[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hile the whole world praises who are great in all walks of life, I see my #madeofgreat person in a simple lady who is not known to this world. Neither she’s being praised, nor applauded for her achievements, as her survival of life lies in her struggle for existence.
While the whole world is appreciating achievers, I want to salute that silent soul in my life who has neither achieved anything for herself nor she expects and accepts any returns for what she does for others— I’m talking about the greatest pillar of my life, and my genuine support system, my mother.
- At the age of 63, she runs the whole household of her children by her own just because she wants them to be free from all burdens of life and get what they wish. Working hard the whole day, she’s #madeofgreat sweat.
- She is the one woman who supports her daughter-in-law by bringing up her little baby of 2 years ever since he was born, just to give her the wings to fly, as she wants to support her parents with her earnings (without expecting any returns). She is #madeofgreat sacrifice.
- My mother is a woman who had given all the opportunities to her children for them to get higher education despite being uneducated. She even punished us hard if we ignored our studies for a bit, as she wanted us not to be like her, but grown up as capable people. She’s #madeofgreat wisdom.
- A grandmother of 5 kids from 2-24 years, she can understand the language of a 2 years old toddler, recognize 13-16 years old teen’s trauma and can even be the confidante of her 24 years old granddaughter better than their parents. She takes best care of them as she is #madeofgreat acumen.
- When we all middle-aged siblings get frustrated out of workload, she performs her tasks (even double than ours) with a smile, despite being old and ailed. She is #madeofgreat performance.
- She is the person to whom everyone in the family and even in the society can bank upon for their economic, monetary matters without any doubt. With her, all the valuables are safer than kept in safes. She is #madeofgreat trust and belief.
- Even in our 30’s and 40’s, all of us ( her children) feel helpless without her presence in our lives. The one is considered the luckiest among us (and the others get envious too) with whom she chooses to live. Not because we’re good offspring but for being privileged enough having her in our lives (for our selfish motives). She is #madeofgreat support!
- She is the person who can distinguish and adjudge between the right and the wrong, no matter who does it. She takes side of her daughter-in-law over her son when some argument happens between them. She is truly #madeofgreat justice.
- She is the person who always donates more than what she gets, as she feels those needy shouldn’t be left deprived of little things of life. Donation is the whole religion she possesses as she is #madeofgreat excellence.
- She is the strongest woman I’ve ever seen. As being married at the age of 13, becoming a mother at the age of 16 and losing a kid at the age of 20 and even being widowed at the age of 47, she did take all the responsibilities with her stride and walked with pride. She is #madeofgreat mettle.
- Elizabeth Cady Stanton has rightly said “The best protection any woman can have… is courage.” So through this blog post I can proudly state that no matter what difficulties she had to face in her life, she came out more strong, more resilient and more worthy. She is my mother, my mother [highlight]Ms. Kalindi Mishra[/highlight], indeed, #madeofgreat courage.
While I talked about my mother’s expertise with all those adjectives, the one adjective I fetched for myself is pride. So does the whole India (feeling proud), when we think of our very own Tata Motors. This is the one automobile manufacturing company which makes us feel proud of our roots and when they get associated with the maestro Lionel Messi, nothing could be more worthy and par excellence than this ‘[highlight]the one association[/highlight]’. Lionel Messi is now the new global brand ambassador of Tata Motors and this is really #madeofgreat coalition.
So Symphonites, I simply wanna ask you a #madeofgreat question—
“What do you think of Tata Motors association with Lionel Messi?”
The one with the most interesting and substantial answer would win an [highlight]Amazon voucher worth Rs. 750[/highlight] from Tata Motors. Keep your opinions raining in the comment section below! Winner will be chosen on 26th Nov, 2015. 🙂

Tata Motors’ association with Lionel Messi spells a significantly notable alliance that will steer the company towards favourable benefits. I always acknowledge Tata Motors as a distinctive name in Auto industry, which will not let the success ‘larger-than life’ elude from its fate now with a timeless guild with iconic figure Messi. I don’t see this union of Tata Motors as an aspirational effort for garnering some quick publicity and evoke specific reaction from myriad crowd with Celeb branding, but is rightly an embellished handshake for keeping up the pace to get to the pinnacle of success graph. To sum things up, I am joyous to see the brand and the star uniting for ‘One in a Million’ #madeofgreat power-packed drive ahead 🙂
Thank you so much Shilpa. All the very best for the contest and thanks for stopping by 🙂
Tata Motors has gained the goodwill from giving the best and
innovative Automobiles and it is also known as one the best Automobile Manufactures.
And if you see the Lionel Messi , his throughout dedication, zeal , targeted
goal of life and technically soundness make him big, achiever and remarkable position
in the world.
As per me, the association of Tata Motors and Messi is a
grand amalgamation of two legendary entities of the world, and their amalgamation
will definitely break down the clutters and affect the cut throat competition
of Tata Motors. Tata motors will sure get a huge preference by the fans of
Messi. This will sure make a record on
the of Tata motors in the world of production or may be the highest selling
automobiles.
Tata motor’s main target is to give an impression on the
large amount of crowd and this can be achieved only through the Messi, because
the youth generation is crazy for MESSI and this can be smart move and a great
achievement for Tata Motors they positioned MESSI as their BRAND AMBASSADOR .
In the nutshell, Tata Motors , Messi joining hands will
definitely give more soundness in technicality of promotional strategies and Messi’s influence will influence the
audience for choosing Tata Motors and expand the business drastically.

