor, she became my advisor, she became my sorrow sustainers, she became my life partner, she became my pride, she became my grief sharer, she became my honor, she became my prestige, she became my reverence, she made me able to be a father.’

My Fourth relation with woman is: – my sweet daughter. ‘She is my reliability, she is my existence, she is entity, she is my treasure, she is my confidence and she is my lifeline ’.
