Its not funny that I found 122,000 pages under Google
by making a search for ["Mother's Day Sale"],
1,740,000 pages under Google by making a search for
[Mothers Day Sale]. And 9,280,000 pages by making a
search for [Mother's+Day+Sale].
Now thats whats called Consumerism at its peak. And
mind you, not just that, its a global disease now
too. Don't tell me it too spread from
African
monkeys. Its from our very own Yankees, this
time around.
Well, I should be knowing. I started my mainstream
journalistic career in 1999 with
a Mother's Day story on the front page of
Economic
Times, Delhi.
Happy Mother's Day, dear Mamas! Just don't pamper
yourselves too much if you haven't taught kids how no
education is good enough if it does not teach why
joining naval bases targetting innocent civilians is
the greatest crime and why supporting profit bases of
gift makers for Mother's Day is not gonna solve
issues either.
