Story of Twining Up with my MOM - fbb

Happy Mother's Day to the strongest women of my life.

Love you Mumma!!!! This only and only for you.


"Like Mother Like Daughter!!!" I AM PROUD of this pharse which says that Daughter resembles her Mother. I, as a daughter tend to do what my mother did before me. I tried to absorb each an every quality of my mother. And by the grace of God, I am the perfect replica of my mother where looks are concerned. A female can understand the real emotions and sensitivity of a mother towards her child when she herself attains motherhood​. I felt the same attraction when I had hold my daughter for the first time.

I am thankful​ to my dearest mom to give me life, to nurture me and make me a person which I am today. By thanking her or saying three magical words "I Love You, mom" will not be enough for her love and hardship she gave me.

My mom was and is the Beautiful female of the entire universe. I have always tried to be as simple as she is. Her Signature style is simple but still very very beautiful.

Twining - Up with my mom with Indian Guju Traditional Look: I have always tried to copy my mom in dressing up as she loves to be simple. But still she looks gorgeous. I have tried to be like her with our traditional saree called kutchi bandhni saree. This traditional saree is worn during marriages. This saree look shows that I am replica of my mom with the simple but gorgeous look.





I love this look very much on my mom. She looks complete in this attire with full of emotions, attachment and attractive. And my mom feels the same. She feels that I look the best in this attire. We both admire each other in this lovely lady look. Again this quality also makes us replica.


The story of Twining up with mom continues as tripling up....... in my life as my daughter also follows the same path.......

#MyFilmyMom #Bigsmall 

Friends please spare a second and comment on the love and similarities between us. Do mention about the twining and tripling.....

Thanks #fbb,
