Because i miss my mother too...
This has been my very first attempt to project the feelings and pain of my mother through film. This video gives a very small glimpse into my mother's life, an idea of her routine. Is is shot from her perspective; how she feels about herself, her illness, how her body is merely controlled by everyone else except her own self. The difficulty she faces in her everyday life, in carrying out daily tasks such as eating, walking, or even speaking.
The title suggests my emotions and feelings that I am still going through past several years. While working on this film I came across the fact that my mother tend to miss her mother a lot. Due to cultural boundations, a daughter is expected to stay aloof from her maternal home for years. She has to live with her husband and in laws and is away from her maternal home both geographically and psychologically. The fact that she misses her mother is inevitable, but for me missing my mother is uncertain. Even if I am with her throughout the day I miss “my” mother. I always have her physical presence in my life but I miss the emotional and moral support most of the times.
