"What a boy God has gifted me" - mother Padma Kumari on Gukesh winning World Championship 2024

[@aviraljanveja5155]

This is a point to note in Indian household. The mother's faith in God and firm belief that things will turn out to be good, gives strength and perseverance to the whole family.

[@divyaanshverma8304]

That's kind of annoying too sometimes , but still maybe wholesome , I agree

[@ansaiprasanna]

It's single most unique thing that I observe. It sort of frees your mind. You always feel something good will happen. Isn't it great?? All the great 'Secret' book talks about is this underlying fact that indian mother's have been following for ages ❤

Gukesh's idol Bobby Fischer was an atheist. If I remember correctly. I think Sagar Shah too 😅.

Gukesh is not only a gift to her and her husband, but a gift to the entire nation. He's a national treasure without doubt and must be given BR award.

[@jayasudhakar6313]

Certainly V. Anand Sir deserves the Bharat Ratna as of now for putting India on the world chess map, being the world champion 5 times and mentoring an entire generation behind him . Gukesh has a long way to go but he has the potential and the mental strength to achieve many more laurels and get the BR award one day !

yes but even if children do not achieve things as great as Gukesh has but are successful in their own ways the parents have that aura🔥🔥 just that their children ain't that famous, so we make this assumptions ever seen kargil's hero Capt.

[@lathaswaminathan1435]

I know that before I was born, my mother would fast and pray and do hundreds of things which I could not even do for five minutes. She did that for two years. I believe that whatever religious culture I have, I owe to that. It was consciously that my mother brought me into the world to be what I am. Whatever good impulse I have was given to me by my mother - and consciously, not unconsciously.

[@jayasudhakar6313]

Gukesh's parents are the biggest example of how a close- knit family with a shared dream can reach the pinnacle of glory through discipline and dedication.They have stood by each other and supported Gukesh's passion in every possible way. Their honesty in admitting their vulnerabilities and their positive thinking to keep moving on , their courage of conviction to think unconventionally and the efforts they have taken to instill good values in Gukesh and maintain family bonding with their relatives is hugely inspirational. They are most unassuming. The best part is how they are able to find the fine balance between stepping in for Gukesh's needs and letting go to allow him to make his own decisions and take ownership in following his passion. That is the best parenting message they give through their actions. On his part Gukesh is putting in his best to live upto their moral values. Such families are our best role models . Our best wishes to them and thank you CBI for highlighting their lives to us.
