The way the Mothers' Day was shown on the TV channels in Pakistan as also other events and days such as the Fathers' Day, the Saint Valentine Day etc, in the name modernity but in fact vulgarity - is most deplorable, to say the least. We do not have to wait for the whole year to appreciate and recognise the role of our dear and loving mothers - like the Yankees who are discarded from the family the day they turn 18, and who in turn send their aging parents to the 'Old Homes' when they are to be provided with the much needed care and consideration by their "loving" children.
We pay our mothers our deepest gratitude and the warmest love EVERY day of the year around. Let's stop aping the West by celebrating such Mothers' and Fathers' days and that too perfunctorily only. I would also request the media to play its role responsibly and not influence the young minds by publicising such good for nothing thoughts and practices.
