As his unblinking gaze and broad brow suggest, Ganesha is an extremely intelligent god. When I was very young, I heard the story of how Parvati asked her two sons, Ganesh and Kartikeya, to go around the world in a race. Karikeya, the more vigorous and martial-minded of the two, set off at once, confident he would encircle the globe faster than his corpulent brother. Ganesh, after resting a while, took a few steps around his mother and sat down again. Parvati reminded him of her challenge. "But you are my world," Ganesh replied disarmingly, "and I have gone around you."Neither to say, he won the race - and my unqualified admiration.
- Shashi Tharoor, in his book 'India : From Midnight to the Millenium and Beyond'
Maa, while I may be no Ganesh and you might be no Parvati, but just wanted to let you know, you mean the world to me. And I love you more than you can imagine.
A very happy mother's day. And wish you all the happiness in the world.
I will/can never admire anyone more than I admire you, for all you have done, for all you have been through for your children.

Two quotes on Mother (one to be taken seriously and the other on a lighter side).
Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love.

I was extra sweet to my mom on mother's day..tho I know v don't need 'a' particular day to express love or celebrate motherhood..
and yeah, mothers work 7 days a week minus any perks, incentives and off's..they r the best :)
@Prash -> Nice quotes. :)
@Swats -> Yeah we dont need one day to express love for our moms. Phir bhi, loved the lines from that book, so decided to put them up.
