Celebrate Mother’s Day This Sunday in Chennai

Technically, every day is Mother’s Day, because the love of your mother cannot be replaced by anything or anyone else in the world. And while we do shower our mothers and grandmothers and aunts with love all the time, there’s one day every year where it’s just about them. Our entire lives, our mothers have fed, clothed and cared for us and while you don’t need one day to show your love and affection for what they have done so far, you get this one day to make up for your messes of the last year.

First celebrated in 1908 in the United States, the day has become important all around the world. Different countries celebrate Mother’s Day on different dates, but this year for India, the United States and a few other countries, it’s Sunday, the 8^th of May.

Take this opportunity to treat your mother to a fantastic day of pampering. Buy her a gift, a card, a hamper, take her for a spa treatment, but most of all, get her out of the house for a meal – even if you can cook up a storm. So all she has to do is sit there with you while you take care of everything. And lots of cafes and restaurants in the city have special deals just for you and your mom.
