However, while she was in Indore waiting to board her bus to Delhi, her mother called her and asked her to check her trolley bag.

“Open your trolley bag. I’ve kept your favourite ghee parathas,” her mother told her.

It Wasn't Just Parathas

Akanksha initially thought her mother had only packed the parathas. But when she opened the bag, she discovered an additional packet of moong dal.

There was a thoughtful reason behind the extra snack. Her mother knew that her daughter loved eating the parathas with her favourite namkeen and had packed it for her as well.

The unexpected gesture left Akanksha visibly emotional, reminding her of the small ways parents continue to care for their children even when they are living far away.

‘This Means Everything To Me’

Speaking about the moment, Akanksha said that people who live away from their parents understand how meaningful such small gestures can be.

“If you’re living away from your parents, you understand how little things matter. I’m just speechless right now, and this means everything to me,” she said.

She ended the video with a heartfelt message for her mother.

“So Mama, if you’re watching this, I love you, and you’re the best.”

Internet Relates To The Emotional Moment

The video struck a chord with viewers, particularly those who also live away from their families. Many shared their own experiences of receiving homemade food and travel snacks from their mothers.

“Mummas are the best,” one person wrote.

Another user shared, “I cry my heart out seeing my travel lunchbox every single time I leave. It’s just pure love.”
