Celebrating Mother’s Day

Kashmir Times. Dated: 5/16/2017 1:25:32 AM

Dear Editor,
Mother’s Day is one of many other ‘days’ started to be celebrated in India on behest of manufacturers of greeting cards who used to mint money by selling greeting-cards fit for each of such occasions! But with change of time, people have started using social-media for flooding face-book pages with messages of love and affection to mothers.
I recall melody-queen Lata Mangeshkar giving an all-sober comment on blind following of western culture in celebrating annual features like Father’s Day, Mother’s Day etc. She said “Indian culture provides worshipping father and mother all throughout the year every day rather than remembering them only once in a year!”
