You cannot choose not to be a mother. This is a truth I realised after being a reluctant mother to Miu, yet, becoming one without realising I was.

This mom had very 'filmi' expectations from her pregnancy and delivery, and tells a hilarious tale of how all of them fell flat, right up to the birth drama!

Yeah, you heard it right. This is all I want this Mother's Day; a day off from round-the-clock motherhood duties, a break from this programmed life. 

Intolerance for anything is the buzzword now, of any private or public behaviour, of others' choices, even of an innocent baby crying in a public place.

What are you waiting for? You have 10 days to arrange for these Mother's Day gifts on a budget. Take your pick from this list and surprise your mom.
