OOooooooooooooooooo!! Choooooooooo chaaaaad!! Now your back side needs to get hit by a full flying kick...pathetic nincompoop mimicker monkey. Go and learn some Indian tradition before 'spending quality time', 'taking mother out'. So you are a 'social media marketing executive' and you can't buy chocolates because of recession!!! You work as a media 'executive' at dhobighat times I assume. Get yourself a descent job before licking american a$$. Fake.
In order to increase their sale Hallmark introduced all these days into our society and we also celebrate this day since west is celebrating.
But we don't understand that in west like America a son/daughter visits her mother during the mother day and provide some gifts to her. all the 364 days a son.daugther does not bother his/her mother.
In our country we live with our mother and we spend most of our time with her while we are at home. I don't understand why we consider this as a special day.

when and if desis get fully americanised and start having 60% divorce rates,disoriented society and pre , extra marital affairs become commonplace they will need some days like this to remember the family, so they are practising from now on , it is called practical approach ;)
Love won't cost you much. You do that for all thorough the year. Not just on a day.
Whole concept of "Mothers Day" or "Valentines Day" or "Any Day" for that matter, is just for commercialization. People who can afford indulge in extravaganza. Rest do what they do everyday.
i dont knw what that girl manasi want to make a point. didnt she treated her mother well on the remaining 364 days. Its just enuf to take care of her mother well and to be with ehr in all time. She would have spent lavishly before instead of savign few amoutn and now she comes and tell my salary got cut...blah blah...stupid girl and stupid rediff to opst such article

haaa.. Nicely said. Since when did she start celeberating this special day. May be she will regret saying this in public when she have few kids and they follow her article.
Mothers are for everyday. Not for one day. Also how can someone say I will not do anything for mother since I do not have a job. Which good mother care about yoru money anyways. A mother is a mother she is like God.
Live with Indian culture. Do nto follow the stupid west. We are rich with feelings.
10 cents worth from someone lived in US for 20 years. Motehr's day in this country is a marketing deal. Businesses make good profit the day. So they spread this to the world.
We stupid Indians follow this blindly. We should teach this people what is mother means. They only have seen mothers divorcing their dads in early age and living on their own having boy friends changing every week.

a bar of fruit n chocolate does not cost much..that one can only afford ONE!! this is all BS, yet another excuse of belittling ourselves, showing we have no money!!
This is sheer nonsense and part of the American "Junk Food".
Money is not the substitute for love.
There are good things about the West...We need to be cognizant and filter out the bad things.
I am a Muslim and the importance of Mothers cannot be emphasized by a stupid mothers day.
Here are some views regarding Mothers from the Islamic perspective. I am sure my Hindu brothers will have similar things to share. We do not need a mothers days. It is all commercialized.
- If there is any person important after God, it is your mother - If bowing before any human was permissible, it would be your Mother - Shoes made from your skin will not repay a drop of your Mothers milk - Be kind to your parents in their old age - Do not argue with your parents - Reapect your parents EVEN if they are non-Muslim. There should be no difference if they were Muslims
Think about it....All these "Days"...be it valentine's Day, Mothers day, Fathers, Day..etc..it is all about spending...
There is no substance. We need to respect and love our mother everyday. And care for them..not by throwing them in some old age home...by taking care of them just as they looked after us when we were infants.
America and the West have a lot of good things to offer. But there are an equal number of things that we have and we must cherish and follow these good values.
Indians seem to celebrate every 'American invented' days. Be original. We always call and talk to our Mom. Don't need a special day. Why so much immitations?
