I dont think we indians should have a day called mothers/fathers day to remember them...these has been done in the Western countries coz they move out of house with their wife/gf after 18...but not here in india for sure
actually these mother's days r observed in countries like usa, where they dont get time for 364 days. so they feel happy for remembering their mothers on a single day of the year!
it does not fit into ind's culture of joint family sysstem.
I have nothing else to say. Though grown up, I still want to be a small kid, going out, holding the hands of my mother...... I just cherish the feeling of being protected by my mother (and father)....My Mother (and Father) is/are just like God to me, because because of them only, I could see this world and achieve whatever I did....... The feeling cannot be expressed through words.....

But Sir, I think you are being selfish! and you seems to be a very pampered child!
If you have always been under the protection of parents then its them who have to deal with real world all the time and take all the stress because life is not an easy game. Its them, who got work hard all the time for your bread and plead before you to eat it.
If you really love your parents, then try to take their responsibilities like earning bread and dealing with harsh realities of life and try to be a shade for them in the burning Sun!
Although as a grown up, we have to manage many relations like our own children, wife, parents and relatives but wherever possible try to be fair with everyone.
That you must have the highest regard to your mother [and father] always was axiomatic in our culture. Now a single day is set apart for it as if to remind us of our this fundamental obligation to our mother [and father]. What is the logic is not clear.

Good point. This Mother's day/Father's day is a term that is brought about by the western civilization. If you look at it, it is nothing but another ploy by retailers to get money from consumers. I work in a retail company and you should see the business these companies make on these so called "Special" days. I don't think we need a day to remind us how special our parents are. we know that all year round.

True brother Usman. Going further, it is a crafty show-off devised by the Western World. The Concept of Family is History there ages ago. Parents & Children live n screw only for themselves as they don't want any responsibility. Hence aging souls are packed off to OLD HOUSES where they're kept to rot. Once in a Blue Moon (like these days) , they're visited & the same is Hyped as "Parental Care."
