Smart Mom Contest

Today was Annual Day of play school of our kid. We visited Kamani Auditorium to attend the function. School also organized a contest for mothers i.e. SMART MOM CONTEST. I was also one of the contestants. Since my childhood I came across many contests but this was totally different one. I was excited but bit nervous too as after a long time I was about to face a large audience.

We reached at 4.30 PM. After few performances of kids as scheduled the contest started. Judges took their place. After the first contestant, my name was called for first round. I took the deep breath and answered the question. I was not expecting that I will clear this round. Some of the moms have answered terrifically well. So I was sure I will not be selected. But hey! I was surprised to know my name in the second round of the contest. Now second round started. One of the judges asked me “What’s your sweet dream that yet to be fulfilled and what’s your biggest achievement so far.?”



My answer was:

Good evening parents and judges.

I am Anuradha Kumar, Ayush Kumar’s mother. My husband is in IT profession. We both try to give best platform to our child to grow. Few months back we started searching for play school for our child. Our criteria were affordable fees, less distance and good environment. Our search came to an end when we visited Blooming Flowers. Now my child is a part Blooming Flowers Family.

Everybody has some dream that they want it to be fulfilled. Dream gives us burning desire and develops an attitude that gives us energy. They give meaning to our lives. It gives us very nice feeling when we think of it. But how many of us work for our dream to make it real. Some of us never take any step due to fear of failure. Only people with vision work hard & overcome all barriers to make their dream true. In short only those people succeed who learn from their failure and bounce back again with more energy.

I was brought up in very supportive environment and I have always been a career oriented girl. I dreamt of being a successful entrepreneur. I did job as HR person for 3 yrs and but decided to leave my job on the birth my loving child. Leaving job was my own decision but still I was not happy from inside. Something was missing and some sort of battle was going in me. Then I decided to start something of own and make my dream of being successful entrepreneur true. I already prepared the ground required for this and put myself get going. I am not denying of challenges I might face but yes I will not give up this time.

I am appealing to all moms, not to give up your hope and your dream, move on. I am very much confident that you all capable of making your dream happening along with family.

I believe, smart mom is one who manages all things well despite of challenges she faces.

Wish me luck and pray for me, so that I get success.

If my dream gets fulfilled, this would my biggest achievement I ever had.



Bad luck this time, I was not in the list of three finalists. But it’s ok. At least I cleared the first round. This contest arose one question in my mind “Can these few question can determine whether one mom is smart or not”. I don’t know this entire thing. I know one thing only I love my child so much.