Thank you so much Mr. Doshi for you participetion. All the very best for the contest and thanks for stopping by 🙂
I remember reading your winning entry for the Godrej Expert contest and here, yet another touching memoir of your mom! Both your mom and your writing are inspiring 🙂
I was moved when I heard about Messi’s other side of having been selected as the goodwill ambassador by UNICEF for supporting lives of children across the globe. Not only a soccer legend but also a wonderful human by virtue, Messi, deserves to be adorned as a ‘made of great’ person.
Tata Motors has brought several dreams of middle class citizens alive with their cheapest car in the world, Nano. Behind Nano’s making, there was certainly a touch of humanity. Now imagine the association of these two brands! I believe, with what drives them from within, as individuals, they are sure to create something great for the future of the world. Not to exaggerate, but Messi’s words during the event, “Namaste India” has certainly rang a new moment in the history of India!

Thank you so much Nandini. All the very best for the contest and thanks for stopping by 🙂 Well congrats to you for already winning #MadeOfGreat contest for top 10 early-birds 🙂
Keeping the contest part aside for some time let me first congratulate the Lady Of This Moment – Sangeeta Ma’am 🙂 Mother is the strongest pillar of everyone’s life but very few are as blessed as you ,who can weave the emotions & feelings so beautifully with the perfect choice of words.Many time I have also tried to write something for my lovely mom but failed miserably 😀
I began to think what actually #madeofgreat is ,especially when Tata Motors & Messi both coming from altogether different fields decided to join the hands.Later on I found many similarities between them,both started as a rookie & were almost written off by the people at first but like the gold takes its shape & becomes valuable after bearing many beatings and high temperatures,Tata Motors & Messi proved their mettle with hard work ,dedication & the rest is a history.
so this #madeofgreat association will always inspire me to say ‘Try Me’ instead of ‘Why Me’ when Life will decide to put my temperament to test 🙂
Once again many congratulations for this brilliant piece of writing 🙂
Thank you so much Manish. Your presence on TSS means a lot to me, and your appreciation is the most cherished possession for me. It’s indeed gratifying being read by you.
All the very best for the contest and thanks once again for stopping by 🙂
Hey Maitreni,
First of all I would like to thank you & Indi blogger for coming up with such an awesome giveaway.
I saw the #madeofgreat video & found it very inspiring. I am not just satisfied but delighted by Tata Motor’s Association with Lionel Messi. What drives us from within is what makes us great. Driven by excellence, talent, roots of humbleness, excellence & determination, Lionel Messi is definitely #madeofgreat who has proved that the zest to win, a humble approach towards life & endless perseverance cannot stop us from reaching the zenith of success. There no be no better association as just like Messi, Tata Motors is driven by technology, excellence, ethics in performance & the road ahead. Lionel Messi & Tata brand both go hand in hand with one another.

Thank you so much Heer. All the very best for the contest and thanks for stopping by 🙂
Every mother is made of great. wonderful post 🙂
A Rat’s Nibble
Thank you so much Meera. 🙂
This piece brims of emotion, memoirs, and a heartfelt tribute. It felt great to know of your mother and admire her being through your writing.
As for the expression of views towards the question, I would like to answer through a stanza or two of verse:
—
‘What drives us from within is what makes us great’
Belief in oneself, the zeal to put up a brave face,
In the face of adversity, to stand strong against fate,
That’s how life is – it’s an excellent goal to chase!
To create a name for oneself, from the soil your feet dampen,
To let critics enhance your effort, not let your spirits dampen,
It’s the journey that counts, more than having scaled the peak,
To persevere so that it’s your actions that have the loudest shriek!
—
To sum up, I feel that this age-old adage rings true whenever I think of this beautiful alliance of an Indian Global Brand – Tata Motors and a Global Argentinian Sportsperson – Lionel Messi
“Our Similarities bring us to a common ground; Our Differences allow us to be fascinated”
That realization is truly #madeofgreat. 🙂
Wow, what an amazing way to express your feelings. All the very best for the contest & thanks a lot for your appreciation. It’s my pleasure that you liked my post. 🙂

The story of a Legend in herself – that’s how I will describe it in a short sentence. Very well written with snaps which enhance the simplicity yet greatness of the Lady.. 🙂 Salutations brave lady..
My answer: Tata is a name which any and every person can rely on for its honesty, commitment and perseverance. Lionel Messi is a legend who has carved his name in history books with total dedication to the game, simple living and improvisation which is seen with each game he plays. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors solely because the brand Ambassador also holds the same reputation of not letting his fans down ever, like Tata Motors who have given the best to the world over the decades. Its an exemplary association par excellence.
You can choose my answer as the best if you feel I described it all well.. 🙂
Thank you so much Mr. Uppal. Glad that you liked my post. It’s indeed my pleasure being appreciated by you. All the very best for the contest. 🙂

It ringed the bells in my heart after reading this very carefully how your mother handled all the situations. This more than an emotional post Sangeetha ji. It is very impressive too because you wrote it with all the love & respect and praise. I salute your mother for all her greatest achievements. And what i think about Tata motors and Lionel Messi is , they both are brands that doesn’t know tiredness, confidence and self belief, commitment are their traits. They both have one common thing, ‘running’ Tata motors on the road and Iconic Messi in the ground. We can get enough inspiration from their system of success. And finally, i wish TSS all the best in this contest. 🙂
Thank you so very much Prasanna. It’s overwhelming reading your comments on TSS. The way you read every post with a heed and come up with your valuable take with subtle details, is indeed incredible. Glad that you liked my post, & all the best for the IB contest. 🙂
