হেঁশেলে মায়ের অশ্রু

The author recounts a childhood marked by separation from their birth mother, who fell seriously ill shortly after their birth and was sent to her parental home. Raised by an aunt and grandfather, the author initially believed their aunt was their mother. A poignant reunion occurred around age four or five when the author's birth mother, after years of separation and hardship, returned. The author's mother, despite her own past trauma and illness, became the author's primary educator, teaching them to read and instilling values of kindness and education. The author vividly remembers their mother's dedication, even in difficult circumstances, like cooking on a traditional clay stove and tending to them with great care.

This personal narrative highlights the profound impact of maternal presence and the resilience of family bonds in overcoming adversity and shaping an individual's life.
