Dexter Rodrigues, a 20-year-old BSc student from Mumbai, wants to keep things simple:
My plan for Mother's Day: I am going to cook a meal for my mother this Sunday and do as many household chores as possible. No other plans apart from that, as cooking by itself will take up a lot of my time!
How the recession has affected my plan: If I was going to buy her something, then yes, it probably would have been a bit of a problem. But in this case, the recession won't affect what I want to do -- I have a humble plan for my mother (smiles).
Message for my mother: I love you, Mom. I do all this for you only once a year, I wonder how you manage to love me everyday!
