“Happy Mother’s Day!

Ah, Mother’s Day—that one day in the year when the world suddenly remembers that moms exist. The house, moments ago, was silent. Everyone was lost in their digital rabbit holes—scrolling reels, binge-watching dramas, or playing mobile games like there’s a gold medal at stake.

And then… BREAKING NEWS flashes on the WhatsApp family group:
“Tomorrow is Mother’s Day!”

And just like that—panic.

Mother’s Day – An Annual Formality?

Let’s be honest (at least with ourselves).
Mother’s Day has become an annual formality—a 24-hour emotional campaign to showcase just how much we love our mothers. It’s less about actual gratitude and more about ticking off a social checklist.

• ✅ Buy something last minute
• ✅ Post a “Best Mom” selfie
• ✅ Cook something (badly)
• ✅ Share an emotional status
• ✅ Forget everything by next morning

Social media pressure. Moral pressure. Family group pressure. Even the most emotionally unavailable kids start behaving like saints. It’s like a global PR campaign titled:
“Look, I Love My Mom Too!”

The Great Gratitude Race

Whether you’re a loving daughter, clueless son, or a cousin who hasn’t replied in 8 months—suddenly everyone is sprinting in the Emotional Olympics.

And the events?

• Who can gift the most “thoughtful” mug
• Who can post the most emotional reel
• Who can pretend to know their mom’s favorite color

All for the prestigious title of:
“Most Loving Child 2025 (Mother’s Day Edition)”

Gifts, Cards & Cringe

“Mom, you’re my superhero!” — says the glittery card bought 6 minutes ago from the nearest shop.

Because nothing screams authentic love like mass-produced poetry and a “Best Mom Ever” t-shirt… that she’ll probably never wear.

And don’t even get us started on the kitchen gifts. Because obviously, after years of cooking and cleaning, what moms truly desire is… a new mixer grinder.

Commercial Carnival

Suddenly, brands go into overdrive.

From spa coupons to yoga mats, detox teas to pressure cookers—everything is on sale. Because apparently, mom’s life is incomplete without a floral apron or a non-stick tawa set.

“Celebrate Her!”
“Make Her Day Special!”
“Pamper Her!”
— all this, just so we can go back to ignoring her the very next day.

Breakfast Surprise… or Not

“Don’t worry mom, we’ll cook today!”

Sounds sweet, right?

Until—
“Where’s the tea strainer?”
“Where’s the turmeric?”
“Which dal should we use?”
“Mommmmm… the cooker isn’t whistling!”

In short: She ends up doing everything anyway, while pretending to be surprised and touched.

Because that’s what moms do. They smile through it all—even while cleaning the mess after the “surprise” breakfast.

Filtered Feelings

Meanwhile, WhatsApp and Instagram are overflowing.

Filtered selfies. Overdramatic quotes.
#MyMomIsTheBest
#Gratitude
#LoveYouMomForever

But ask yourself—is it love or likes we’re chasing?
Are we celebrating our moms or performing for our followers?

And Then… A Real Plot Twist

Just when you think you’ve won the “Best Child” award for the day, something unexpected happens.

Mom drops her own BREAKING NEWS on the family group… at midnight:

“From now on, I’ll be the kind of mom who makes her own decisions. No more yearly drama.”

Wait… what?!

Introducing: Mom’s New Rules

• Every month will now have a Mini Mother’s Day
• Every six months: a Half-Yearly Mother’s Day
• Every three years: a Maha Mother’s Day

On those days:

• I might go out. Alone.
• I’ll block you all on WhatsApp.
• I’ll order food or watch a movie BY MYSELF.
• I’ll shop for MYSELF. From MY apps.
• The TV remote is MINE. Whether it’s food shows, cricket, or reruns of daily soaps—I decide.
• If you argue, be warned. Mom Court Act will be enforced. Verdict is final, no appeal.

And if the drama continues?

“I might just upgrade Mini Mother’s Day to Weekly Mother’s Day. Yes, every week.”

Because guess what?

“I am a Mother—not a forwarded message to be remembered once a year.”

Mic. Drop.

The Real Takeaway

So this year, let’s move beyond one-day dramatics. Let’s celebrate her in the everyday.

Not with overpriced mugs or over-filtered posts. But with actual support, shared responsibilities, and daily appreciation.

Because Mom isn’t a festival. She’s a full-time emotion.

Let’s all truly celebrate Mother’s Day—but let’s start being sensitive and Grateful towards her for the rest of the year too, that’s how decode our Karma and mould ourselves by learning Mathematics of Karma
