My plan for Mother's Day: I am planning to gift her a sari; since I'm working now, that will be my first gift to her. I might even take her out for dinner.

How the recession has affected my plan: Although there has been a two percent deduction in my salary, it hasn't affected me greatly. So it won't affect my plan either.

Message for my mother: I'm too confused to think of one particular message, as there's so much to say about her. However, I'd like to say: 'Your words have always been a motivating factor of my life. I love you, Mom!'
