We never had enough money while growing up. But our mumma used to bake a tooti-fruity cake in a giant cook pot As we didn't have oven as well 🙆🏻‍♀ It was a total hit among my friends and neighbours. Extremely delicious 😋 Now I am earning well and I buy one of those super expensive ones in birthdays or other events. But no cake in the whole wide world can beat my mumma's tooty-fruity cake. That cake holds a special place in my heart. Mothers are blessings from god 🥰

I live in the US, where we put all bottles to be recycled in the recycling bin that is picked up by the city's garbage company. I do not put them in the bin, but I collect them, and after a month, I give them to the homeless person who scavenges trash cans on the streets to sell them so that he or she can get some money. It is a small thing for me to do, but it definitely helps them. Also, I feel that as a poor or middle-class parent, one should explain to the child that some things are way too expensive for us to buy. Kids, if explained properly, do understand. Thank you for another great video.

[@shashiverma5558]

God can’t be everywhere so He made mothers ❤

Mom's Love: Where Magic Begins Not everyone knows how hard it is to be a single mother. She assumes the responsibilities of both parenting and providing for her family on her own. As I watched the short film, I remembered my Mom. I don't know the jobs she took on just to meet my needs and wants. This film is one of the best for me because it shows the audience how a mother's love makes magic happen. In the beginning of the short film, it already shows how caring a mother can be. From preparing food for her son to dropping him off at school, and the determination in her eyes when her son requested a cake on his birthday. Her eyes scream, "I will give you everything, even the world, just to see you smile and be happy." No matter how impossible it may seem, a mother will always sacrifice, find a way, or even neglect herself just to give the best things in this world to her son. It really reminds me of my mother because I saw the things that she did; I know everything about her sacrifices just to provide for my needs and wants. For me to have every good thing in this world, she became selfless and poured all the love she could give to me. When the son told his mother that her hand stinks, I swear I felt my heart tighten. I saw my mom slowly losing her fair skin; I saw how her face changed because she minimized using beauty products, I saw my mom slowly losing weight; I saw those things. This film really reminds me of how fortunate I am to have my Mom. Most of the time, things won't go our way, but it doesn't mean that it would lead to the worst scenarios because I believe that God is good, and of course, I also believe that a mother's love would make magic happen. The twist in this short film is that when the mother lost her scraps that she planned to sell just to buy her son's birthday cake. Loving mothers can be seen as calm when things go wrong. Sometimes, we don't see them worry, but when they are alone, it's when they put their guards down. Why? It's because they always want to be strong for their children. Mothers will always find ways to make every bad thing better. In this short film, in the end, the mother found a way to celebrate her son's birthday. She successfully made her son happy on his birthday. Although it wasn't the cake from that bakery, at least it was the cake that he wanted. We, the sons and daughters, don't know the sacrifices our parents have made just to give us whatever we needed and wanted. But I truly hope that each one of us will always have the heart to appreciate our parents' efforts. The way they filmed this is just great. The camera angles and lights make you feel like you're right there with the characters, sharing their emotions. It's not just about technical stuff, it's about capturing those real moments that make us connect with the characters. The way they shot it, you can see the care and thought behind every frame. It's like they wanted us to experience the story, not just watch it. The short film was really great. I got the message loud and clear and it didn't confuse me at all. The shots, sound, lighting, and characters were all awesome. Everything was organized from start to finish. I can easily say it's one of the best I've seen. Patty Mae A. Sardan BLIS-2 ArtApp_CCSEA03

[@anusuyadasgupta4271]

That's why, if there's anything that can't be stealed or compromised is Mother's love. The lady did justice to her character. Keep it up dear.

Mere father government officer hai, mahine ka 1 lakh kamate hai but aaj tak mereko 1k ka cake bhi nehi dilaya. This is how you raise your kids, jitna resource hai utne me jeeo, paise kya ped pe ugte hai kya? Mujhe pata hai mere papa kitna mehnat karke paise kamate hai isliye I will never expect more from what my father can really afford for my wishes. Apne bachhe ko costly cake dilana hi pyar nehi hota hai.

[@SofisVlogs369]

[@SanatanVedicAN]

बहुत ही मार्मिक और हृदयस्पर्शी लघुकथा । हमारी संवेदनाएं ही हमें सही मायनो में मानव बनाती है , चाहे दीनदयाल उपाध्याय का अंत्योदय हो या गांधीजी का तलिस्मा सबका लक्ष्य एक बेहतर समाज का निर्माण ही था । पर बड़ी ही विडंबना की बात हैं की आज देवभूमि आर्यभूमि कहे जाने वाले हमारे प्यारे भारतवर्ष में भी मनुष्य बस भोग और काम के सेवन एवं पशुवत आचरणों में भटक कर रह गया हैं। But still there is a hope somewhere, a silver lining that if good people come together no matter how small their efforts are , still we can overcome even the mightiest of the evils and definitely can change the world.

[@Groverhasi]

दिल को छू गई ये प्यारी सी पाक कहानी।
