Birth of Innocence

Dear Masoom Pears,
There's a popular saying which goes like this, 'A child gives birth to a mother' and when I heard it for the first time I wondered what it meant and scoffed at the possible meaning. Years later now having experienced the joys of motherhood, there cant be a truer statement than that in my life.
Having Anvita in my life now, has transformed me totally and made me realize the strength and true meaning of this phrase. Her innocent questions, angelic smile, her pure laughter and gentle touch, her sweet face and all of that makes my day truly complete just being with her.
At 5 years she is a complete live wire, vivacious, witty and bundle of energy. And true to her name which means 'The one who bridges the gap', she always makes new friends wherever she goes and also stays in touch with them.
Being all that its not a surprise that she loves to go and out and play with friends every evening, run around and on bad days end up with scratches and bruises. One of those bad days when she had bruised herself and was back home early she happened to see the Masoom Pears soap TV commercial when her grand parents were watching TV. She was totally fascinated by the jingle and the mother-daughter relationship shown in it. So when I returned home from work that day she immediately ran to me and with tears welling up in her eyes she showed me her bruised elbow and through her sobs she insisted that I give her a bath with Masoom Pears soap only. I asked her why Pears? She told me that she had seen the ad on TV and now she wanted to have bath with Masoom Pears from then onwards. When I heard her tell me her innocent reason, I almost had tears in my eyes. She said that she also wanted to have as much fun while having bath like the little girl in the ad did with her mamma.

Rest they say is history...Anvita has got a new friend, Pears soap and as regards me, I have been hooked onto Pears soap thanks to Anvita my dearest daughter, who true to her name has bridged the gap between us and Pears in her Masoom way.

Thank you Pears for helping Anvita enjoy her bath everyday.

Warm regards,
Anvita's mamma, Aparna
