While a major chunk of the tech-savvy youngsters are gearing up to unfold technology-enabled surprises by relying on social networking sites and the latest WhatsApp to delight their moms on this special day, their peers with traditional bent of mind choose to rely on the age-old practice of visiting a store and picking up their favourite card or gift.
“Happy Mother’s Day means more than flowers and gifts; it means saying thank you; it means I love you; you are my mother, my friend; today is your day!” says wordings on a card on display at Archie’s Gallery near Benz Circle.
“Besides the regular stuff of cards and small and cute gift items, scrolls with wonderful way of paying tributes to a mother are a big hit this year. The scroll is a great addition to the collection this year. Flowers don’t last, delicate gifts may get damaged over time, but she will have the scroll to hang wherever she wants all year round. The celebration of this important day can’t get more unique than a scroll,” says P. Krishnaji of Archies’ Gallery.

“Technology can be kept at bay at least when the subject is as emotional as the mother’s place in one’s life,” he says.
