Mother's Day is coming up this weekend. Here's a very unique mother's day idea to spend the day with kids who have no mother.
Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend. But what about the thousands of children who don’t have a mother?
“The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the love of a mother.” – Therese of Lisieux
Some say mothers are not rare! We all have mothers or how could we have possibly come into this world? Yes! It is true, it is our mothers who bring us into this world, but is each one of us lucky enough to experience that unconditional love of a mother?
Whether due to economic setbacks or societal pressure or the gender of the child, there are many unfortunate children living around us who are deprived of the purest form of love, a mother’s love. They live in orphanages and long to be hugged and experience a love that has no strings attached.
This Sunday, 8th of May, many of us will be celebrating Mother’s Day. It is a special day that has been dedicated to all the mothers in our lives to thank them for all the hardships and pain that each one of them go through in bringing up the kids and taking care of their families.
And on this day, we all strive to get the best gifts for our mothers so that we can honour them in the best way possible.
As we are busy thinking of the best gifts for our mothers, or looking forward to a day spent enjoying ourselves with our children, can we spare a moment for the unfortunate ones who don’t get to experience this love; who aren’t lucky enough to have a mother in their lives and are deprived of this love?
This year Mother’s Recipe has stepped in to fill in this gap for 500 children living in 15 orphanages across the country and gift them a day of happiness.
While many modern orphanages do provide their young inhabitants with the basics of life, it is true that they rarely get to celebrate a special day, or have fun out of the routine. This is where we can make a difference.
So instead of a brunch out, why not celebrate this Mother’s Day by spending a day at an orphanage with children? In the process, you not only give your time to a worthy cause, but also gift yourself the company of some wonderful kids.
Make this Mother’s Day more innovative, memorable and resourceful with the concept of #MotherForAll and celebrate it the Mother’s Recipe way! For all our readers in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bengaluru & Kolkata, do visit the Mother’s Recipe FB page for more details.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Women today don’t want to be in a partnership that complicates their lives further. They need an equal partner with whom they can figure out life as a team, playing by each other’s strengths.
We all are familiar with that one annoying aunty who is more interested in our marital status than in the dessert counter at a wedding. But these aunties have somehow become obsolete now. Now they are replaced by men we have in our lives. Friends, family, and even work colleagues. It’s the men who are worried about why we are not saying yes to one among their clans. What is wrong with us? Aren’t we scared of dying alone? Like them?
A recent interaction with a guy friend of mine turned sour when he lectured me about how I would regret not getting married at the right time. He lectured that every event in our lives needs to be completed within a certain timeframe set by society else we are doomed. I wasn’t angry. I was just disappointed to realize that annoying aunties are rapidly doubling in our society. And they don’t just appear at weddings or family functions anymore. They are everywhere. They are the real pandemic.
Let’s examine this a little closer.
