Blurb- Mother-a tribute of a yearning son- is a book based on true events spanning nearly a month, from the day the first symptom showed up in the author's mother till her last breath. The book narrates the several tests conducted, including biopsy, on his mother to diagnose her health condition as precisely as possible, and how the Doctors went ahead with a major surgical procedure called as 'Whipple's Technique'. The book further portrays how the post-surgery recovery did n't happen as expected and how the author's mother was then shifted to ICU, only to lead to gradual deterioration of her health. The doctor finally confirms a rare type of cancer called as 'Ampullary Carcinoma' due to malignant tumors in her Common Bile Duct (CBD). Inspite of putting up a brave and stiff fight against the cancer, she ultimately breathed her last on 18th February, 2016. This book does n't showcase only the tough battle of an ailing mother against the 'crawling crab', but also the unshakable determination of the Doctor to save his patient and not the least, the perseverance and the resilience of each and every family member to hold on to the faintest of hope till the end. The author has also given a detailed account of the mourning ritual followed in the part of India to which his family belonged. The poetry section of the book has numerous poems dedicated to the author's late Mother and all the mothers, both in human society and in all her forms.

Review- Review- My Mother: A tribute of yearning son is inspiring yet heartbreaking book where author gives us detailed​ account about the last battling days of his Mother. This book is beautiful yet difficult to read as you can feel the pain of the author and his family and you controlling your tears seems difficult.

The book has two parts. In first part Author gives us detail account of his mother's battle with cancer. This book is really sad as we read about a mother dying and how her family supports her and at the same time how heavy this loss is for author and his family. It was really beautiful to read how author and his family support his mother in her last days.

Second part of the book is poetry section which author dedicates to his dear mother. All the poems are beautiful and reflects the pain and love author feels for his late mother. Some of the poems really steal your heart and I actually called my mother after completing this book.

Language used in the book is lucid. Narration in the first part of the book is really good without any errors.
Poems are beautiful and inspiring.

All in all, My Mother is beautiful book where we read the love and care of a son for his mother. Also this book made me cry for 1 good hour which I am sure tells everything about the book.

It's a must read.
