She is my inspiration and superwoman, viewing her as a strong, dedicated figure who successfully and very easily balances protecting the community with raising us and taking care of family. She's always committed to her duty, the demands that come with her post such as late-night emergency calls, high-risk assignments, and long working hours, but still she makes sure to spend time with us and make us feel loved. There is a lot I'm yet to learn from her. She raised me with high discipline, but always motivated me to live a life and achieve my dreams.'
Values and Teachings
Sharing ahead, he continues, 'I'm thankful to her for providing a foundation for a happy life by teaching essential, long-lasting values like resilience, kindness, and self-love. Her guidance likely emphasizes independence, gratitude, and nurturing strong connections, which experts identify as core pillars for lasting happiness and mental wellness.' Kushagre mentioned that it is his mother's teachings that help him overcome challenges in the dream city, Mumbai.
He shared, 'She made me hardworking, with a never-give-up attitude. She raised me with a lot of good teachings and the ability to navigate complex challenges, though I have tweaked a few things in my life while keeping her values my primary agenda, which is why I'm more street-smart. I would thank her for ultimately preparing me for both personal and professional success.'
Mother's Day Plans
Talking about celebrating Mother's Day, observed on the second Sunday of May, he revealed, 'She is in the capital and I'm in Mumbai, and both of us are busy with our commitments and cannot afford time off from our work.
