A Nostalgic 1st Birthday Letter for The Momma Clan

A Nostalgic 1st Birthday Letter for The Momma Clan by Ashu Verma Chaubey

Hey Harshita, remember these pics.

Flashback to One-year before the Birthday

It’s from our WhatsApp chat of 23 December 2021, when you were busy finalizing the last-minute details of how your baby would be brought into this world.

After nurturing the fetus of your dreams in your mental womb for so long and discussing every now and then about its growth possibilities and the extra vitamin doses, it would require to finally come out hale and hearty before this world, the beautiful Momma was totally ready for the delivery of her most awaited child anytime, and thus on this date was born…….

The Momma Clan

I still remember the chats we had on the twenty-third and twenty-fourth of December, while you were busy finalizing all the minute details about how it would go about on Christmas.

The google permissions, the setting of pages, getting of us friends together ready with our blogs to be published along with the personal new year celebrations. Writing this down today, I’m able to recall accurately the highs of the level of excitement we were experiencing in your endeavor to ignite the propellors and start the journey.

No high expectations, just genuine feelings that the baby would grow slowly and steadily into a handsome lad who would be appreciated by one and all. And when I look back today, I feel that this genuineness of a wholehearted approach was the factor that has brought your baby to the level where it is today, “Read Internationally”…… I remember your words when we were discussing about some topic a couple of days back. And must add present internationally too, for you have so many participants too from across the borders.

I remember how you had those Google terms and conditions pressures but still, you never passed it on to any of us. Your liability to meet the number of blogs, the quality of blogs, the substance, the limits of use language and expression, etc.. etc…

How we used to discuss how we would discourage authors from putting up objectionable nudity and sexual content in the name of the demand of the story.

And this………..

From the first fifty views and the first ten likes

I remember how overjoyed we were to see these figures as if they were some magical numbers displaying our distinctions on boards.


To a huge figure of thousand views

And the journey continues in a much more grander way………

I still remember how some of us were not able to access the page and blogs. After long discussions, varied solutions, and changes in settings, and finally the page came out beautiful, the way it looks today……

I also remember my first blog scheduled for posting and how excited I was about selecting a festive story or a moral story on the eve of Christmas and finally finalizing this one…

And after that, there was no stopping by, especially for you.

Everyday, every week, every occasion name it and you would have new prompts to keep your mind machinery running…

Vo kehte hain hai naa…
“”To shuruat hi bus akele karni padti hai, safalta ke saath saath nayi manzilen khud hi aa jaati
hain””.

And this is what happened to your wholehearted diligent efforts. They paid off.

From just some stories by a group of authors to a clan of almost 100 participants and from just prompts to certificates, giveaways and other incentives for writers, you’ve come a long way dear and that too with a self-driven engine on manual mode, putting in the fuel of your imagination and ceaseless dedication.

Next, you introduced the podcast on Spotify where the audio versions of our stories could be uploaded to provide the works with a much larger audience. A way ahead…….

And then you introduced the reels on insta handle which again is another success story. The next was The Momma Clan Creative Hats introduced just a few days back to pump in those creative minds into action and mesmerize the world with our beautiful creations be it poetry or song or art or photography whatever form…….

My journey with you before, during the course of creation, and after the birth of The Momma Clan has been a beautiful enjoyable cruise where we have enjoyed even the smallest of joys together, wishing each other, praying for your success always, and ready to support you with my write-ups at least.

I mention this, especially because when I fell ill in Aug-Sep and after that had problems with my mobile due to which we were out of touch for about a month and a half, the care that you showed towards me was overwhelming. I felt like I had a dear friend in this unknown city. Also after that period though I’ve not been able to keep pace with the prompts due to some problems on the home front but I sincerely wish on this occasion that…

With someone or without someone, may your page grow bigger and better with each passing day. May you achieve all that you hadn’t even dreamt of and scale much larger heights.

How fast this journey has crossed a time period of one year is unimaginable. Today when am writing this it seems to me as all this had happened just a couple of days back and I’ve got to pinch myself time and again to realize that it’s past one year since your baby was born.

And this Christmas is its first birthday.

So I need to put a full stop to my backward thoughts otherwise this blog will continue till DEC 23(😝😝😝).

So putting an end to my one-year mind journey with you here’s Ashu wishing the Great Momma of The Momma Clan……

A very Happy Birthday and many many happy returns of this day….

May the Clan soar high up in the skies and achieve new heights every day, grant you the fulfillment of your dreams, and further grow up to make its Momma proud of its achievements, though it’s Momma’s brain at work but still, the world’s going to recognize the baby first. Wish you all the luck and always praying for your success.

Lots of love…..

Ashu
